A friend, Ev Dasilva, posted a pic of the Taurus orange with black stripes. Then I drove it to our local weekly car show “Car’s and Coffee” and people didn’t have nice things to say about it.
Well, breh he he, nobody speaks bad about my baby!!! One night I went outside shirtless and in sandals with a tape measure and pen and paper. I measured both hoods, both 48”. Measured rear ends, pretty similar. Width, ummmm about 8” narrower :P The next day I popped my front end off and set it in front of the Taurus bumper. Check out the pic below, yup I thought to myself I got this!!! Keep in mind I have never welded, done body work or fabricated anything before. I have done some painting but never an entire car. A plan was formed and hands were rubbed together
I drove the Taurus to Lake Havasu to see my good friend Ofer or 2SS/RSS owner of Gen5diy.com Well ya’ll know he’s got a few Camaro parts lying around and I was off and running. V6 bumper, non-RS headlights with the mounts cut off, side rockers and a spoiler. Well it was a good start! I also bought a rear bumper $100, tail lights $50, Camaro side mirrors $75, C5 Vette exhaust tips $35 and that was it! All bought off C5 and ebay I hand bent and fabricated everything else you see below! I didn’t even use the side rockers or Camaro mirrors. Honestly all told with buying tools, suppies, parts, etc I’ve spent a lot. Like $6k a lot. Was it worth it? Fu*# yeah!!! The education alone is priceless and the looks on people’s faces
Now that you know the back story, maybe you understand a little better. Few believe me, but I may like my Chevy
, but I love my FORD!!! haha
