The Sickness '03 GT update....

[svopaul]

Finishing up the back of Jon's GT...we were looking for something subtle to set her apart from other Mustangs so we've done a few special things to her :D

[Ponygirl]

Looks good :nice: I can't wait to see my baby.

Looks like a Cop Car :jester:

[Scothew]

nice! no wing, side scoops shaved. what else we going for?

[CrimsonRacing]

Is that screwdriver gonna be for opening the trunk?.......... :D

that is a really kool mod.







:metal:

[NightHawk756]

nice! no wing, side scoops shaved. what else we going for?I was wondering if anyone was gonna ever notice the side scoops. Definately "one-off" !! Jason does great work! :metal:

[Craig K.]

Looks real good, I like it without the side scoops

looks schweet got better idea now that its painted.. its gonna turn heads for sure..:nice:

Sweet! :nice:

my bad lurch :p

[svopaul]

I'm not blind and I know paul likes suttle stuff. It was the first thing I looked for.

Yeah, Jason needs credit too(especially since bringing the idea to reality was all him).....we think along the same lines and ideas are always being tossed around....simplifying things makes things cleaner. Jon wanted to bag the wing and we just started tossing around ideas to clean things up. There are more things to come......One of the major changes you can't see in the pics and will have to look for in person.

I really like the side scoop look...looks factory and brings a little bit of the 60's to the '03 design...Ford should have done that from the start!

[ChipR4cam]

I've always like the shaved side scoop look. I would probably do it to my car if it ever gets painted, or go the easy way out and put the Bullitt scoops on it.




It's nice that ya'll hire "special people" to do some work for you. (1st pic)

:jester:

:lol: I never noticed that but see what you mean!!! :lol:

[Jugg2Driver]

I love the scoopless rockers, how much would that run?

[NightHawk756]

I love the scoopless rockers, how much would that run?I'll let Paul or Jason answer that one. But it's gonna be pricey. You have to cut out the old recession for the scoop, then weld in metal to fill the large hole, then fill it in and prime. Then the rear quarters and doors have to be painted or blended to match the new paint. ;)

[Scothew]

Yeah, Jason needs credit too(especially since bringing the idea to reality was all him).....

yeah yeah I know, he already hazed me on AIM last night about it. I didnt mean it as in you alone, just the shop in general *whistles innocently and walks away slowly*

[svopaul]

Just :poke: at ya...:D


We had been discussing some other ideas off and on that I think we are going to go ahead with now as well.


Matt, you mean the rockers or quarter panels?...the rocker panels are still going on the car...just off for now but the scoops are permanently gone....

[99LS1]

Unless Jennifer gets her painting bubble, I need to get Jason to paint my car DSG :D

nice work :nice:

[Jugg2Driver]

I meant quarters, sorry!

[Ponygirl]

"paul" ???? hey don't I get any credit for anything I do???? :shrug:





:jester:

Yeah Paul...give the man some props. We don't want him to become disgruntled and me end up with a hot pink Cobra. :D
btw...Jason, You da man! :banana2:

Don't be hatin on our "Special" people!!

We even have little people around every now and then.... :jester:

[svopaul]

More updates....it's a little short right now :jester:


Also discovered that the rear end is actually bent today...not just an axle as first suspected.

In the end the only bolts not turned on the entire car will be the ones holding in the fuel tank.

[Scothew]

geez

[mustang1549]

what color did jon decide on. he told me last time i was there and dont remember.

[Craig K.]

Just can't believe that the insurance company didn't just total it.

Sounds like time for a fuel cell :jester:
seriously though, might be worth a fuel pump upgrade while it is in there.

[QWKSNKE]

Damn!

if you wrecked your car... would you want it taken from you after you started putting money into it and modding it????


besides the car isn't really THAT bad, i have fixed ALOT worse.....

[Ponygirl]

Nah, it would not be taken...I'd buy it back and build a factory 5 :D

[boosted23L]

i guess that is one way to look at it....

[svopaul]

besides the car isn't really THAT bad, i have fixed ALOT worse.....

:werd:

This is why I love pics and getting reactions....for most who don't deal with things like this is looks really bad to see everything from the firewall forward missing. The rear quarter panel was a ton more work to replace than the front end....considering how much time Jason spent on the rear quarter to this it is nothing....This car drove under it's own Power Wednesday with the front end crumpled and as of this morning(Friday) it has the new rails, towers and core support welded in place.

Also consider that we take a car farther apart than any regular body shop would....I doubt any shop would have removed the dash but because the firewall was being welded to Jason wanted to make sure he could get everwhere for both inspection and safety of what couldn't be seen with the dash installed.

...And sadly most shops would not have done the repair properly either....I have seen too many Mustangs half assed put back together. But most shops are worried about turning the $$$ really fast and want it in and out, Ofcourse we have to eat too but we would rather take the time to do it right and turn out a nice finished product...when finished you will never be able to tell this car was repaired.

There are still a lot of good shops out there but they are few and far between it seems :shake:

[99LS1]

Well if it was just a run-of-the-mill car, screw it. take the money and get something else. But run-of-the-mill to me might be special to someone else :D

[1sicklx]

Well if it was just a run-of-the-mill car, screw it. take the money and get something else. But run-of-the-mill to me might be special to someone else :D
........ There's not going to be anything run-of-the-mill about this car. SVP is taking a damaged car, and turning it into a (better than factory) work of automotive art. I have complete confidense in Paul and Jason, Jason's quality of work is professional in every sense of the word.

... run-of-the-mill :rolleyes: :P

Jonathon

[99LS1]

You didn't read that right. I said if my car was run-of-the-mill (i.e., 1 of a billion GT mustangs on the road), and it was wrecked like that, I'd just take the cash and get me another.

It's your car, I'm sure jason & paul will make it nice :nice:

[1sicklx]

;) no, I read it right, and understand where you're coming from. We just look at things differently.

I look at the wreck as an opportunity to take something considered "run-of-the-mill" and turn it into something that is truely one-of-a-kind (which I could never had done if it hadn't been for the wreck). While taking the money and splurging for an 03 cobra or 05 gt would be nice, I wouldn't be able to afford to do any kind of mods to them because of the extra debt. And therefore I would have a car that (while unwrecked) is still just "run-of-the-mill"

We just hold different points of view. ;)

[99LS1]

I bet we can agree on that we both look forward to the outcome :nice:

[1sicklx]

More updates....front rails are on and finished....engine bay is cut in with the new color that will go on the car. I had this color picked out for my Turbo Coupe and Jon liked it so much he had to copy me :poke: :jester:...he actually wanted black so we suggested this color :D

Looks waaay darker than true blue. Jon your car is going to be awesome when eet gets finished! I can't wait!

[1sicklx]

:chug: I'm glad everybody seems to like it :nice: We still have a few more surprises left up our sleeves. It's not true blue... its a subaru color ;) it looks black until the light hits it :drool:

[TheJeanyus]

The pics don't do that color justice. You have to see it in person to see how cool it really is. It shifts from practically black to a nice metallic navy blue when the light hits it right. :drool:

Well, it looks like I've managed to snowball my project a little more ... I sold my Prochamber and picked up one for the long tubes ... then my eyes found their way over to a set of X2C upper and lower control arms ... then over to an aluminum drive shaft ... :shake: looks like I've got some more overtime calling my name :(
