Your car definately looks nice but...(you asked)
I'm curious, you mentioned all those parts but I did not see anything on the block, still stock? Also, I see a painted nitrous bottle, but no lines connecting it and a stock radio. You have to have ALL the elements covered, not just a bunch of bolt-ons. Yeah, I got all that, plus a built storker motor, 8-rib conversion, stereo, yadda yadda yadda, what's the story behind the car? Or the angle behind the build, what makes it special besides being a nice clean car, that could land a featurette?

You gotta have all the angles besides fast and clean. 90% of our mustangs here are fast, and probably just as many are very clean.

there is a local builder that built that complete longblock(dasilva racing)...it has forged internerls,stage3 blower cams,ported heads and ect....the nos lines is not connected now cos of the street racing law that is pretty tight in my local town.everything is there ,it just have to go on the car.for a 2v motor to make that much power is great and not many 2v motor make that power.i have all the elements covered.i don't have to post all the info or story behind the stang on this site....all i am asking is if anyone have hookups or how it works..i have contact several high end mustang magazine and gave them all info and so far,got reply from two of them...well,i will keep u guys updated.

Another good thing is the story behind the car,the history,even about yourself in how you and the mustang came together,yada,yada,yada.
It's not always about how th car looks,or what bolt ons you have,or how pretty it looks,it's the story behind it all.
I know myself,once i get a few things done i will be writing to a few with a story.I think i got a good one.For one,i never really had an interest in the mustang until my brother bought one,(at the time i had a 1979 F-100 1/2 ton pick up that i was building to eat up all those to cool mustang drivers),and that changed my world,i then got that very stang off of him,and got nuts with it,then i went to purchase a Bullitt in '01,but then backed out due to a bad gut feeling,and sure enough,my wife and i were going to have a baby,so i backed out of the deal,and then later got my '03 GT brand new in '03,and am trying to get her built on a minimum budget,and parts to hit a solid 12 second E.T,which is almost there.
It's stuff like history,the relationship between the owner,and a stang being a freak that crabs there attention,not just a hopped up show car that sits pretty.Not saying yours does.But my statement is basically an example.The readers need to say to them selves,***** yeah,i can relate to this guyand his stang in the magazine.I know myself get tired of seing a sponsored,rich kids stang in the mag,reason being,i don't relate to that one bit.

Not to beat a horse to death (sorry for the pun), but you have a nice amount of chrome. Your bolts though are dirty and old looking, maybe they should probably be cleaned or polished up. It's all about attention to detail. I was checking out the engine trying to see what advice I can offer up. The exterior is definately worthy, and you have a nice list of mods as well, but I'd take, at least, the bolts you can see out and polish or replace them with chrome ones.
And good luck, I always look forward to seeing a 'non-terminator' car in the magazines.

Lately there really hasn't been many terminators in car magazines simply because most of them look alike and share similar if not identical mods. Having something unique, even if it's tacky looking, would make your car more likely to be noticed. Turbos seem to be the "in-thing" lately..
