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

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 :) !

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!

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:

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 :)

SBCriss · September 11, 2011

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

killalldude · September 11, 2011

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

SBCriss · September 12, 2011

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

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

waterybint · October 31, 2011

Beautiful car indeed!

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 · December 4, 2011

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

killalldude · December 4, 2011

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 · December 4, 2011

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:)
