Had my rims powder coated black:


I started working on an idea for my seats on or about 10/6/08. I just got them finished! A lot of BS happened. Here they are:



Hope you like as much as I do.

Here was before:


& my seats.

Normally I don't like the black wheel look, but it looks really good on your car! You should try and find a black convertible boot as well.

 

Seats look awesome. What are the racing seats in the last pic? And you need bigger brakes now!

 

And paint them red too! If you do it yourself it only takes an hour or two. I painted all 4 of mine with a pair of jack stands and each caliper has 4 coats on it.

Do you have any pictures of your engine?

 

Those seats were Hunsakers. They were too wide for my car. When I shut doors, the bolsters hit my doors. On the boot, I take my vert top up & down to much to really use that, I think. Bigger brakes. I want to add better someday, I don't really drive enough to need them anymore. I had my calipers painted silver. I might do them in black now?

These are old engine pics, still the same though. I have no perf mods!!




I have a coil cover, Red Top, smog delete, that's about it. Yeah, my car is more for the show rather than for the go. Thanks!!

 

The reason I ask about the engine is because I did the red paint on my best friends cobra plaque...
Before:


After:


If that plaque on your engine screws off I would be willing to do the same thing for you on yours, just let me know.

Don't paint the calipers black. I have a friend with a blacked out 96 Cobra coupe and the black brakes don't look good behind the wheels. It's just a big mass of black. If you have the black wheels and tires, the red brakes will really pop, especially with the red paint job you already have on the car.

 

That's 1 more thing the guys didn't do to mine. I asked them to paint my calipers Laser Red. I kinda had a huge list to do! Not kinda, it was long. I can live with that not being done.

Sorry, those are older pics! Hang on!!


Not much changed, but I had a custom intake plate thing made. I also +'d Lokar dipsticks. I kinda like it in black. Thanks though.

 

Sweet looking ride!!

 

Thanks!!

 

I love the look of the interior now! sweet!

 

Thanks! The temp was kinda high yesterday in Texas. I had to go pay some of my grandmother's bills. I of course had my top down. If you'll look the tops & bottoms are done differently. Uh, the tops has like 3 sections & then a bigger one. The bottoms has 2 small sections & then the big one. To my very OCD ways, they are done way off!! He said the way he done them might stay cooler in the heat. I'm sure being tan & not black, they do. Still gets hot though!! I carry a white hand towel for this very reason!! They are still way better though, Thanks!

This pic shows it off better.

 

That looks awesome! I always wanted to do that exact same thing with my Thunderbird.
