Geez thats a good one pete, there are so many good ones out there it is hard to choose. Mick did a good job on his and he was lucky it wasn't damaged more when his trailer rolled. I'll have a think and get back to you.

Seriously, anything that isn't a Mustang with GM on the plates. Nothing against Gary, I'm just sick of them. FAT GT is nice. |

cant remember the name of the bloke, but this customline with magna roof and dash would have to be one of my favorites...
what makes it even more awesome was that he's an aprentice panelbeater, 18 years old and it was his first custom car. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...8/000_0434.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...8/000_0436.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...8/000_0437.jpg |

From an American point, I would probably go with Boyd Coddingtons 42 Woody or one of the Foose master pieces.
