SCROLL DOWN TO CHECK OUT THE CUSTOM INTERIOR!!

The main thing you want to do when planning to build a Mustang Show Car is to be different and unique. One of the most
important things you must do when building a SHOW-WINNING Mustang is:

At almost every Mustang show, we back our cars into a spot. Everyone walks by the front of the cars so therefore
it's the engine that everyone usually sees first. Unless you are at a show where the engine is not judged, a displayed
engine must look it's best no matter if it's fully chromed, painted, and polished or 100% bone stock. If a customized engine is to attract attention from judges as well as spectators, it must be unique. An idea is to do
something to the motor that, quite possibly, no one else has done to a motor before. With my engine compartment, I wanted to brighten up the area with color and chrome but I also didn't want to do what everyone else
has done up to the moment and paint their plastic engine pieces with just one color. I thought purple and black make a good combonation
but I couldn't decide on what shade of purple so I had a friend of mine airbrush two shades of purple on to the plastic parts
and have them fade from one shade to the other. I has been a very succesful idea. There are a lot of engine compartments out there on the show circuit who have more chrome (a LOT more) but I've been told show after show
that the best looking engine compartments have a color and chrome contrast. Contrast is very important when building a winning engine
compartment. Too much chrome just looks like a sea of mirrors where a splash of color would be more pleasing to the eye while giving
the chrome and polish some contrast.

Let's take a look at the custom interior.

Again, with the interior, I wanted to do something that has not been done to a Mustang's interior before. It seems like most people who do a custom interior cover the original door panels, center console and seats in a tweed or leather material trying to be unique. Well, I know the only way to stand out is to do something very different and not just in material. A good friend of mine, Michael Cox, has been doing custom interiors and custom stereos for truck owners for over 10 years. Since he had really never completely redone a Mustang interior, mine seemed like the perfect candidate due to the amount of custom work already done to the car. As can be seen in the above photos, he had some great ideas-giving it a Street Rod-style look.
