The 1967 Mustang (yes it looks like a 68 ) is finally in primer! What do you guys think? Any ideas for paint color? Right now, we have it as medium metallic blue with pearl white Le Mans (shelby) stripes and two Coke red pin stripes on the outside edge of the white stripes. There will be a hood scoop from a 1969 Mustang (the smaller one, not the Boss 429) added later.

 

Different wheels too, from Boyd Coddington.

 

My 05s in the same shape.! Can't wait to see her after!!

 

wheels aren't my style, but it sounds like the paint is gonna look killer!

 

I'm not a fan of the wheels or putting a scoop on that turn signal hood.

I like the color idea though

 

three out of three agree .. the wheels dont work .. can you say " honda " ... any color you paint it will look good .. those are just good looking cars .. and leave the scoope off .. but do it as you want it .. not as we do ..if i were going to do anything to an ordinary coupe i would do this ...

 

The picture of the wheel does not really show how it actually looks on the car. They are 16's, not 15's, so it doesn't look like a dinner plate, nor a satellite dish. This Mustang was strictly for modification purposes, but not to make a ricer or disrespect its factory form. Pretty much, we were thinking "Well, we could put cragars on like everyone else, or we could do this." (Not saying Cragars don't look nice). As for the hood scoop, there are many who say the scoop will make the hood look too "busy." The turn signals won't be as noticeable with the stripes over them and the scoop will be painted all blue to calm the pattern down a bit. I'm not trying to prove you guys wrong, just explain a little to have you decide for yourself. We all have opinions.

 

cant wait to see the finished product... also cant wait to get me a 67ish...

 

Here's the build of the project. Original 1966 Shelby Cobra side pipes, 1968 GT350 engine, 1969 Mach 1 hood scoop, turn signal hood, hydroboost brake system from a 1996 Mustang, Lincoln Versi rear disc brakes, Ford Granada front disc brakes, Mercury Grand Marquis 9" 3.50 rear end, integrated power steering box out of an Izuzu Trooper (I'll explain), air conditioning. An Izuzu Trooper steering box is the same unit that Borgeson uses to make its integrated box as an early Mustang replacement. They remanufacture them, switch the bolt holes around, and sell them for $800. So, it was either spend $800 for that or find an Izuzu Trooper steering box and make it work for $75. It was actually pretty fun trying to make it fit in there. The pitman arm needed to be altered with help from a relative who works as a professional welder and metalworker, so it is safe to drive. After the car is painted will come the fun part: seeing if what we did works. You see, we could have restored this car back to original, but I figured it would be more fun to make it personalized.

 

Woah, did I really type that ^ much? Wow.
