Lookin' good! What shade of red is that?

[BIG-MAC]

That looks awesome!

Thats peeeerty.

That is a very nice shade of red. Going to be a sweet looking ride when you get it done.

68keyblr, it's funny that you of all people ask me that question. I have photos of your ride on my computer desktop. The color is actually Medium Red. I was going to go Vintage but the color is pretty dark. I didn't want to go too red or too dark. Medium Red, hence the name, is right in the middle.

I'm going to also go with three strips, Wim. white. I'm in a fraternity and the three strips and the two colors have a lot of meaning for us.

Glad you guys like. I'll post more over the next few weeks as the strips, dash and engine bay are painted.

It brings a tear to my eye...

It's so beautiful...

Now comes the fun part of putting it together

Thanks Tim. I cried a little too when I walked into the booth for the first time. LOL.

I thought that color was called "arrest me red". I know a lot of people have red and I think it is for only one reason - great color for a mustang! It looks like your painter did a great job of color sanding to remove orange peel, either that or he is one heck of a paint shooter!
Nice Job - get off the net and reassemble that puppy! Be sure to tape up areas that might get bumped during the reassembly! Do not ask me how I know, I would be too embarassed to tell you!

Wow - I'm flattered!

Definately keep those pics coming! I put a single ding on mine during reassembly - and I cried for days Be *Careful* and take ALL precautions during reassembly!

Can't wait to see it finished

y not paint the engine compartment?? it looks like it might need it? just easier when u have the engine and everything out....just my 2 cents

 

[19simmons65]

Good points all. Matt this is just the first step. We still have to paint the engine bay and dash-semi gloss black. Then we're going to paint the stripes. On Saturday I'm going to work with the painter to get the strip measurements, etc.
