- This car stopped me and my friend Sean Smith dead in our tracks at SEMA 2019 in the Toyo Treadpass. It's that good. In a sea of amazing custom cars this one was and is a stand out build. And the owner, builder couldn't be a cooler guy and not a builder by profession. He's a video game creator!
This build is going to blow you away so sit back and enjoy...

What wheels are those ?
Shawn, where can I apply to have a job like your job?
Tom Simi BWA HA HA HA
EXACTLY RIGHT..!
Windsor block 1000hp easy forget GM sucks in a nice Mustang.
always since i was a kid love the road course look never get tired of widebody ground effects
Shaggy really knows his stuff
He's Using 20% of his power for this build, needs a 1000hp
Plenty of scooby snacks
fun how its not racist if it white guy character
🤣🤣🤣 shaggy, this comment made my day
@@papaannefranku9693 tough guy
What's amazing is his talent, he did all this in his garage, love the color green.
My fav color: GREEN
british racing green inspired by old racing porsches. Just perfect
This is the epitome hot rodding. A guy hammering away in a single car garage with some average tools, teaching himself along the way. Add some imagination, a dream and dedication and you've reached the level the big shops strive for and sometimes miss. This guy's program is solid.
Hot rodding is a science in itself.
Shawn I really enjoy your hosting style, you don’t over talk the owner, I feel like you let the owner talk like he is showing his buddy his ride!
And this mustang is awesome!
Gotta be my new favorite mustang build of all time
EAT IT RING BROS...!!! IN YOUR FACE FOOSE...!!!
It’s cool but the ls just kills it man
I agree
The nightmate mustang
I like when he said .. " I didn't care about what anybody thinks" guy has talent, those who hate just don't have a car car like his! Lol
Or don't want. har har *cough* *wheeze*
Bad ass.
Translation. As you can see by his place he had a lot of random stuff laying around....
@@markperry3517 j wouldnt want this bad ass fast car that can handle. U know u lieing
Chris Ashton Is an epitome of true automotive craftsmanship. The body work on the mustang is absolutely beautiful. The fact that he actually used steel and welding to make HIS version of a wide body car is superb. I’m pleased to know that he didn’t go the typical-lazy bolt-on/drill fiber glass way.
You have to respect a guy that can put something like this Mustang together on his own. One detail I really like is the cold air intake through the grill-scoops on the front corners. FINALLY, they're functional, after 40 years!! ;^)
I agree, it only makes sense that thye should work!
Uhm ,.. guys been doing this since the 70s
@@TheLexiconDevils probably but i haven't seen anyone do it in a pro touring build like this.
@@jrpalm1948 This is NOT Pro Touring..is he's touring the track?
yes, but he made those rear nonfunctional 69 style that are there just for looks...
This is one of the sickest builds of any builder I've ever seen. Im in love with this car
Never been a Ford man but the 70 Mustang is definitely my favorite and this gentleman built a badass one. He said it perfectly ..." I didn't know it was going to turn out this good I just kept going after what I wanted ".... a true creative builder !
He’s such a talented creative guy!!
The quality and craftsmanship in these cars are mind blowing.
Man I gotta admit. This is one of my favourite cars I’ve ever seen in my whole life. This car has so much personal taste and style. The more I watched the more I liked.
Absolutely SICK!!!! Built-in his garage, that's just dope!!
I don't ever really comment, but this Mustang was really inspirational. Such a great vision brung to life by a hotrodder. Just what I needed to get my depressed, quarantined butt in the garage and work on mine. Great job and thank you for the great interview/ camera work Autotopia.
Thanks for appreciating what this is. Staggering build and incredibly cool smart guy
Over 4 years working on my car. Watching this guyon your channel inspires me not to give up. "Rome wasn't built in a day, and my sn95 wasn't neither."
This car should be named "Ruffian , body of a stallion, heart of a beast"! Great work!
He built such a unique creative car and all in that little garage! Awesome
Good story....a lot of innovation. I'm not a wide-body freak but it is functional for what he's doing. The LS doesn't bother me at all and I'm a Ford guy.
