I have a HUGE appreciation for the amount of work in that car, but it just doesn't do anything for me.  I would think their time would be better spent creating their own, one of a kind, supercar or something like that.  They certainly have the ability.

Back about 10 years ago I lived about 5 miles from there shop in Spring Green WI.  I had no Idea they were working on these kind of projects...LOL.

I agree with all the comments about their excesses, but keep in mind that they are businessmen. Their first several cars were show cars to get their names known by the general gearhead population. Now they build cars on commission. Mostly their cars are rolling catalogs for the parts they have developed. Love their billet hood hinges? Go to their website and you will find 50 variations that will fit your vintage Mustang(for amazingly high prices). You do not have to like everything they do to like some of the things they do. Although I have to agree with MS about all the exposed bolt heads in prominant places. Are we ready for the "Steam Punk" era of vintage Mustang customization?

Just caught this post so yes, I'm late to the game... I liked their Fairlane but think that the original styling of that car lent itself to their flavor of 'modding' more than the pretty much near perfect lines of the classic 'Stang do - looked at this 2+2 a bunch and it just doesn't work for me like the rest of you have already said. I must further defer to my daughter though, who, when I brought home the '66 (Coupé), gave it long looks up, down, front to back and side to side and said "most cars, ...there's something I don't like - Butt (TS&T), this one I can't find anything wrong with - it's awesome"! Big smiles 'cuz that's hard to get praise from a 17 yr old fashonista even if all the credit really belongs to the original designers.

All that being said I'd still rather beat the crap out of a Holman-Moody prepped Fairlane w/proper 427 than the Ring Bros. version (if I had the cash for either). Not to say - AT ALL - that I don't respect RBs skills, but FUN is FUN and there ain't no substitute for the 'real thing'.

OK - she said 'but' not 'Butt'... just exrapolating...
