That last picture was an old one with my Saleen Heritage bumper. I replaced that bumper with a GT/CS bumper. I have those emblems I think ou are referring too for the back quarter area. I am looking at getting them on to see what they look like. I showed the guys at the body shop and they really like them. I'll get some 3M tape on them and snap some pictures. I had the plain black rockers on there before the change. I just wanted a classier look with the painted rockers and the GT/CS rear bumper and CDC chin spoiler to have the flat black in the center and then blue on the outside to follow along the sides.
Ducktail is the Cervinis ducktail. Not sure what that stupid material is made of. Painter hates Cervinis because of the mold release agetns they use on their parts.

nice, nice, nice...
I had *almost* had my quarters welded up- talked to Shaun from Fang(thats not you is it?) was going to put 69 emblems up there, but saw the SHR louvers and fell in love with them...
I got the fang hood, looks like yours, but its fiberglass and weighs a ton compared to the Foose...I went with a wider outline stripe, *almost* put a 'power by ford' logo in the stripe before clearing, but chickened out
photoshop some of the 69/70 round emblems on your car, I think you might like them too I'm also partial to black-on-blue, have you considered blacking the rockers/lower bumper trim line?
I see you got the CDC solid rear bumper, and the custom medallion- whats gonna give for license plate space?
nice looking work there- absolutely love the formed ducktail- is it all steel?

heres a rough old photochop I did while waiting for my car to come in...was the first vista blue picture I found...was really wanting to do this, but like I said, just fell in love with the SHR louvers- so all I did was the black trim/louvers, fang hood/shaker came later on...
I really wanted the rear window louvers, but still havent found the 'perfect' set... really they need each slat to be unique(curved lower, straight upper) due to the trunk shape, was seriously thinking about making a set- might still someday. most sets Ive seen so far, from the rear you can see the roof under the top slat, the PJSaleen ones are the best Ive seen (think thats what yours are) but the 750 a set price was a bit too steep for me- I'm cheep, might still try to make a set up... on my 69 slats, the upper slat is a '3 sided' kind of stamping that fully seals top/sides, like that look a lot, but beating one out will be a bit of work with the corner radii, etc...the other slats would be relatively easy, once the pattern made anyways...also think reworking the 4 link trunk hinge will need modified to rotate the lid rearwards more if the bottom slat curve matches the glass...someday...
cant wait to see yours with the 69 emblems mounted up- think its gonna be even more awesome- again, congrats on a job well done!

Sean,
You've done an amazing job with this car! Would you mind sending me some images to my email so I can get them posted on our website? Don't forget to plan on bringing that car to Mustang Memories in August at Ford World Headquarters in Dearborn!

Thanks Reon. I will for sure be at Mustang Memories this year. 2012 was a wash for shows. Didn't bring the car to anything. Any particular views you want of the car? Are you mainly interested in the hood/shaker, since they came from CDC??

I think it is getting my vote also! I was looking for something different that nobody has done, but I think it is too smal for that area.
My other choice is to get a two tone SilverHorse Racing Rear medallion (silver outside/black inside) and put the tri-bar pony emblem in the centre.
But, I think for now at least, I will leave it clean.

Here are some updated pictures from the Detroit Autorama this past weekend. Ended up getting 2nd place in the Conservative Hard Top 2000-2010 division.
