My Blank Canvas...pics

[CJMcLean]

I've been keeping up with this thread, you're doing a great job.

Thanks CJ . I just got these to finish off the deep dish Bullitt wheels. More retro cool:

Those darn rear rotors were supposed to be here by now so I can put all the pieces together...ARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice job 007. The chamois interior is interesting.

The Fang,

A co-worker just bought a new Mercedes. It's interior is all black except for the seats and door panel inserts are a tan color a little lighter than mine. I got to thinking that some Ford exec probably has a Benzo and liked the color combo

While the interior is not my cup of tea I'm on the To-Each-His-Own bandwagon.
I have a suggestion though try to get the steering wheel, E-brake handle, and shift boot to match. I think it will add that extra touch and exclusivity. All in all nice mods though. I just wish I could afford to do mine all at once. I hopefully will be adding the alum. DS to my sig soon. Expecting it Tues. or Wed. Happy modding.

And welcome.

Hi wotfr,

I can't afford it either. That's why I jumped at this deal with the Ford dealer allowing me to create a package with California Concepts and roll it all into the new car loan. I've started to mod cars before and never got them finished. I want this one to different.

Now you're talking. Those really do look retro and the Steeda ones look ***** in comparison. Nice to see you didn't take second best and went for the improved look. It's tempting me now.

Those do look better than the Steeda ones! Nice job 2007gt!

The time is NOW! I finally got all my parts together and dropped the car off at California Concepts. Here's "My Blank Canvas" outside the shop. The trunk is filled with cross drilled brake rotors, Cervini billet grill, and pony center caps for the new wheels and acorn lug nuts and locks. California concepts got the rest of the parts:

Mike, my advisor at California Concepts, has been great. He's really interested in my project and showed me the wheels, tires, spoiler etc that I chose for my package. He's offered to take pictures of the transformation and I'll share them here.

One last look at "My Blank Canvas" soon to be, well, my dream come true. When I get her back it will be time to get under the hood

Looking good!

Are you on www.ca-mustangs.com ? It's a really good group of people with vendor support from Apex Motorsports in Santa Clara and Red*Star (I believe they're near Sac or in the valley...) they may have some services that you'd be interested in.

White S197s w/ blue stripes = IMO

I've heard of Apex and they are supposed to be very good. Thanks for the link. I'll check it out

That new interior color reminds me of baby poop.


On a side note, i'm looking into that grille but I want it in black not chrome...damn I cant find it anywhere!

 

[Umbra_Lupis]

great looking car, especially the interior!

Yummy I might be taking mine back to California Concepts for the side stripes and stripes down the bumpers like yours. I couldn't decide so I thought I just add them later if I wanted to. You have a very nice car

Thanks! The whole paint process took almost 2 weeks. They sand down all the panels and repaint them. The work is so good, that you can't feel any rise where the stripes are painted on. Good luck on your project. Here is a pic of the rear:

Painted stripes is the only way to go. I will be saving up for my hood and bumper and have the stripes painted at the same time.

That's it my friend. I was so impressed. That's why I chose them....I can't wait

Mike at California concepts took some pictures of the work being done. I've asked him to email them to me ASAP. I've taken a dozen pictures of my finished car and have them on Photo Bucket waiting to post. I also have a Hurst shifter ordered and some billet aluminum interior trim pieces. .
