Ok...I just received the first of the many catologs I requested to start the restoration on Sinclair. What in the world is up with the Ronster (A version of the Mustang Kit car)? I'm going to rant for a second here...
1. What is up with the original style being tweaked and updated for the new models?
2. Who in their right mind would buy a Mustang Kit car? Sorry....I'm a firm believer of let the old classic style stay classic. Don't make them modern and "Fresh". I'm also a firm believer that Kit cars are for the rich yuppies that want something cool, but don't have enough brains to do it without a step by step diagram! Please note these are just my thoughts from spending way too much time in this state!  Thank you for letting me vent, I needed it!

Lol, people either seem to love it or hate it . I am not sure what you mean by Mustang kit car? It uses a stock Mustang coupe and is then modified from there. The ones Mustang Plus has done were coupes they saved from the wreckers that everyone else would have just said "trash".I have seen the Ronster in person and personally like it . Its something different. I also dont have a problem with melding new and old together, to each their own I say . ------------------

Ok maybe I should clarify...Driving home from work I saw a 65 mustang with a really poopy paint job (it was a really bad lime green and dakr purple flame job, you could see where the paint ran from a bad masking job) up an a 4X4 frame and a 69 that looked like it had a mixture of the old original body in the front with a 00 back end! You just can not mix styles like that. I'm sticking to my opinion of if you buy an older mustang fix it correctly! Andria

I like the ronster,and I have seen many cool custom Mustangs.I saw do waht ever you like and like what you do. 
As a kid there was a 65 Mustang that was made into a 4x4.The guy lived right across the street from me.It was so cool,that car was the 1st Mustang I ever noticed.

I like the first one but, like the first Viper and Prowler,--no windows----[OR TOP]! Well, it's Ok for bragging rites, or whatever, but kinda lacks practabilty. So you can say 'who wants practability??? Most people! No it's not a kit car. In a sense, it's like the Eleanors. Expensive and limited to a few who want or can afford it. It's an individual thing.

"an individual thing" ...and a surprise that more than one individual wants one.Not everyone with access to torches and a welder has good taste. The retractable conversion for Mustangs was another i'm none too fond of.
