As you can tell, this is a perfect terrible idea. I think we're all jealous, lol.

Bust out the welder and get subframe connectors and a cage pronto if you want to rally it or it's gonna get tore up quick. I'd probably weld up the torque boxes while down there too.

This would be tons of fun.

Okay! so here's a quick "render" of how I'm planning of painting it. Thoughts and opinions? I hope it have it fully up and running and painted by the 28th which is the next rally event.
I'm not sure I'm going to have time this weekend to work on it, but I'm going to do what I can to get it going soon.

I dig it. I think you could go a touch higher with the orange around the bottom. It's most noticeable on the rear bumper.

I would bump it up to match that body line right under the MUSTANG lettering on the back. That might be enough to look right. Or maybe an inch or so above the black cutout in the back. I know it's not exactly level, but I think that would look better than shorting it. Better to fit it to the body lines than make it ruler-perfect.
