2006 Mustang 'Boss 302' I really liked the look of the new Mustang and saw some photos on the internet of a Parnelli Jones version. It resembled the old 1970's Boss 302. I made most of the modifications to get the bodywork close to this version, but did not put the engine in or polish all of the body after painting (just the horizontal surfaces). With all the noise about 're-born' muscle cars (Chargers, Camaros, etc.) I thought it would be appropriate to have a license plate for the Mustang say "NEVR DIED" I found Keith Marks through eBay and he makes decals for all kinds of muscle cars. You can see pictures at http://public.fotki.com/mofobow/ and his eBay username is kmarks999.
