69Mustang16 92 Report post Posted January 4, 2017 So, what is the purpose of the splitter? So, a splitter on a racecar would apply downforce at high speeds so you don't get lift on the front end. But this clearly isn't a racecar so it's for looks. IMO, it makes the car look sleeker and lower to the ground. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That made me crack up... Thanks for following our build. We are just as anxious. I believe we have made a 180 and are going to paint the car blue. It's been a decision we've been wrestling with for months and had originally been set on red, but it's now looking like the car will be blue with black accents throughout. We hope to have paint on some part of the car early next week. Can't wait! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stangnet33 88 Report post Posted January 10, 2017 What do you guys plan for the back side of the hood ? (The square opening)Unless I missed it somewhere. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
69Mustang16 92 Report post Posted January 10, 2017 What do you guys plan for the back side of the hood ? (The square opening)Unless I missed it somewhere. Still working on a plan for that, we want it to be functional but also really sleek like the rest of the car. I'm sure we'll figure something out.

69Mustang16 92 Report post Posted January 18, 2017 Painting odds and ends as well as the 4 link and 3rd member Body should be getting paint first thing next week after all of the products come in. We ended up going with a custom mixed color. Also, wanted to say again that all work is being done out of Franklin NC, via GT Graphics and Customs. Gary Paquette ( the owner ) and his team have really been killing it on our build and have been able to make everything we have designed on paper a reality. Some Canadian named Kenny thinks we haven't been giving credit where credit is due, so here it is again Kenny! ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
