🤢🤢gross... Ls in a ford is a disgrace

[@scottieflamingo718]

Who was the builder I definitely want to give him some business. Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks

[@ed8519]

I really like this build. It seems like a villains car. Not perfect but I like it more because of that.

[@billdunham6459]

Another amazing car. This channel never disappoints me. Build what you want!!

[@darthvega6358]

I agree, I put all Chevy stuff on my build, but that’s just what I want, my view is build a car to the specs you want, I have a future project for a 78 Cutlass but gonna use my dad’s 455ci from his 442, both were his, the 442 is beyond repair so I’ll save them both by combining them, then throw a couple of Hurst emblems on it 😁

[@metrotoronto2008]

I love it when he says "RELAX GUYS"....you KNOW what coming....lol

[@AutotopiaLA]

😂😂

[@jarronellis5801]

Art is an awesome builder he’s been working on my 65 for the last two years fair guy very knowledgeable

[@fasterdrive221]

what does your build look like? any photos? I'm looking to get a custom metal widebody built

[@llamasusmc]

Contact info for Art? thx

[@615al4]

Very nice Mustang. No problems here with the LS swap. Sharpe car indeed.

[@codaasllyfe4693]

It's a beautiful car until you get to the rear quarters, all that attention to detail, then crap...love the car, the quarters have been done half assed.

[@THESLlCK]

not everyone has a million to throw into their project car buddy. I doubt you have better to show...

[@wrxzboost]

agree - she sits right, sounds right, has personal touches which i'm fine with, but that rear quarter is just like a large ugly sheet bolted to the car and so in your face.

[@codaasllyfe4693]

@@THESLlCK just saying it wouldn't take a million to unhalfass that look for the rear quarters...they spent plenty for the interior, engine, suspension, and wham half ass the quarters? Really?

[@THESLlCK]

@@codaasllyfe4693 money runs out pal

[@Kyle-pl6rl]

He said he did on purpose

[@bryanluntz1603]

Great lookin' Mustang build That color is sharp

[@viperpins]

Those quarter panels... @4:50 "I knew the car wasn't going to be perfect." I'd say, You nailed it!

[@T0YCHEST]

I literally looked at the thumbnail and yelled “oh my go!” for 10 seconds, thats the sexiest 66.. thats saying a lot cause i love the 67,68 style first than the 69,70 style and 64-66 3rd. I love the paint

[@T0YCHEST]

And im not mad if it has an LS

[@T0YCHEST]

@Aeternalis Armentarius 66

[@T0YCHEST]

@Aeternalis Armentarius he edited the title lol

[@1valg]

That is a very well built Mustang. So many great details and all of them in the no nonsense department. Thumbs up!

[@korymanuel7158]

Doesn't get much better than that when it comes to old-school muscle

[@HardcoreMotors]

.....WHAT???

[@ivycycles]

Build your car the way "you" want it. Nice ride, enjoy the miles of smiles :-)

[@craigm2484]

That's a wicked sweet Beast! Hang in there guys I know holidays can suck for some of us Stay in the fight shit will get better..

[@CyberDocUSA]

This build is amazing as a badass daily driver!

[@AutotopiaLA]

Such a cool car. A bit rough in detail work but cool driver

[@Yournotawhat]

This I why I love checking out other people builds. I probably wouldn’t have made a substantial amount of the choices that he made but on his car it works! Sounds like he’s happy with what he got and that all the really matters!

[@MrSOHC46]

Very cool. Car has a fighter pilot feel to it. Very P51 ish. 😎

[@jasonmacneil2256]

Cool observation man!! P51!! Yeah!!

[@jongib4286]

Beast !! Proportionately, prob the best Mustang FORD has ever done

[@jamesploof3795]

The colors of this car are amazing, I love this thing

[@mikeking9777]

SWEET STANG! I LOVE OLD SCHOOL!

[@AutotopiaLA]

Such a mean build 👊

Perfect street Brawler!! Awesome...🤗

[@ganjd1148]

God demn that's a beauty!

