I was kind of excited.


I don't think I like you anymore Dave.

So that makes two of us, should we get T-shirts?

 

[Noobz347]

You could have called it, "The JollyRancher".


YouCwutIdidThere?

 

[Davedacarpainter]

Bah, this car will just be called Doby as well. Simple and descriptive. Just a boy version.

So, I chose the jeep green. I ordered a gallon unreduced.

Here's the most accurate picture I've found that looks like it does in person.

That's just a color you need to see in person to understand.

It is Blake. You have to see it in your mind on a fox body. I really wanted this color all along. I like the blue, I loved the red, but this is what I want.

It's different as well without being obnoxious. I can't wait to start shooting it.

In a day or two the fender will be shot so y'all can have an idea of what I see.

I'm sure it will look better on the Mustang than it does on the Jeep. The modern Jeeps have a way of making any color look ugly.

As a reminder of what the car looks like

and one for you to transpose the new color to it.

Now show us what the car really looks like Dave.,...Not how it USED to look.

There's still time to right this wrong, Dave! You don't have to put my name on it, but look at that green. Man, that's pure 90's glory right there. And a lot of Bud Ice Light. (WHO DRINKS THAT ?)

Oh I know that mike. I just wanted to have a put together picture of the car for people to envision the green on. The body actually looks worse in real life now compared to that picture, You can see all the nastiness.

My green really is similar to the original color of your wheels, isn't it?

 

[NIKwoaC]

Great choice on the green, Dave. The blue looked great, but let's be serious, 90% of Mustangs are blue.

Hot wheels has produced some metallic green Foxes over the years, so maybe this will help with the imagination a bit-

Don't forget the monster garage one

I forgot about the Monster Garage Mustang, ill have to go back and watch that again.

 

[Davedacarpainter]

Don't forget the monster garage one

[BlakeusMaximus]

Its a lawn mower!

 

[Noobz347]

Its a lawn mower!

It's a Fiesta Hat!

 

[BlakeusMaximus]

It's a Fiesta Hat!

Its a monstrosity!

 

[BlakeusMaximus]

It was pretty neat to watch though, I had a 88GT vert when that episode came out.

 

[Davedacarpainter]

I'm hoping mine will be a little more tasteful.......no flames or other stuff
