    1969 Mach 1 "Blackened"

    Ok, now I've seen a few more pics with better lighting... it's confirmed. Like I said, I like black cars, but once everything is blacked out it becomes a bit cartoonish or cheap looking (like the owner couldn't afford proper chrome bumpers or moldings). In this case, it's neither of those, but...

    1969 Mach 1 "Blackened"

    Yeah... I did a search and it looks like Year One changed their site to delete any finished pics. And there are absolutely none from the article on Hot Rod's site either... very annoying. This was the one from their SEMA coverage...

    1969 Mach 1 "Blackened"

    You know, I wanted to be blown away by the car, but I just wasn't. It certainly looks like a heckuva car, but it just somehow comes up a bit shy of being "all that". I do love a lot of the subtlety of the design and build, including the center console, side scoops, and front valence and...

    Concept only for right now... I'm thinking down the road when it's got a few door dings and the bumpers are pitted again.... you know like next year.:rolleyes:

    Wheels for my 1969 Fastback

    Yeah, it's nice when you've got a good reference point for the wheels your considering, but otherwsie I agree with others about doing photochops or getting renderings before buying. That's why I started doing photochops 4 years ago... just to try different wheels on my car. I did nearly a...

    BTW, here's a chop I did for my own car recently... I went the opposite direction... gold over black. Still looks good I think:

    Brian Chichoki's car is beautifully done! I love this shot: A great look to emulate for sure!

    Your version of photoshop probably has it... I'm using a low buck stripped down version that came with my scanner called Photoshop Elements. I've got a full version of PS but with the filters and plug-ins, I'm not patient enough to let it load up just to do quicky stuff that I can do with...

    BTW, I've gotta say I agree on the Mach wheels... they're the ones I've got on my '70 Mach.

    I use the "polygonal Lasso tool", which allows you to click a starting point, then click along the way to create the boundry in lots of little straight lines. For example, I must've clicked 25+ times just to trace the top edges of the fenders and door to create that boundry of the selection...

    Wheels for my 1969 Fastback

    It really depends on the look you want to achieve. Think very carefully about this before buying wheels! If you want a retro but updated look, then TT2s or even upsized Cragar s/s might be good. If you want the modern-classic look, then the 18" Magnums are very tasteful without being "retro"...

    That would be me... I think HenceForward did an excellent job, but here's my 2 minute version anyway: Hope this helps...

    Choose "unknown" and they might be able to tell you based on the plant and date when your car was manufactured.

    Warranty Plate

    Maybe we're not using the same terminology??? Are you referring to the VIN or just the warranty sticker? I assume you have the VIN (vehicle identification number), which should be rivetted to the driverside dash at the base of the windshield. It should also appear on the upper surface of the...

    Warranty Plate

    Marti report will have all that stuff, and more... http://www.martiauto.com/ BTW, in '70 Ford moved from plates to stickers, so if your car got repainted, the sticker probably got painted over.

    wtf vertical doors on 65-66?

    Yeah, I was just thinking '67-'73 cars maybe... I know they're already available for SN95 and later Mustangs. I don't think I've ever seen any on a II or Fox body, but I'm sure someone has done it. I think the problem in doing vertical doors on the '67-'73 cars would be that the doors weigh...
