I am thinking 1.5 gallons should definitely do the car, the more experienced painters will pitch in. By the way, 3 quarts is 3/4 of a gallon. Unless you meant to mix 1:1 with thinner
The rims were OEM on the 2005 thru 2009. Paint dealer said the PPG paint is a 1:1 mix. 3 Qts should do it. I have a sun roof which takes up half the roof. My wife wants me to paint the rims using black trim and keeping each spoke with the center the silver they come with. Have the center spinners with Mustangs. Larry

I am looking for a 4bbl carb. Better to buy one from someone who needs to get rid of one then from a bog store. Also have a rear louver, aftermarket one, not OEM. Larry
OEM rear louvers are like gold, hard to find, I snatched up a hatch with them still on it so I got everything factory, been looking forever!
I'm kinda on the fence when it comes to used carbs, are you looking for something oem like the holley unit or something newer?

I have an OEM louver for my Pace Car unless I get an outstanding offer. Anyway, just looking for something simple, like a Holly 650 or there abouts. Again, only building a show car and fun driver. Next project follows., Larry
New project. Starting to repair and paint all the trim pieces. Starting with the center spoiler. I want to put a third brake light . Attached, find my two options. One is full length, the other is the center section only. I will be cutting the top section and placing the light bar in the spoiler and finishing to look as OEM as possible. I prefer the center only but just in case the world is saying something else, I though I would ask.
I have a three piece pace car spoiler, I mocked it up on my 89 gt, I like that style spoiler but it just didn't look right on an aero nose car.
I’m gonna reserve judgement on this till you get it done, but in my mind i’m thinking it’s gonna look like a double sided taped on accessory from AZ.
The cheese factor that will add to the rear of the car won’t be worth the perceived safety it’ll add.
* Then you’ll have those holes to patch should you change your mind.
At least thats how I think it’ll be. Could be wrong.
A third brake light don’t care where it is on the back of the car. If I was doing it, it’d be inside the back glass as high mounted as possible so that it catches the driver behind you right in his line of sight. There’s probably some kit out there that adheres to the glass from the inside that will do that that doesn’t require drilling holes in a 79 rear spoiler.
