    Wheels: Almost There!

    Blue Thunder had a cool idea for the lacy wheels ... I took a while for me to find it but I'm quoting him from an old thread of mine: "sending those out for machining and clear powder coating would make them look killer, too. Turned aluminum finish on those would be unique." So that's...

    Wheels: Almost There!

    They did blast them, but I'm not sure what they used. Whatever they used worked great because there was a little curb rash on one of the wheels and the blasting really smoothed it out. Are you thinking about keeping them white? What color is your car?

    Wheels: Almost There!

    okay, okay. hehe the picture is lame, I know. :) When the pinstriping is done I'll take some decent pics of the whole car. I've been browsing car magazines and books for cool "poses." And hopefully the fall leaves will still be pretty.

    Wheels: Almost There!

    what kind of wheels did you get? What color powdercoat are you thinking of? The aluminum finish would look cool too. I may do that years and years from now when the wheels need restoring again. there was no prep on my end except for cleaning. the shop that powdercoated them stripped them...

    Wheels: Almost There!

    2muchtime, wow it sounds like you made a great trade. Is the interior black to match the roof? Do you have any pictures? I think coupes have lots of potential. :D

    NEED HELP for NEW MII PROJECT!

    I heard the orange King Cobra won first. btw, my friend said the guy's go-kart was a vintage one his family found for him. If I run across one on Ebay I'll let you know.

    NEED HELP for NEW MII PROJECT!

    Impala, I remember that little car from Carlisle. My friend told me that guy had it specially made (he lives by her in NY). If I remember right she said the company who made it has (or had) a basic frame and can make the body however you want. I'll ask her. As for looking on Ebay, you...

    Wheels: Almost There!

    I agree with you about the wheels. In the 77 dealer brochure the wheels are pictured with tires with the raised white letters, but the picture is of a Cobra II and there's that red stripe to contrast with the white. I was worried with my car it was going to be too much white but now that I...

    Wheels: Almost There!

    The wheels are on the car, but still need to be pinstriped. (I'm hoping to get that done in a couple of weeks). The car looks a lot different now. I'm still sort of getting used to it. :) I'll take another picture when everything's done. Anybody need a set of hubcaps?? haha

    Exterior body parts for 1978 mustang II COUPE

    I really like the spoiler and stripes but I probably couldn't pull that off with a v6 huh? I do like that spoiler though. I see he painted or powdercoated the marker bezels and all the trim white. Interesting.

    What would you do with my 77 V6 coupe if it was yours?

    so true. white interior stuff in good condition is really hard to find. the few pieces I've seen for sale on Ebay for example are so grungy and nasty. If you get a chance post a pic of your interior. I'd love to see it. Here's a pic of my interior. The only thing I need to do is...

    What would you do with my 77 V6 coupe if it was yours?

    I've seen the Ghia sport group wheels and they look nice the way they match the car. These wheels I have... I first saw them white with the pinstripes on a white Cobra II like 1970Impala's and I liked the way it looked. So I'm hoping to get the same effect. The wheels are going to be...

    What would you do with my 77 V6 coupe if it was yours?

    It's kind of hard to tell from the pic because it's far away but are your wheels all white or just white around the rim. They look great!

    What would you do with my 77 V6 coupe if it was yours?

    that's a good option if it doesn't look quite right - thanks. We'll see. I have the red pinstriping on my car along the side and on the hood. I don't know why all of the sudden I'm thinking... hmm...I don't know about this. I guess that happens sometimes. well, it will definitely be a...

    What would you do with my 77 V6 coupe if it was yours?

    The wheels have been powdercoated white and I'm having the red pinstriping re-done. I also have the chrome center caps with the red centers. I hope the car won't look too... ahem... "pimped out" with white wheels on a white coupe. I think the chrome center caps and the striping will tone...

    What would you do with my 77 V6 coupe if it was yours?

    thanks for all the compliments :) don't worry I'm not going to do anything drastic (yet). It's just fun to consider the possibilities. there are a lot of neat ideas here. I do want to jazz the car up a bit because except for the white interior my car's a little ho-hum. The new wheels...
