Hey there, loyal fans of TJ Hunt's car vlogs! Did you catch his latest video where he announces the death of his beloved Armor 26 Mustang? Don't worry, it's not really dead, just getting a new life with some major aftermarket mods and a fresh coat of paint. And let's be real, that pink color was never really doing it for us, was it?
But before we get into the juicy details of this car rebuild, let's take a moment to appreciate the fact that TJ finally has some help with the project. Shoutout to Ian for making things happen at a "faster rate" - because let's face it, we've been waiting for this revival for what feels like forever. And now that the motor and trans are being pulled out and the car is headed to SOS Customs, we can finally see some progress on this tuner car.
But let's not forget the JDM culture that TJ loves to incorporate into his builds. From the RB engine in the front to the potential for Bride Lomax seats in the interior, this Mustang is going to be a unique blend of American muscle and Japanese flair. And let's not overlook the fact that TJ has Carol Shelby's autograph on the car - talk about a cool piece of history.
So, as we eagerly await the return of the Armor 26 Mustang, let's appreciate the fact that TJ is keeping the original body pieces and aesthetic of a Mustang while adding his own personal touch. And let's also appreciate the fact that he's open to our suggestions for the interior - classic American seats or JDM-inspired Bride Lomaxes? We can't wait to see the final result and all the "before and afters" that TJ will undoubtedly share with us.
