Here is the car after teardown ready for my special touch. Car has 6 miles on it (I have not driven it yet) plans include: New paint, Door handles shaved, Boyd 20" Osiris rims, Toyo Tires, c-side scoops, quarter side scoops, window tint and whatever else I think of. Kinda handy to own a body shop.....and really fun to rip a new car apart

nice bro! good to see someone else not affraid to tear into a new vehicle, my last truck i bought was an 02 ram quad cab and with less then 10 miles (had to drive it to the shop) it was shaved, painted, bagged, rimed and redid the whole interior and bed. not going that crazy on the new stang though cause i need a break from the custom scene but my next vehicle will have the full treatment

Why new paint? Or do you mean different color?

Starting to get back to work on the car now again (nites) here's a couple pics so far.....just a lot of sanding sanding sanding now. Shaved doors were painted black and sanded again, now ready for the tu-tone pearl green. Hoping to get some paint on it this weekend?? I'll keep pics posted if so.

In answer to your ? Yes the tu-tone and pinstripe will follow right into the jambs.

I installed my plenum intake cover and had to remove 4 bolts to install it. The whole time I was thinking "I can't believe I'm taking apart a perfectly good new car". Thanks for the dose of reality.

Sounds great, I really like the idea of shaved door handles. If I hadn't already talked the wife into a procharger, I'd love to have mine shaved.

Mines not all that hairy, but I do like the no handle look like the concept I said it was going to be my first exterior mod but the wallet says otherwise, especially after I got my 1st insurance bill.