[@chadpurser]

Great car, but I could do without the rear fenders.

[@guynoir4733]

I was always told to not say anything if I couldn't say something good , so .........

[@alanparrish7767]

Or at least if you spend that kind of money body work them into the quarters.

[@ericswires8534]

Yes. The fact they are squared off at the top instead of arching makes it look even worse.

[@davegerrard6857]

Agreed! Needed to be molded in! Looks shitty!

[@scottieflamingo718]

The interviewer basically talked shit about the mans car through the whole segment. You can tell the car owner was getting annoyed.

[@nakotaapache4674]

This car is a very sweat spot for a power looking car to my eyes. love it. i love people are having this passion and creativity. love it, lOve it.

[@dextec49]

The most unique Mustang I’ve seen in a long time. Making it your own is what it’s about. Riding on rails, autocross, daily driver sense to it. Ford, Chevy together with this one ☝️. Cool video

[@gt40homeNmoody]

I’m a ford guy and love all the makes, that Ls3 is the best choice for the money! It’s all aluminum 2011 forward I believe, that’s what I would’ve put in there since it’s a custom anyways

[@Mattmazz77]

What's up brother? Like always, love what you do. But my personal opinion on this build is I am not a fan of the rear fender flares being mounted on like that. I'm more of a molded in looking like a factory wide body.

[@awesomecomet3577]

Beautiful car, i always wanted to build a Pro-Touring '70 Charger so seeing builds like this are inspiring! 😎😊 Regardless of the engine choice! It works and works very well it looks and sounds so good!! 😍

[@Bsim2020]

That’s an awesome build. Thanks for covering it.

[@theariesexperiment4642]

Coolest thing I saw was those kicka$$ hood latches.🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@XCVi_MAC]

Prior to coming across this KZbin page I didn’t think California had this many badass muscle cars!

[@nerister]

car culture

[@jasonbryant3679]

Oh my god I absolutely love this car and it’s color!! Awesome build!!

[@christopherstacy9375]

Love it man awesome build. Everything you show I enjoyed it man

[@BernsteinOmega]

That interior is...something...

[@bigcat2679]

I’m a Chevy guy. That should have a coyote or a 429. It still looks killer I just think it would suit the far way better when that hood pops.

[@nickg4135]

personally i think he should have moulded the rear quarter or do a rivet style on the front fenders too but very nice car, loving what art has done and hope more of his work or a shop tour video is in the future

[@justinwaltower9454]

Beautiful 🤩

[@davidgammon4934]

It’s a good running, straight framed monster.

[@SamuelHollandsh]

Wow, yes, I really enjoy these nice videos! Thanks for sharing!

[@billypater5287]

Another Beauty fastback awesome sound effect fast FAST LOVE IT GREAT JOB

[@shaugt241]

Love the looks and what you have done with it. Great car with the practical nessesities and power :)

[@dextec49]

Everyone has their opinions about the rear quarter panels and I realize that I support people who think outside the box. 1st Amendment, but we have to encourage, support each other at the end of the day. This car is rare, unique in its own way, and it is successful, complete, ready to be shown to the rest of the world. Love it.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Cool comment here. We all get an opinion and personally I like the car a lot. Especially after driving it

[@abedanielspictures]

This guy killed that BTWFU theory!

[@gattaca5911]

nice lope during burn out....liked the aluminum floor mat look.

[@bonniedrasco8166]

Absolutely stunning

[@albinoblacksheep7826]

Love the paint job

[@djh5755]

I don't care who this car is from it's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life my favorite car of all time time with that being said don't Disrespect the engine Bay.

[@bzmaro]

Lovely car!!!! Honestly I kinda get a baby vicious stang vibe with the satin paint and the nose. Always giving us great content thanks guys!

