Just messin with a few paint options

 

Glad to see that you put your thread back on! Starting to look good already!

Be sure and post updates with pics! It's cool to see a Mustang restro taking place!

 

May i suggest a 2 inch gap between the stripes?....

 

Thanks! Will do. I think those are the colors im going to end up getting painted

 

hmmm, have to take into consideration. my brothers is like a 6in gap i THINK and i like the way it looks. but, paint might be far away so i have some time to think... Thanks for the suggestion

 

How does it perform with the new carb, and intake? I might have the same ones on my car?

 

sounds awesome havent set up the electric part of the carb yet

 

Good! I have the Edlebrock 1406 carb, and the performer 2121 intake. It gave the car a lot more power!

 

nice Cant wait to drive mine. still needs tires and rims

 

Yeah, I did that as well with mine. What are you going to go with? I went with the American Racing Chrome Torque Thrust D's in 205/60/R15 and BFG TA Radials. Really made the car stand out!

 

I would like those rims, and probably BFG tires. maybe a little wider in back

 

If you want bullitts I would recommend checking out www.oewheelsllc.com

They have good prices and I have yet to hear anything bad about them. You will have to email them about backspacing though since they only put offset on their site.

 

I had 225 on at first, but they rubbed on the front fender. You would probably be ok with them in the back, but then you won't be able to rotate them.

 

True, never thought of that...

 

Yeah, I didn't think they would be a problem. But since the guys at Discount Tire had told me that they would fit, they changed them out for the smaller size at no cost to me!

That's one of the advantages of going with a local place verus another place on the internet. Plus, the price was the same as any of the online tire stores that I checked.

But, anyways I'm sure your Mustang is going to look really good with a new set of wheels. I like the stripe as well.

 

nice! Thanks I might go with a little darker shade of blue or that shade, not quite sure

 

Are you going to get the whole car painted?

That and new wheels/tires would really make it look good!

 

ya, im not painting it myself, haha.

Well tires and rims MIGHT be ordered today or this week

 

Could use everyones opinion on what they think look better for stripes...

Random pic found on google...

My brothers car

 

The top pic (small stripe gap). To me it looks more classic...

All depends on the look you're going for tho.
