project nine in the quarter
 
Man that name sucks, but that is all i can think of at the moment so, oh well.
But i bought a 66 mustang model kit at a swap meet for 3 dollars and took it back to where i was set up to see why i got it so cheap. and long story short it has already been painted a blue color and it physically pains me to look at how bad this paint job is. But for those of you who thrive for mock ups here you go

what an amazing deal, except the paint job. that blue is kinda ***

mr.hotrod 03-29-2009 07:31 PM

i know what you mean and that blue is full of runs and bubbles

For the sake of all that is holy to the car gods lower the rear of that thing STAT!

Other than that looks like a good project. What color do you have planned for it?

no way man it suits the era
and im thinking flat black and possibly lancer man flames if i have the $$$

The old cars weren't lifted THAT high back then, a rake sure.. but that's a bit excessive. I bet if you make the rear sit about 1mm above the rear tires it would be perfect. :cool:

mr.hotrod 03-29-2009 09:07 PM

well i would the wheelie bars wouldnt let me but im also goin for that radical look and i am also rigging up fender tubs

mr.hotrod 03-31-2009 11:06 PM
