I did all the body work myself even filling the bumper in and removing the Ford trunk emblem... I had no dents so that was a plus... I paid $811 for the paint and for the painter to shoot it.

Also I tried to work on filling in the side reflectors but if you look at our bumpers they have a funky shape and a funky feel to them at those reflectors... To many edges, it's kind of hard to describe. Anyhow I couldn't get it smooth and proper looking so scrapped all the work I did on them...

that's impressive. Did the $811 include the engine bay? Must have been a lot of work to get it all ready for paint.

Outside of course, door jambs, trunk lid and inner trunk, under hood and the edges leading up to the engine bay... The motor will be pulled this winter for mods and then it will painted...

sharp car


you think about haveing the recessed part of your wheel painted black to make the spokes stand out a little more.. might look cool

Let me start off by saying that you have one of the nicest SN-95 mustangs i have ever seen. Those wheels/paint go PERFECT together. I am in love. The hood and front bumper look awesome with no pony in the grill, and no fogs. I like the "stang" rear bumper, and i also like the lack of side skirts.

To answer your questions, i think red reflectors, and red rear brake light would look best, keep it clean.

Now all thats left to do is POLISH YOUR TIPS!!! Those tips look horrible. They kill the rear of the car. Take some #00 Steel Wool, and Simple Green, and scrub all the gunk off (tar, grime, ect.) if it all doesnt come off SCRUB HARDER!! Then follow with some Mother's Mag and Alumn. Polish and they'll blind you Good Luck and again awesome looking car

looks great man, looks like ur missing the sideskirts too.

I like it alot. Nice choice in hood/bumper . I hate to say this but I think 96+ tails might look better on there...not that the 94/95 look bad or anything.

Way to go!

holy crap man....that looks freakin sweet as hell....i was also thinkin about those wheels along with my 9 billion other choices, but now they are outta the question cause i got a frame to pull out......anyway that color is pure sex man, and those wheels go GREAT with it......IMHO going along with wut matt said, instead of polishing the stock tips (i assume cause they look sorta small) get some nice like 14" long 3" dia. chrome tips from jegs, or summit, or other places....they are like $20-$30 each and will clean up the back end nice....also get the stainless bumper inserts...they will go well with the wheels, and the nice new tips you will have

I filled in the MU and the GT with bondo and reinforced it with fiberglass... Even with the space between NG GT, Ford made the whole phrase centered so it worked out perfectly!

I don't believe its like that on my body style

I totally agree. the car look good, but the side skirt delete isn't doing it for me, but that's just my opinion. Why did you delete them???

I just noticed the side skirts were gone. Get those back up there...

The car should look awesome when you're done.

Very good job!

I like how it is unique, but not goofy

BTW, you gonna put the reflectors back in the rear bumper, or just ride with the holes?
