'67 Ford Mustang Coupe Project

[Leadfoot[YT]]

Yeesh! Yeah, definitely watch out for seat covers, they are the quickest way to make a car look really cheesy and cheap - even on a Mustang. I don't have much experience (well, any) in restoration, but I'd say go for the original look or something close to that (depending on what fits and is comfortable, etc.). :)

Ill look what i do, maybe in the beginning covers and later new seats, you know i dont have the money to already buy new seats, im 15 ^.^ Ill keep that car forever, believe me or not, i have enough time to make it nearly perfect :)

Major Update:

I always wanted to paint it like the 2011 Mustang, in Kona Blue, but i changed my mind to this (photoshopped pic):

TBH although the Eleanor is an iconic mustang, Personally I wouldn't go for that look. I'd maybe slightly change the stripe colors to white with a black outline and make them thicker like on the Eleanor picture.

 

EDIT: Fantastic project you have going on there too! :thumbsup:

I don't think that will look good unless your Mustang is a fastback/convertible and you were planning to do an exact clone of the Elenor. Kona Blue will look great on your Mustang's body style. In fact I think it would look good on any Mustang ever made. And it would be far more original.

[Leadfoot[YT]]

It's your project and your vision, of course, but my vote is for sticking with the Kona Blue (unless you plan on doing a full Eleanor conversion with the bodykit/wheels/suspension modifications/etc., but since it's not a fastback, I'm not sure that would look too good). Just my $0.02. :)

I think it would be nice with a kona blue with a white stripe like the 2011 shelby

[SBCriss]

You're all right, but i still have time i guess the 'stang wont be finished next year or even the next 2 years :/

I would LOVE to do an eleanor version of it but why doing a eleanor of a coupe? Thats for me no real eleanor, just a replica.

But if get a job later and earn some money, i will 100% do a eleanor, that car is just :drool: for me most beautiful car ever build :)

Thanks for your opinions :)

 

Happy new year :hsquad:

Il'll soon put black stripes on mine too. I don't know when... :)

She is great like that :thumbsup:

[T0M722]

Make it Kona Blue colour. It's awesome. And the stripes should be closer together.

[DJdan]

well i'd say make it red and have the striping black with some other black details but thats my dream version of a Mustang

 

yours looks great for a project i wish i had the time and knowledge to do one too..

 

cant wait to see results although i wont be done for a while ;)

[tdu66]

How about Dark green ( Bullit )

Anyways, very cool project :)

[Jacob]

The Grey would be very nice, but without the stripes. Kona Blue would also be very nice, or a jet black.

[SBCriss]

Thanks for your opinions guys! :D

Yesterday I scanned all the papers i've got of the car and found some things, here is something:

The car got in 1998 sold by an american dude to an german guy for $600 !!!! And i payed 3000€ for it :lol:

Nice, my father has a... semi restored 67 coupe. From what I hear, it will turn out to be a very fun car ;) jealous XD

 

edit: I was actually at a car show today (called the 'all american car show' lol), saw a beautiful 69 fastback in this cool mid/dark grey metallic (darker than eleanor), i think it would look great on a 67/68 coupe. Just putting that out there (no stripes).

[TDUFREAK500]

I think it would look good in that colour

[killalldude]

I think Kona Blue with white stripes in that same stripe style would look better. And it would be far more original. Just my .02 ;)

[ScoobSTi]

Found some blue schemes for Mustangs built around the '67 model year just in case you wanted it blue.

[T0M722]

Grabber blue! Grabber blue!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SBCriss]

Thanks guys :D

Ye i wont do it in black, since it isnt an original color. I'll (maybe, im never sertain :lol:) paint it blue at the beginning, and later ill maybe put some stripes one it.

Ill take a look at those colors you've send me Scoob, thanks! :D

[SBCriss]

Hey folks! :D

 

I got another color for my stang now, it's the original color that it had before some dude painted it blue. I love this one and I think i'll keep it like that. And before someone asks, im not going to put white stripes on it :cheeky:

(In the left hand corner you can see a real pic of the color on a 1967 coupe)

Candyred ftw! My TDU2 Mustang is that color. Nice choice.

[MANTE84]

Same question as LeadFoot, what you've made on it last month , and if you change the color of your car same as you chan your shoes ...

[Ken]

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