I vote liberating some street signs for floorboards like the ole days. Cut the stop sign for the pan under the pedals haha
Just to make it clear on the new car, those pictures that Mike posted are not of the '83 t-top that I'm buying.I vote liberating some street signs for floorboards like the ole days. Cut the stop sign for the pan under the pedals haha
I've had others suggest I keep it looking like it does, except for a bad*ss drivetrain in it.Ya know....
A beat-to-death looking Mustang (83 at that) with no paint, crappy looking OEM style wheels, tore up interior, with modern driveline, breaks, and 400ish+ HP at the wheels with some sticky tires and ability to pull the fronts?
I'd start painting kill signs on the driver's side door.
Pfft,.....The car's been sitting in a junk yard in Oklahoma for how long?Just to make it clear on the new car, those pictures that Mike posted are not of the '83 t-top that I'm buying.
He's just a smart*ss, that's all. I'll just put a healthy run in his quarter panel when I paint it is all!
Tomorrow, I'll shove my camera underneath and get pictures of the floor.
I'll find out tomorrow there Mikey boy.Pfft,.....The car's been sitting in a junk yard in Oklahoma for how long?
You only think that picture is of a different car....

I've got $5 on being able to see the road through the passenger side floor board.Exactly. It's Oklahoma. Low humidity and no salt air from the gulf. I can drive up to Austin and find rust free cars.
Use that for the beer I'll be drinking in Birmingham in a month or so, OK?I've got $5 on being able to see the road through the passenger side floor board.
Yeah, me too Nick.Cant wait to see more of this car.
That is ultra beautiful!Here, look at this cookie cutter ride. Who gives a rats b-hole if somebody thinks something has been done too many times. If you like it, do it!!
I vote coyote swap with IRS!I don't know what this guys car has under the hood but it's super clean!

That would be really btchin' if I weren't a painter. I couldn't go out to it every morning seeing that. It would cause me to grind my teeth to nubs!
Thinkn' bout joining the IRS club, huh ? [emoji106]That is ultra beautiful!
I know that, like my red car, I'm going to do an updated version of the original color. So it's going to be a version of the dark blue that's on it. Ala @Boosted92LX 's new mustangdrool: ).
There are new four stage paints in blues out now, maybe one of those. They're hot colors, a bit of a PITA though.
I'm thinking, eventually, an IRS will be the way I go. I want to do minimal chopping on the body. My red car has one of the highest production numbers of a t-top (especially in it's original color), it felt OK cutting up the tubs. This one, after a soon to be ordered Marti report, will probably be less than ten produced. I have to admit, the engine bay will get smoothed though.
Maybe I'll be able to produce a sweet ride like that one, I hope so.
When it comes time to do my build on the blue car, I'll do a seperate thread for it. This thread will just be involved up to getting it running as a dd.
I want a coyote, but reading up on that ecoboost v6 has me all hot and bothered. I wish there was a production version of it in a coyote. That direct injection and all forged rotating assembly in a production engine is pretty hot! Imagine that in a v8!
No challenge at all, I don't want to do it!From what I understand, these kinds of builds are tougher body-wise than a lot of regular finishes. Repairing all the damage and keeping the patina while neutralizing all the rust... I think it might challenge even you.

A bit of a mix, @Noobz347 , you should like the hood:
That's the limit for photos. Got to like that floorboard on a t-top!
