it will not stay silver, but the silver does look good, the next color is pictured, and your last sentence confuses me

[F-100CuStOmCaB]

I know your not keeping it silver but thought many times of doing a fox body Mustang silver because my '86 Mustang was silver. Doing like a tribute cuz now it's junk, someday might put it in a demo would be fun. But yea that silver is laid on really nice.

BTW you get it mounted yet?

finding the 86 kit will be the hard part
yes it is mounted, took a bit of time, and i superglued my finders in the prosess

I wouldn't use an '86 but would be cool if I could find one:p Thought of doing it to that yellow '87 that I redid. I didn't really have the right silver plus I wanted to kind of do somthing totally different at the same time.

[stangdude94]

thanks but this is not the place for that

[stangdude94]

everything is better topless . leave the top down and try 2 mount the interior on the chassis or somehow get the interior on it .

haha, ok i will see what i can do, check your messages

[stangdude94]

ok will do

[blue504life]

well its goin to have to be top up, the body sits to close to the chassis for interior, for at least the way i want to do it

[F-100CuStOmCaB]

Yea I know I kind of wanted to do it with the top down to but the body sits so low that you would have to chop the interior down to nothing in order to get it to fit would be kind of point less I think

[zippo855]

good looking project, it would be sweet topless, but like he stated, if you do topless hows the interior going to look?

[blue504life]

yep that is true

thanks, my seats were chopped down to the head rest and that was it, it would have been cool if i could do it, but not worth the time

[Hardcore racer]

lookin good man.
For some reason the headlights are killing this car for me. im not sure why,it could just the way they are made but i dunno.

i dont know why, they are set up factory. i could do after market, and just have them all clear. would that help?

[xmodkidd33]

I think the orange is too opaque (solid). It's supposed to be more transparent, next time try mixing the paint with water or paint thinner.

it is very solid, but i have no plans of lights so its ok.

only if the green on your xmods was a little bit darker than you would have a perfect match...either way it's still looks good...great job on it...

i do have the paint code for the car, one of my next car will be that color. if my car was a GT and convertible it would match even better

my car
93 mustang LX with the 2.3L I4

http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff127/blue504life/CIMG0677-1.jpg

[zippo855]

turned out pretty good. those rims look pretty good on the mustang. i have a set on my cobra.
whats your next project body? would be cool if you could find a model identical to your car and paint it same color.

[F-100CuStOmCaB]

Sorry for off topic but you got a 2.3L in that thing!! Hows MPG? mine suked prolly got like 10-15mpg with mine but carburated though, yours(injection)?, suppose though not a GT or 5.0. Should make it 1 LOL:)

But for me I like both the orange and the clear lenses on it looks good either way I think.

[zippo855]
