When shooting a feature I am often asked if the car being photographed will make it in the magazine. My answer is always, "I'm not shooting it for nothing." Meaning, I am not going to waste my time, or a Mustang owner's time by taking the time to photograph a car if we don't plan on using it. If we've gotten far enough to get out the camera to shoot a car, that means it's worthy. Every once in a while, though, a car falls through the cracks. Check out why you've never seen this car in 5.0 after the jump...

This is Dwayne Blackwood's Fox Mustang. We shot it at the Bradenton NMRA (It might've been a Fun Ford event at that time, I can't remember), and when it was time to run it in the magazine, we couldn't get in touch with Dwayne. It would fall through the cracks for a bit, and then we tried to revisit runing the car, but we ran into the same problem. There was failure to communicate somewhere along the way.

To this day, Dwayne's Fox remains quite possibly the nicest Mustang we've photographed, but never featured in the magazine. Here are some of the photos we took for the feature.

As you can see, the exterior was smoothed, and sprayed a Dodge Intrepid beige/gold color. The engine compartment featured polished and chrome everything, including a Paxton Novi 2000 supercharger, and twin Optima batteries frenched into the inner aprons.

The interior was unlike any Mustang we had ever, or have ever seen. It looked more like a spaceship than a Mustang. The interior was probably the most-modified of any Mustang we had seen up to that point, and that fact is still true today. The gauges were digital, and the sound system was crazy loud, and well-done. We'd be hard-pressed to see a more well-executed Mustang interior as Dwayne's.

I ran across these photos of Dwayne's car, and had to get them out to Mustang nation. Also, we're trying to get in touch with Dwayne so we can finally get his Fox in the magazine. Until then, here ya go.
