Crap...It's Here Part 3

Excuse the ignorance, but what was the gta model in the old days. Since you have gta on the side, wouldnt it make sense to remove the gt located on the car, maybe with a steeda badge in back and do the same on the other side you did there. Not really sure why you have gta when it is a gt, But it sure looks nice.

I love the MUSTANG lettering on the back. I was hoping those particular letters were a tad bit bigger. But still, I think I will be putting them on with a CDC ducktail spoiler...ala 67 Shelby...just with MUSTANG as opposed to SHELBY. A few touchs of chrome on a black car stand out even more.
Now, if only they'd just build my freaking car...TODAY!!!! :bang:

Nice ride! The "MUSTANG" script across the trunk is an excellent retro statement. Truly pays homage to the original. Well done!
I'm late to the Legend party, but now I'm partying seriously. I expect to order a LL GT on March 19th. Hope the weather and driving conditions improve soon so you can enjoy your car even more!

Mark, your car looks good. A few things though. First of all, I have the same running pony fender badges on my GT, but I also switched out the GT faux gas cap with the one from the V6 to have the running pony emblem there too. I would definitely look into that. Also, I can't say I like the white rocker stripes with the black wheels. White stripes with chrome or polished wheels, black stripes with painted or black wheels. Especially since you have the back area around the faux gas cap black. That's just my opinion though. Other than that, looks good.

I normally post in the classic section, & my father and I just finished restoring a 68 fastback. I had some custom emblems made for the car... seeing as how you and everyond here liked the look of the retro emblem, I thought I'd post what/where I got these custom billet emblems made:
I came up with the design, and BilletBadges.com worked with me to make them a reality, great people to work with...anywho, here are the badges:
The RSR stands for my father's initials:

we have two more that will be going in the same area as you put the GTA emblem, once it finally warms up around here....I don't mean to hijack your thread, but thought ya'll would like to see another possibility for custom emblems for your rides....
- cheers

Awesome mods. Just one question: How much trouble did you have putting the M U S T A N G on the decklid? I have been thinking about doing that on my Black GT (I agree, that would stand out big time) but have been waiting for someone else to do it first so I could ask how it was done! I am really jumpy about poking that many holes in the trunklid.

Looks great!
Did the GT badges come off easily? The '67 Ponies cover the holes nicely. Are they stick on?
Acadian, how about the faux GT gas cap swap?

Mark,
That's the BEST retro theme I've seenon any '05. Very tastefully and correctly done. Impressive.
I was wondering about the GT emblem locator holes. How well does the pony cover them up? Since you used the smaller 99-04 poniy, how do you think the size looks proportionally? Would the larger 94-98 pony look too big?

And here's your install tips if you like. Firstly, I've been **** about the location of stuff, trying to place the new emblems where they went on the old cars. So, I researched the lettering placement (but had to modify the height). Start with the middle "T" and mount it in the middle, half-way between the top of the trunk lip and the bottom of the 3rd brake light. The distance from the bottom edge of the "T" to the trunk lip works out to about 9/16th ". Then, true to 60's specs, locate the middle of the first "M" 11 3/4" from the left edge of the trunk, and the middle of the last "G" to the same distance from the right edge of the trunk. Your "U-S" on the left and "A-N" on the right then go about 4 1/2 " apart (at their centres), eg. the centre of the "U" will be about 4 1/2" from the centre of the "M" and so on. Anyways, it turned out fine. Get out the q-tips for wax though.....what a pain.
Good luck, they'll look GREAT on black!