[@khabaaustralia]

The LS put a smile on my face. The car, hmmm. He's enjoying it and that's all that matters

[@ORION-141]

Say what you will about the rear quarters, but this is a unique rustic, industrial looking build on a classic mustang👏🏽love it.

[@robertc4311]

Kick azz street fighter build....it’s very militaristic....like an old warbird....a P51 maybe? Wait, it is a Mustang! Great build and video guys! Rock on!🤙🏽

[@jonesjonz1]

Interior is awesome.

[@randymillsjr.1730]

Very nice.

[@heyyo_hurt]

I love everything thats different 😌 about this car beautiful.

[@rooster7658]

Damn thats a bad ass mustang love the color combo

[@avmelidor]

Great job Art

[@jameshoberg1609]

Damn cool car. Great guest. Great episode!

[@TheSatterleeTeam]

I guess the t5 was built up to handle the power. Are their kits or companies that know how to do this?

[@easycomeeasygo8901]

Since no one has dared say it yet I will. Such a shame. It's bad enough they taking the fox bodies, but a classic. Owner doesn't give a shit what I think and neither do I care what he thinks of my opinion. Not hard or very expensive getting 600hp out of a 351. But hey to each his own. U shared the car I shared my opinion.

[@MuShinnen]

I don't get how it's "bad". Half the people complaining have no intentions of building a car, and the other half can't afford to do it to a high standard anyway. Something being a classic doesn't mean it's sacred. Just means it's old.

[@bobbythompson4889]

Your right he doesn't give a shit what you think if don't like what you see on this channel than don't watch it it's a real shame people like can't except the today's world of car building people get tired of the same old shit the real problem is most people that bitch about someone build is because they can't afford to build there own ps don't care if you like my opinion or not it's just the way it is.

[@CornFedZ06]

This guy built a sick ass car and wanted a modern cheap injected small block. I don't see what the problem is. Go hate somewhere else!

[@ramonmunoz9271]

Well said👍

[@easycomeeasygo8901]

I knew the chevy fan boys couldn't resist 😂 I saved up many years to build my car and I did so on my own without any shops help. Not just a guy driving a Prius complaining. Thanks for taking time out of your busy lives people to complain about my complaining.

[@SRobison1931]

Nailed the looks on that one 👌 killer

[@AutotopiaLA]

Cool build all around

[@stevenl378]

This thing is absolutely ridiculous I love it! Keep it up!!ha!!!!

[@jayadams6156]

Not married to the green and the brown interior, prolly would of kept it all brown or black but a a badass, beautiful car. The matte green, black and red stripe make it stand out and I’ve never seen them together like that.

[@kylelui9193]

can we all just look in aww?? this dude has some phat and thickkk rear tires, and yet still has a good 3' of room in the back with the widebody for an even wider tire. sheeeeeesh

[@michaeln.7083]

Detroit speed builds great stuff but when it comes to 1st gen Mustangs Mike Maier has amazing suspension technology fro these.. I would of went with a Roush Yates engine I know they're big money but either way amazing build.. I just believe Ford in Ford and GM in GM.. love the content beautiful car..

[@zadosnation]

That color is awesome! B-e-a-utiful!

[@AutotopiaLA]

My only complaint on this car is the rear flares...great color and very fitting of it being a mongrel

[@yamahaxs6501]

I love these "real" builds.

[@AutotopiaLA]

You and me both

[@over-educated-sp]

SICK!

[@americanfamiliesfirst2790]

He never asked about the color of the car. One tough color!

[@NoSleepTilGitmo]

Awesome build man!

[@genemounce8302]

FINALLY found a stang with 295s on 18s like I want on my '68.

[@Chewygsxr]

Another great video Sean. The Fiesta Flash. 🤙🏼🍺

[@jonathanparker5375]

I like the 427, side pipes and the rims along with that color.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Yeah, I love this build too

[@cameronyeager7635]

Exactly hot rodding in general is all about adding stuff that isn't factory & ultimately will be personal to anyone for any reason. 🙂👍 Bitchin' Stang!

