I need a chop of sorts done (color change)

[bswor 73]

With the recent paint damage to my 06 mustang I've been looking at some paint / stripe ideas. I was wondering if anyone could change the lower portion (the orange) of this foose model stang to screaming yellow for me :)

 

If you need a source for the yellow here is a pic of my car. The foose picture is attatched.

Dunh dunh dunh......this sounds like a job for super pak.

 

I'll give it a shot for ya, crappy pic though, half of the front end is missing.

 

Check back in 15-20.

[Pakrat 1,043]

Here's a quicky for ya, might be a little too screamin' but gives you an idea.

 

Are you planning on the front fascia and adds ons to?

 

[bswor 73]

Haha yeh that does scream a little to much but it does give me an idea. Um well I'm about to go talk to my paint guy and see what he says money wise. Then I'll contemplate front changes. But it is very possible. Thanks.

 

Edit: I've already got the check from state farm and it looks doable. So we shall see. I was originally thinking stripes but that's been done and done.

 

Paint guy says we start in about 2 weeks and first thing out of his mouth was two tone also. And doing a double pinstripe to break it up. Yellow pinstripe between the black paint and the black pinstripe. And looks like i will have to buy some painted GT mirrors since the v6 ones are non painted with a plastic finish.

 

Pak i'm going to try to find you a better picture to work with so I can print the finished work of yours out and show the paint guy, he really loves this type of stuff. He mainly see's wrecked cars all day.

Well looks like a nice person on another forum was able to dig up a photo for me.

instead of swapping front ends, why don't you just spend the extra on the 69? i'm dying to see you get back to work on that car.

[bswor 73]

The only thing I'm looking at doing that would be extra is changing the front fascia possibly or just adding a billet grille and front spoiler. I'm undecided.

 

I do need to work on my 69 but for the most part I have everything to finish it. Getting it done especially right now without the work space etc that I used to have is another thing. So the couple of hundred I have to come out of pocket for on the 06 is not really an issue for the 69. However there should be some progress on it in the next few months.

[Pakrat 1,043]

OK, well good luck Ben and let me know if you still need anything chopped up down the road.

 

Don't forget to save enough for the glass roof conversion!

[bswor 73]

LOL pak. Well instead of changing the front fascia I'm adding a billet grille upper and lower and I need some paint-able mirrors so I found some that have directional Led turn signals in them. They look really sharp. I decided against the fascia for two reasons. A) Louisiana roads would probably trash it. B) Price and added cost for paint etc.

 

Hopefully it all turns out tastefully. :)

[Pakrat 1,043]

Sounds like a plan, plus, why bother dumping all that extra cash into a 6cyl anyway. That's just a big ole waste, like fixing up an old coupe or ........doh, never mind.:whistling:

Son of a..... I hope your vert top leaks........

Heh heh, you have a good chance of that wish coming true bud since I'm still hell bent on doing it myself.

[bswor 73]

Well after some complications, my car is off to the shop. It should be done and ready to go by next Wednesday or Thursday.

 

Might add some pearl to the paint as well. Paint guy is going to shoot me some test panels to see what we like best. Woohoo.

[Pakrat 1,043]

Cool, keep us posted and good luck.

 

FYI: as a rule of thumb, not always a good idea to use words like guy, shoot, pearl all in the same sentence. I'll let you off the hook this time but if you had also thrown in the word necklace somewhere I may not have been able to restrain myself.:tongue_smilie:

that's kinda what i thought :tongue:

[bswor 73]

Ok update finally. The car has been painted and is looking good. I got to see it today, they had to redo it since the yellow pinstripe did not look right with the combo. But if all goes as planned I'll have it back Monday afternoon. Um they did a 3 stage paint job? But basically there's a little pearl and flake added to the yellow and black. You can only see it in direct light but it looks pretty cool. Bumpers etc are not on yet so I haven't seen the final product yet. Looking good tho! Thanks for the half chop pak :)

[bswor 73]

Heres some early pics

[bswor 73]

more (my connection is acting up hence the second post)

[bnickel 10,004]

it actually looks kinda similar to the 67 Terlingua T/A coupes from back in the day

[Grabber70Mach 107]

Looking good, I really like the way it turned out.
