#2 should be called "Project Pinky" lol

haha.... it has a girly name already, that one is a little too girly for my taste (no pun intended)

"Saleen Challenger" sounds cool. LOL.

close enough, my start doesnt have enough to really figure it out
its the SMS 570X, pic added to first post

I'd love to see the Saleen Mustang once it's finished.

i know the feeling

heres a past one i did modeled off the Saleen 550

awesome man, you got #2 so that just leaves #1 to be solved

patriot saleen mustang?

**** your good

first post will have pics off the cars im modeling after

:) hahahahah autoblog is my friend

do you have a link for the patriot? its a very hard car to find pics of

i dont but i can look around. The only one i could find was the front end view that was on the site.

alright, yeah thats pretty much the only one out there, theres one on cardomain but not a tun of pics

#1... hmm... "i dont know wtf this is" mustang?

last time i checked it was. but that was earlier today. it could be a pinto now

I like the idea. Hope it turns out well!

I have a Mustang shell from the strter kit and was wondering what type of paint works best with this body? It looks different from the other xmods shells. It's more metallic/glossy.