Loved the video. the car is sick, Chris did a fantastic job. he clearly has a talent for building awesome cars.
One thing is for sure, when the car sounds that good you don't need a radio.
I could listen to that all day!!!
The most beautiful Mustang I've ever seen.
It’s a special one. Wait til you see the GT40 he did recently. We show it briefly in our recent SEMA recap video
man this is amazing content and an excellent owner
Widebody Mustang never looked so sick!!! I want a resto-mod like this!
Chris & Shawn - thanks for giving all of us little guys with big dreams a whole bunch of hope!
Chris, loved that you made racing and practicality central to your approach - such an admirable result. Respect for your smart approach to the flares, door panels & TIG welding - such courage!
Shawn, great that you spent with Chris @ SEMA and then time to create such inspirational as well as enjoyable content - a wonderful choice!
Also loved the undetected illegal 1” ‘slope’ and cried at the 2” bust - very cheeky!
Glad I could find a way to share. Am blown away by all the positive response. Thank you
Chris - just hope you’re as blown away as we are at your achievement! Your project brought many happy memories for me...
FYI, I’m in east London, UK and a little older than you (and Shawn?!). As an exchange student, my first visit to US in ‘78 for 6 months included the goal of buying & driving a Mustang Fastback! Within 2 weeks I found a 1-owner ‘70 Fastback 302 3-speed auto in bright orange and had the time of my my life exceeding all of my expectations! Like you, I had a racing background, but in karts. My ‘72-‘76 project was to build my BMiniW Isetta - my kart for the road @ 44” track & 54” wheelbase!
Even @ 118k mi, my Mustang would wheelspin thro’ 2nd gear in a straight line, drift around cloverleaf slips on & off local roads - both in the dry. I’m afraid I made a bit of a nuisance of myself, but no tickets...
@@jeffreynolds3848 awesome. Thanks for that. :)
Chris 👍
I never have and probably never will, see a Mustang i want more than this...This Mustang is IT!
I get it. This and Vicious are the best Mustangs I’ve ever seen
Mustang really is the most beautiful Muscle car to me. Great job on this one!
I always appreciate the quality of elegance beauty and safety
Race it and drive it on the street? This is the ultimate period.
Carburetor and electric suspension. Can't say enough about this beauty
Stock door handles, roll up windows, wood steering wheel. Garage built by owner. Brings me back to the 70s. Love it.
It is a badass job dude love it looks really cool or any of them cars are self thanks again buddy this world is full of talented talented people and he's one
Never seen an intake quite like that b4, quite a statement piece! Awesome Mustang, although I am not entirely a purist, I would have like to have seen a Ford Motor in the engine bay. Regardless, still a beautiful car.
One of the best cars at SEMA and the the fact its homebuilt puts it over the top! Great build. So much respect for Chris in bringing this creation to life with his own hands and not being afraid to to try new things. Love this car, can't wait to see what he does next!
I feel his views on racecar feels over normal dailys and luxury cars. Lol it's just so raw of a feel almost like an emotion.
Same for me. Raw and visceral vs numb and boring
It’s always nice to see a beautiful Mustang. Great build, great video!
Wow. This guy did a killer job with this build! Impressive
Wow hands down badass. Amazing workmanship. I wish this guy was my neighbor just to see and hear that beautiful sound everyday.
he could have dropped a 351 based ford 427 in that easy ,but its his car and very bad ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ohhh 😮 my gosh!!!!! Just when we thought we saw our favorite car Shawn just keep giving us more
Such a badass Stang SWEEEEEET!😎
If only I was a kid again.
44yrs old and have always appreciated cool performance cars but the bug never bit me severly until about 3yrs ago. If I could go back I would learn/ take every car course I could, so I could do all my own wrenching. What a great hobby/pastime/career that would be.
At my age, I may end up taking a bodyshop course yet as I think it would be a good pleasure to frustration ratio lol
Really into vehicle body lines, wraps/graphics and exterior stuff. Think it would be meditative work for someone like me. Total eye for imperfection too, so I'd prob do gd work if the skill was within my grasp.
