Ryan Venturine’s 1965 Mustang project is sure to turn heads when it’s finished. There are truly dozens of “Top Secret” items on this car, but even with what you can see here, this is one Heavily Modded Machine. Slated to compete for Street Machine of the Year in 2010, there is no doubt that this car will not only compete, but hold it’s own too. The following is a very small amount of pictures of just some of the fabrication.
