What sort of Mustangs.  I like the early ones, '64, '65.  My son has an '89
that he thinks is just wonderful and I don't like the looks of it at all.

A couple of thoughts come to mind.

Question: In this day and age of off-the-shelf window, door, etc. sizes do
you know if the GR is incorporated into those sizes or are they more geared
toward the notion of starting with a 2x4 and 16" stud spacings, 4x8 sheets
of plywood, etc. (realizing that those things really aren't that limiting
if you're willing to put up with a bit of waste). Lately I find myself
planning a garage/barn but laying it out in multiples of Mustang (the
car--I own several and the other cars I own are about the same size)
dimensions and the idea of sticking with two or four foot framing
intervals. Obviously these examples are not typical of architect-designed
structures (at least not, shall we say, artistically-designed ones) but I'm
just pointing out how the standard construction materials and other factors
influence the design process (at least of some out there in the field).