[@jasonmacneil2256]

I can appreciate the vision. But I will always say the riveted fender flares look unfinished and just cheap. It doesnt take that much to finish the fender flares like on the white one! But still cool factor and I bet shes a blast to drive!! Thanks again Shawn for all your and your teams efforts in bringing us these cool videos!!

[@MindDezign]

That's ANOTHER KICK-ASS Car. Out side like a good pair of jeans inside like a casual dress shirt in and a great pair of boots.! Why the clothing analogy, just looks comfortable ,Cool , with Muscle. Great build !

[@fsttrdl]

Look, my personal preference is to have a Ford engine in a Mustang, but that’s MY preference. If someone goes for something different? It’s their car, and that’s what modifying cars is about; go for the thing you prefer. Kick ass build, and a kick ass interior!

[@tevetanders9729]

PUT MORE COYOTES IN CHEVYS.

[@squidusn71]

...said no one.

[@FamilyCTSV]

@R Skip sucks for you kid.

[@HOLAATODOS-os5te]

Hell nah!

[@walter9724]

😂😂😂😂 there is a reason that LS engines are so popular. Its because they are 100%better than a ford engine. Sorry. But that's the good mail

[@JaredR1996]

That’s a looker 👀

[@dclong-]

I will have that very car someday. It fits my military career somehow. I have no idea why, it fits better than a breach.

[@strongplanted]

Love this!

[@bruceh92]

This Stang has the look, full on badass, sinister and best of all - modern parts. Way more interesting than a Hellcat or Demon.

[@robertc4311]

Yep....I agree!

[@Nanaehhco45]

Beautiful.... it made me cry..... i'm so proud to be an American! Love these pony cars...🥺

[@AutotopiaLA]

Awesome!!

[@nik_karpage]

Such a cool build right here... I dig it a lot, just badass all around. Love the color choices too

[@ron5118]

Too cool! If the army had a stang.

[@degenbrainlet]

What a monster love it 👹

[@poopoohead57]

Nice

[@JRLC420]

Very nice

[@hemiheritage]

I def like a lot about this build but I too prefer the seamless fender flares. I think it suits its moniker but If me I'd change up the moniker and with that the rear flares would be changed up as well. Car would be nice and clean with very little room to complain. All in all beautiful car Love the color scheme, the wheels, interior is tastefully done. Overall it s a thumbs up and the power to weight ratio at sub 3000lbs seems well thought out. Gd mix of fun and driveability

[@MOTOWNN]

Bad Azz ride! and love the LS!!!!!!!

[@grahamefreestone5309]

I wasn't sure about the rear fender flares, but the colour of the car makes them work. I never would of thought of brown interior either, but damn that soon grew on me. Halfway through the video I fell in love with the whole package. 👍

[@aidenkun3094]

Cool! And respect too

[@vibes3360]

Love the wheels and the color

[@justinm.791]

I understand purity in cars, but I also agree that you can and should do what you want!

[@mark1eyeball]

As soon as he popped the hood I knew some people would totally lose their ish🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@rbszx14r56]

Yup that'll piss off the ford guys lol cool car , I agree about the fender flares I like smooth

[@chazceena7594]

That is a bad ass Stang!!!

[@walter9724]

The ass being the bad part 😂

[@bryanevans2500]

There is nothing left of this thing that was Ford except the shell and doors. So what's the big deal with a different motor being used, everything else isn't Ford... Love LS motors, sexy in that Stang engine bay! Cheaper, easier to work on, add upgrades to for more power and one strong running motor.. oh, and so reliable. Forgot to add, I agree with the rear wheel flares, there has to be a better way to design them. Love the color, those sweet wheels and interior. It's a 9 for me. Keep bringing the cars that are driven, and driven hard the way I like to drive mine..

[@timtraverthediecastcollect6482]

I'm not a huge Mustang fan, My gosh it totally amazing car.

[@hawiianpwr]

Badass ride!

Definitely a mean build
