Mustang without stripes just isnt a mustang :/

[SBCriss]

The color Red and Mustangs go together like butter on toast.. Er, whatever you like on your toast...

 

rofl :cheeky:

 

 

Mustang without stripes just isnt a mustang :/

 

 

Thats wrong. The new Shelbys have stripes, a classy mustang doesnt have stripes imo

E: Oh btw that was your 600st post :D

 

 

 

And I restored some parts today, going to upload some pics for you guys tomorrow.

And in like 2-3 months im going to work during the vacation and get some money, and then I'll make the next step, sandblast :)

 

E: Aww just checked that I lost the pics I did some weeks ago because my harddisk died :/ But got them from today, will do some more to show you guys :D

[eXile]

Yes but for me a mustang without the stripes kinda looks "unfinished" :/ Black with Grey stripe as you had it a few pages back looked very good :) !

[killalldude]

To each his own ;). I think your 'Stang would look better without stripes anyways. That body style is like the Grand Tourer version of the Mustang. IMO the stripes should just be on fastbacks and tuned convertibles.

 

I can't wait to see the new pics!

[zo6dude]

OOH shes pretty:) I love it.

What's the process for restoring a piece like that? Like, what tools/materials do you use to eliminate the rust and respray it? :confused:

[SBCriss]

First of all I washe most of the pieces, then dry them and then take everything off (do photos in case i forgot how it has to look later :lol: )

Then I use a special brush to get all the rust/paint of the piece I want to restore. Then respray it :)

Pretty easy and makes lots of fun too make things look nicer :)

[Revan174]

Absolutely amazing. :D

[SBCriss]

Didnt post for a while here, well, the 'stang is ''naked'' now:)

Up next: Body work

Wow! Your 'Stang is looking goood!!

[SBCriss]

Well, atm it doesn't really, but when it is done it sure will:p

But thanks:)

[killalldude]

Are you going to keep that color or are you planning to go Kona Blue?

[SBCriss]

Nope it will get its original color, Candy Apple Red, which will look like this

[killalldude]

Classic color, nice choice :)

[StrickenHAWK?]

Nice car mate. Lucky to have it as a first!

[waterybint]

Beautiful car indeed!

[SBCriss]

Hey folks!

 

Hard times at the moment, she is sitting in the garage and I can't do much.. I hope I get enough money for xmas to finally be able to continue!

Oh and by the way, I'm still not a 100% sure about the color, I saw a video of a '67 Coupe, grey with black stripes, just like Eleanor, and it looked really nice.. Not easy to find the right color for her, but hey, I still got some time!

 

Here is the video which I was talking about:

I love this color on 67 Stangs:

 

[SBCriss]

Hmm doesn't look that special, then I prefer Kona Blue to be honest:)

[killalldude]

If I had a classic Mustang I'd put a color on it. Red, blue, something that'll pop out of the general mass of silver and black cars. Also I wouldn't put stripes on that bodystyle of the Mustang. But it's your car, do as you please :D

[SBCriss]

Yeah you are right, but as I said, I'm not a 100% sure yet. And you're also right with the stripes, I prefer without on red or blue, but the grey one looks in my opinion better with black stripes than without:)

[GTAMADDOG]

If it was that Candy Apple Red colour I'd probably have a crisis :drool:

 

I'd only put stripes on it if it was a Fastback.

[The Compensator]

I prefer the blue. Good luck with your Mustang!

[Jim1945]

Paint it red ! Like my 67 ;)

White stripes coming soon :D (very soon !!)
