We kepted the original mounting holes on the headlights, so down the road if we decide to put in some aftermarket headlights or whatnot, we have that option. Also if we have to replace a headlight its a matter of undoing 3 screws.

where it didnt go so well is we did weld to the core support and the inner fender (we are not attached to the outer fender). Thinking back on it we could have probably made those parts removable, but honestly i dont see myself doing anything to that core support. the inner fender i supose might need altering in the future if we try to tuck some 20's in there, but its really not my thing so i think we are alright.

TinaBanana · 02-18-2008, 05:41 PM

that s-10 camaro looks like its crying.

the new concept camaro was actually one of the runner up on our conversion.
we have some photoshop tucked away somewhere ill see if i can find them

cpolaris502 · 02-18-2008, 06:09 PM

did a bit more work this weekend

day one: started adding onto the hood

day 2: finished the hood addon

under the hood

next week we will start adding onto the bumper so it is level with the bottom of the lip on the headlights. and will build those pillers beside the headlight

it will look a little like this

greencactus3 · 02-24-2008, 06:01 PM

Maverick2664 · 02-24-2008, 06:09 PM

not a fan of the idea, but it looks like you do nice work, good job so far

just a thought, be sure youre able to get in behind that added part of the hood to be able to corrosion protect it, id be a shame to do all that work and have it rot out a year later

4.3Xtreme · 02-24-2008, 06:14 PM

That's some good work!

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 02-24-2008, 06:20 PM

lookin sick!!!

my dad has an 07 mustang gt.. if you need pics of anything let me know!

dagreenmonster · 02-24-2008, 06:35 PM

its looking a lot better then i thought it would. nice work man, keep it up

monkey03X · 02-24-2008, 06:35 PM

it's looking totally sweet dude can't wait till we see some more progress pics

kevdog · 02-24-2008, 07:14 PM

Turning out really nice! Keep up the great work!

ProTouring2.2 · 02-24-2008, 10:02 PM

woah!

better than i thought it would be, cant wait to see it done

s10junkie98 · 02-24-2008, 10:32 PM

f-in a! man this looks great!! **subscribes**

86bodydrpds10 · 02-25-2008, 06:24 PM

you should have made the curvy body styling flow into the headlights, in my honest opinion i think it looks retarded having the boxy front part of the fenders and hood. just does not look right on these trucks. if it was done up more curved and rolled i think it would look 100% better. but thats my opinion and to each his own but thats my .02...

xloud9t5gmcsuvx · 02-25-2008, 06:32 PM

looking good.

coffs03s10 · 02-25-2008, 07:15 PM

just thought id share. my good friend is a ranger intheusist, he shower me this a while back. (the license plate says muscrat lol)

coffs03s10 · 02-25-2008, 07:17 PM

oh and your truck is definately unique. i like where its goin!

The works good, but looks like ass.

coffs03s10 · 02-25-2008, 08:01 PM

i agree, very clean. i like the vent behind the door, looks cool. the front end is so high off the ground lol. the window shades look gay imo

malcolm H · 02-25-2008, 10:05 PM

Nice work!

TinaBanana · 03-02-2008, 10:50 PM

we only got one day of work on the s-tang this weekend.
we pretty much duplicated the photoshop i had above.
we cut our old bumper, banged out the dent and installed it on the top of the new bumper. next weekend we can weld it in and figure out what we are doing with the sides.

Garage Customs · 03-02-2008, 11:02 PM

nice work so far

hulkinator · 03-03-2008, 02:35 PM

things gonna look insane

xloud9t5gmcsuvx · 03-03-2008, 02:51 PM

killer dude, killer.

BONDO · 03-03-2008, 06:00 PM

i dont know yet good work tho

xtucking22s · 03-04-2008, 01:38 PM

oh damn you really are doing this! very cool after seeing you talk about it forever, looks like its coming along well.

Eight433 · 04-06-2008, 09:19 AM

updates yet?

stalephotograph · 04-06-2008, 10:35 AM

damn good work man. im not too excited about the mustang on a s10, but its coming along quite nice. props for the work.

Lays Low · 04-06-2008, 12:14 PM

damn, this is coming along nicely.

TinaBanana · 04-06-2008, 12:30 PM

we have been working a lil bit on the side markers which hasnt been 'fun work'.

we decided to not use the clear mustang turn signals we bought but rather use the s-10 turn signals and mold them into the bumper. they follow the shape of the bumper much better then the mustang turn signals.

the progress is minimal so no picture updates, maybe next weekend we will have a pic of the turn signals installed.

rebels10 · 04-06-2008, 04:31 PM

looks good so far.

TokoDragon · 04-07-2008, 04:19 AM

Even if you just worked a noma grill in and left the s10 bumper it'd be cool. Should look great with the full mustang front end. I'm not a ford fan either, but the only thing ford about it is how it looks, and the mustangs look pretty good.

Did the guy putting a 69 camaro front end on an s10 ever finish? Me and my dad talked about putting a 69 camaro front end on our 85 Astro, he could weld/cut very good after loosing use of one arm, and the astro broke down.

truefire04 · 05-20-2008, 11:55 AM

any new updates?

Dork · 05-20-2008, 10:39 PM

ya what's the deal, I was actually enjoying watching this one and seeing it take shape..

layinlow88 · 05-22-2008, 07:50 PM

werd....did ya'll finish it and not tell us or what??

*S*O*N*O*M*A* · 05-25-2008, 05:10 AM

Like the idea and love how it's turning out. Props on the work!

Edit: Yeah, why no updates lately, WTF!

sparky2613 · 05-29-2008, 07:21 PM

xloud9t5gmcsuvx · 05-29-2008, 08:38 PM

i was looking for a finish!!!!! sucks, it was looking so good too...

TinaBanana · 11-12-2008, 10:16 PM

sorry guys, we have been totally neglecting the poor s-tang. it sat the whole summer in the garage untouched. but now that all the outside summer work is done we are back at working on the s-tang every weekend. we will have progress pics to show next weekend. we have the turn signals molded in and we should have atleast one of the side bumper done too. after that we will be finishing everything up with bondo and primer. and we will work on the air dam a bit later down the road.

minitrucker6669 · 11-12-2008, 10:25 PM

damn that thing is gonna look good its nice and different subscribing
