Fox 1983 T-top Coupe - $1000 - New Buffalo Butt Beer

WTF.... 9 days to read a build thread?

Now what did I come in here for....


Oh yes. A random two-tone image:

Wheels are wrong and the stance is off but otherwise.... I like it.

Dave, have you found or do you have the side molding out of all those cars?

When I read a build thread I like to go through it slowly to understand what the op is doing and hopefully why he's doing it.

If you mean on my blue and red cars, yes, I have the moulding for both.

@Davedacarpainter

I know you have paint schemes in mind already... Just wanted to remind you how sharp that Ford Metallic Grey is, even if you don't like it as a main color. Way better in person than in pictures.

Of course, I was giving you crap about the build thread. It's a Doozy. lol

Ever wonder what those Turbocoupe wheels would look like on coupe.....probably not but meh not bad

 

[RaggedGT]

Where'd you go Dave?

 

[Davedacarpainter]

I'm right here. Not a lot happening with the '83 at the moment.

I took my son Andy with me last Friday to see the car. I should have got a picture of him sitting in it.

I finish paying for it the Thursday before I head out to Mike's.

So, you'll see some real progress on it in about 3.5 weeks, Hopefully it'll be driving in about five weeks.

 

[Davedacarpainter]

I'm actually going to be spending time with Doby for the next couple weeks. Hopefully I'll have my parts back from powder coating tomorrow.

I think I'm kind of settling on Kona Blue for the '83. The trim color will be a surprise!

I've tried to go back and see what it is that you "need help deciding" since that is your last suffix change.

How is it I can offer the benefit of my vast wisdom w/ all of my witty critiques if I don't know what it is you need help deciding on?.......

I'm a fan of Kona blue. When I was contemplating a color change it was #1 on the list.

There was a guy on here that did a cobalt blue on a notch and looked stellar

Pretty color, I'm going to go with kona because it's real close to the original color.

Kona is a pretty sweet color. There are a looooot of GT 500s out there that wear it. Never saw one I didn't drool over.

Thank you Mike. I got a really hearty chuckle out of that. Haha!

You're welcome. I strive to be one, if not both things for this place.

The dumbest Mf'r here.

Or the funniest.

I'm already well on my way to being at least the stupidest,.....Who else would ruin three hoods chasing after some dumb assed "vision" instead of just buying a 99.00 bolt on scoop (like I did with the red car)?.

I've come to find out,......book larnin' ( as in what it takes to be a BMW Genius) is easy.

The other part I'm obviously lacking,...(Street smarts) is hard to come by.