Love your channel, your enthusiasm, and love be treated to these amazing cars and builds🤙
Now that is one wild Mustang. Love it.
I’m obsessed with this one
Shaggy: Drives round a corner.
Bald surfie from Cali. You can really drive dude. You can tell you’ve been performance driving for years.
Shaggy. Shucks 🤓
I had my doubts by the thumbnail but the owner/builder is awesome, built in his garage, and the fact that car us bad ass. I too have a thing for the trans am style race cars lol.
Amazing work from one dude in his garage
Love this Muscle Car! That sound...
It’s such a great build!
Absolutely love it, sounds amazing
This is an incredible build and all done in that tiny garage!
Looks awesome
THERES THAT MEAN GREEN STANG AGAIN.💯 SWEET!
Thank you so much!!!!! So inspirational!!!!! TOTALLY AWESOME ENGINEERING!!!!
That LS with a Holley Carb is DIALED in!
Why would someone want to put a carb on an LS?
Robert Why would someone put a LS in a Mustang?
🤷🏽♂️
@@mancubzavala865289 LS engines are the best by far. Ford has no worthy competitor.
@Grumpy468 Get off the crack, and keep telling yourself that, chebbie boy. It's rotted your brain! Oh, I get it! Just like a chebbie..
Why you here on the Ford? Oh yeah, chasing them for over 50 years, imitating not originating.
👍 Seal of approval
Bestow my ❤️ heart! This beauty stoped me in my tracks. They say there are moments in life that speak to us with out saying a word. I believe I'm with out a doubt having one of those very moments. Thank you for sharing such a beauty!! ❤️🤟❤️ Sincerely Lulu
🙋❤️
This thing is sick. I saw the pics from SEMA. Thanks for a great review of it!
Legitimately your channel has become my favorite car review page! Positive vibes, badass cars, excellent interviewer, excellent quality of audio and video, perfect length of video, the list goes on!
Thank you!! I appreciate the compliment. We’re always trying to make great videos about cool builds and awesome people! Thank you 👊
Honored to get a reply! Hell yeah! Maybe one day I’ll see my ‘72 mustang on this page 😉
ShorrtRIDR I try keeping up with the comments. And yes on your 72!! Say when..
AutotopiaLA once it’s done being LS swapped so we can upset some folks haha
ShorrtRIDR let’s do it!
That’s one amazing piece of metal DANG 🤩
Shawn that was badass!! Never been a fan of the 70 Mustang until today. If Ford had made those look like that from day one they would have sold 10 times as many. Love your Channel!! Even when I have a bad day all I got to do is watch one of your vids and I'm good. Thanks for the content and the time you put into it.
SO badass!! What a great job! Clear he's a racer, the love in the build shows it.
Didnt like the LS Swap(why? 12:46 hahaha, just kidding), but the rest of it is incredible, fantastic job! Much respect.
Dude, that is bad-ass, a killer canyon carving resto-rod! Thanks for sharing yet another smokin' Mustang bro & I dig the 427 Chevy, brutal ride man!
Resto-Rod! i like that description
Big Block cubic inch..but in a tiny modern LS platform..the best. :) Dumped my OG chevy for a 6 litre LS that I built in my two car garage...loving it big time. Laying down 442 whp...gets 25mpg cruising..
@@mynameis63 I know, I had a new aluminium head 10:5.1 compression ZZ4 350 with headers installed in my clean 1987 El Camino & it ran like a raped ape, I can only imagine a bigger displacement one.
@@vinniecorleone62 Ummm..well that's the engine that I removed and sold. I built a 6 liter chevy engine..but the modern LS platform engine..fuel injection..competer controlled. Gave my old small block chevy to a buddy for his car.
@@mynameis63 This was in the early 2000's & sadly here in California I had to utilize the stock electronic carburetor to pass smog so my options were limited then but it was a solid 400 HP motor in an 80's car. Today we have easy options with injection, etc.
That's awesome! Good for him, man! Jazzes me up to see people create things like this at home.
