I love the usage of the technic panel on the rear it fits soo nicely. Plus this looks really cool :).

Nice work! There's tons of detail, and I like the green. It looks great! It's a shame that those 2x3 and 2x2 angled plates on the front corners have exposed studs and lack the curvature of the bodywork behind them, but I can't think of any way that could be improved

A+ work! I like how someone has uses the non typical tires with the recessed mustang rims for once (looks kike the Bugatti Bolide or if not, the Ford Bronco tires?)

I had the Hot Wheels version back when I collected Hot Wheels, and love seeing it made in LEGO! I like the rims and seamless blending-in of Technic panels in the back.

I'm pretty sure those are just the normal truck tires, like were used on the original Mustang set that came with those rims

Yes, those are exactly the rims and tires from the Mustang set. I know the tire is too wide, but the rim matches the look of the original car.

Thanks! The Technic panel fit perfectly here (I hope).

Thanks! Me too—that’s why it stayed that way.
