She's back!

A little old lady almost destroyed my stang back in march. I got her back together, and here are the pics. let me know what you guys think! there was a little smudge on the lens, and there is still a bit of work that needs to be done (cut and buff, and a few odds and ends) but i couldnt wait to post some pics!!

Very unique. Can honestly say I haven't seen one like that before. I like what you did with the headlamps and the posts next to them. Pretty cool, man.

Thanks for the compliments guys! I was on the fence about the stripes for a while... I wanted the shelby stripes from bumper to bumper and over the roof, but the guy that striped her was deadset against it. I was open minded and told him to do something unique, but gave him the freedom to do what he wanted. They have grown on me allot!

I really wanted to black out the front and back, and when i saw the agent47 ram air kit I instantly dug it, so on it went! what do you think about the rear? The spoiler is a shade off, and will be repainted. I guess it is hard to lay pearl on parts after the fact so it has to go back in the booth....

I don't like how the stripes end on the spoiler. It feels like an odd place to end, especially since you've already got the interruption created by the third brake light. I think it'd be better if they either went all the way to the bumper, or ended right before the ledge of the spoiler.

Wow!

b) I don't normally compliment cars either.

BUT...

WOW!!!

Great job on the stripes, beautiful car!!!

there's yellow... then everything else, i know a thing or two about this and that is a nice car. color scheme is vanity, but stripes on top would have sealed the deal. excellent hood and tail stripes (think out the box).
but if you stripe the top, well....

hood

Love the hood stripes. That tapered look is very unique and more modern looking than the straight stripes. The lack of a roof stripe really sets it apart. Dare I say it...looks like a camaro stripe. I would have ended the stripe at the truck before the spoiler, though. Nice looking ride, bud.

Thanks! I always liked the SS stripes, and am a big fan of the 67-69 camaro and thought the same exact thing when I saw it finished. The spoiler still has to be repainted, and I am going to do some chops of it witout the stripes just to see.

thanks for all the feedback guys!

Very nicely done. One thing I must say is to get rid of the outline mustang head on the rear. It would look better blacked out completely.

Thanks! to each his own...I really dig that horse head for some reason. So much that I had a positive made of it so that i could use it to mask before the blackout was painted, so it is actually the yellow and pearl paint underneath. pictures dont do it justice as it pops when light hits it. I love it, so it got painted in

I am definately considering removing the stripes from the rear of the spoiler now though thanks to you guys. the spoiler got too much pearl, so it ended up being a more pale yellow than the rest of the car. I think I may have them just paint the back of the spoiler all yellow and pearl it, then end the stripes at the edge on the top like someone suggested earlier in the thread.

No
I know what you mean, but on this particular car... no.
That is part of what makes it unique.

I'm a big fan of the 70-73 Camaros myself. I think the camaro stripes look pretty sweet on your stang, and the way they end at the back of the trunk looks fine to me.

I'm no fan of the horse head either, but if you like it thats all that matters.

I have two suggestions. First, black out the horse on the grill. Second, get a set of Moss/AVS tail-light covers and paint them black. It really helps tie the blacked-out rearend in better. Here's how mine looks....

I think it looks fantastic!

I love the unique hood stripes and the overall theme... but then again, I am a yellow driver...

The hood stripes remind me of the 1970 Shelby GT500 hood stripes. They are just a little less pointy at the front of the hood. I think the car looks great. Not a fan of the horse head but if you like it then rock it.