That's bad ass. My neighbor had a 600hp 32 Ford with a chevy 350. And Harley fenders over the front wheels.
Amazing car
Out of all the cars you’ve shot, this is my favorite, hands down. I want it.
The look and the sound....what a beast! This freakin guy is an incredibly talented home builder, using the Trans Am theme in the design and execution....Brilliant
One of the best builds I have seen.
It reminds me as the Mustang version of the legendary Big Red Camaro
Such great inspiration for my Trans-Am/IMSA 1979 camaro build.
All props to Chris, definitely an amazing build. Me and the kid are working a 1970 coupe into something drivable. Doubt we'll get into as far as he did, but it's an inspiration to see what you can do with determination and talent!
That so badass, you cant get over the sound
Love the fact he’s built this in his garage. You know I love this. This was also one of my favourites at SEMA so glad this got on the channel bro 👊👊👊
Its kool that he build it in his Garage! That's true hot rodding to the core! Once u go to sema ur a custom fabricator in my opinion because someone noticed ur skills.
This is the video I've been waiting all my life!!!, his Mustang is almost the same as my own idea for mt Mustang
Such and inspiration to see that come together in a home garage. You've taken a 70s mustang and knocked it out of the park with this build. Thanks for sharing...
Boy, this guy can create something 'so spot on' . What a talent !
From a Chevy guy. I love that Mustang. Great job and I love the trans am style cars. I aim to do something similar to my 67 Camaro
What, put a Ford in it? Sorry, can't endorse it. Why do that to a perfectly good Ford engine, even if it would go faster and last longer.
SICK MUSTANG. WATCHED A FEW OF YOUR VIDEOS IN THE PAST, BUT I HAVE REALLY BEEN ENJOYING WATCHING LATELY. I GET THE SENSE YOU ARE A REAL PERSON,... DEFINITELY A REAL CAR GUY!
Finally, a Mustang I can love. Of course, it has the heart of a Chevy. Awesome build, brother!
Much respect to you both..that car is super dope..I love the LS swap..it makes the whole process so simple...Great Review!!!
That is a beautiful car, love the fact that it has a 7 liter LS, just cuz😊
The talent is off the charts! Beautiful car.
Dadgum there is a lot of new technology in that 70 mustang that is pretty awesome thank you for sharing it with us viewers
It’s an amazing build. Smart and creative and all done in that little garage!
This 'Stang is insane! I want one of those, too!
Nice 👍🏼 now all it needs is an engine
I hear ya but given his reasoning I don’t mind the LS at all
Dude that's one of the sickest custom garage builds I've ever seen let alone a mustang. Would be stoked to drive it. The builder is super humble too.
Love it, this is how the cars should be made, by a man for himself. Then you can name a car and give it a soul.
Much greater respect to this dude than to any other car made by a custom shop.
Mannnn I agree 100%
absolute perfection👌🏻
You must be more blind than Ray Charles.
This young man is a true gear head!
So many great cars, great interviews and great builders!
Sweet!
I can’t describe the sound I just made for that car it’s... perfect
Super sweet ride man. Thank you for sharing
Yeah, I love what Chris built here. Glad you like it too 👊
Biggest Stang fan in the world and that is one bad ass ride, good work dude, just goes to show ya if you want it bad enough you will find away to get it.
How does this channel only have 65k subscribers?
It won't for long.
I totally love the expression on the guy's face at 11:41.
Wowzers!
Grinder and paint makes you the welder you ain't. Major props to you for building this in your garage.
3:26
*I knew a LS was coming ellmao. Some poor woman In. America came home to her Ford loving Husband's exploded head*
Nice stang bro👍
True Artist keeping it grounded to where all the racing concepts were founded, at the Tracks on Sunday... The car & builder,,,, Cannot say enough to him and what he was able to create. Testament to staying disciplined of your personal goals.... Beautiful build and would be proud to create anything relatively close to his finish car.... Great job man... Keep it going and can’t wait to see the Next Ruffin...
This guy killed it with this Mustang!!!
Absolutely! And all done in his little garage. Such a killer build
