they seriously do not do the car justice... it looks so much meaner and more aggressive, and cleaner now that it's not gloss green/sanded green/white/red/yellow/black anymore. too bad i have to put a little more putty here and there, but it's finally coming together!

thanks, guys, it's freakin awesome to watch the car transform!

i know i want some type of graphic or stripe, but no rally/shelby stripes. the ghosting sounds like good idea, though.

RAM, looks good, keep it primer, lol! Can't believe I am saying it but even the tri-bars look good.

Are you still going to paint it black with the orange stripe package you came up with? That is the only way to go in my opinion. I will probably have to say it will be one of the top 94-95 lookers on stangnet if it comes out like the mock-ups look.

thanks, clark--like nik, coming from you it is definately a compliment.

hehe, the tri-bars are going w/in the next couple of weeks. i'm getting an awesome deal on 2 pairs of bullitts for an unbelievable price, so they'll be going on the car soon.

yes, it looks like i'm still going w/ the scheme uneverkno chopped up for me. i want a classic/"boy racer" type look and have always liked the graphics that come down the side of the fenders like the old boss's and mach1's. i've seen it on a couple foxes and new-edges and like it a lot, so hopefully it will look just as good on our body style.

i'm not gonna work on the car for another couple of days--i'm really enjoying having the car look as good as i hoped it would--it's gonna be even better with actual paint and completed body work! what i'm hoping to do is putty it all out again in one day (i'll be using a different type this time--not as hardcore as the first round) and prime it again soon after. either way, being able to kinda enjoy the car w/ the kit on and monotoned is motivation to get the final work done and get it sprayed.

here's to the final push

the two-tone look is awesome, i like it a lot... just not on a mustang, really. it looks awesome on trucks/suv's, and i also like how GM did it w/ some of the f-bodies.

Looks great Paul! I'm definitely looking forward to the finished product.

Will you eventually install some foglights? They will make a heck of a lot of diff.

Good luck with the project.

Looks kick ass man. I like the body kit picks. I never thought that rear looked that good but you are making me change my mind about it. Also, I gotta see better pics of those headlights. Thanks
