If you are good with a welder, you can slice the middle of the Mustang beltline "bump", fold it in, weld in a pair of lower Torino panels, and form a lip up top to match the Torino contour. If you can do it, this will look awesome.

Yeah flattening out the mustang body line was in the plan, but its pretty far down on the priority list
