With a snowy day, and predictions of a three day storm, I picked up my GT from Hamilton on a flatbed truck, and carried it a little farther north.

So far, driving has been limited to the driveway, until better weather arrives.

Amazing combination

The dealer did the stripes for you?


Six inches of snow in progress here... not exactly Mustang weather.

Congratulations on your new car! Looks great. Glad you added the stripes; otherwise you would have blended in with the scenery!

Good luck and enjoy.

As Billy Crystal would always say "you look marvalous!"

I like White with stipes more and more but the wife says no.

Please send snow to Washington St. We are all out.

Greg

What a great looking car! I supposed you'd expect snow this time of year up in your neck of the woods, but even down here in southern Maryland, it has snowed (or been real salty on the roads) four of the seven days I've had my new GT. I feel your pain!

The stripes are 10" with a 2" gap. I debated about 103/4" with a 1" gap, but went with the 10/2 set up. They were done by a local fellow. I was really influenced by Peter1966's white GT from Germany. Once I saw his photos, I knew what I wanted.

The dealer was great - kept the car warm inside for over a week until the striper could do his work.

There are a few bubbles in the stripes which I am hoping will disappear.

Right now the car is outside covered in snow, but it will be going into storage asap. These cars are exciting to drive just backing them off the flatbed truck!

Looks great! Snowing here about 5 inches wet, so far.

Good dealership to have keep car inside for you.

Just a headsup on those bubbles from experence. The air is trapped and the vinyl is stretched. Their not going anywhere. They will expand in summer sun somewhat. If a pin hole is used to release the air, the pin hole will expand over a short time. Depending on their size, it may be best just to replace the piece.

Spring is three weeks away, though in Detroit area it could be 9-10 more weeks before roads are repaired good enough to take a new car out. At least in Ontario, your roads are generally in much better shape and you will be out soon.

I have to admit, white with Blue stripes looks HOT. I'm not a fan of white cars, but adding the stripes changes my mind completely. congrats!
