Awesome build, and lots of respect to you that you build something that you love, but what never was in production.
You`re building a remake of a prototype, now that`s love for a car !

top work on that roof, 1 thing tho, that roofs a 64 notch back mustang roof in that original photo by the look of it or at least it been styled on it, to late now but i woulda thought cutting one of them to fit would have been alot easier. sayin that the roof uv made is a work of art so maybe just get the mustang vents for it as in the proto type picture. i no someone who breaks alot of old mustangs (not essex racing) if you need a contact
