Progress Thread "Rising from Ashes 9" 04 Mach 1 build

Some late friday night graphics work. If there is one thing I hate doing myself is the graphics. Unfortunately, I’m perfectionist, so I only want me doing them. Once again the car is a Mach 1 and completely finished up….for now.

All I can say is: "you must be REALLY skinny to get into that thing" But the stripes/graphics look good!

Yeah, there might be a speck of dust or piece of lint somewhere under there. :jester:

Heck, might well change it up a bit and take the car to the Rod Run

We all know stickers and emblems make them much faster! Looks too nice to drive.

The next phase. Stripped and welded up 8.8.
Shaved the quad shock brackets off
Like all mine…powdercoated then built with 31 spline trac loc, strange axles and 4.10 gears. Just need to finish the housing cover and throw this thing in.

I like all your cars and builds but I REALLY like this one. Comp orange is one of my favorites. Nice car and great work, as always.

Thanks! I feel the same way. This car has always been one of my favorites. Best color and best hood of any new edge. Add the best bumpers and its hard to get much better. Hard to believe but I’ve owned for 12 yrs now.

Had to move an engine out of the garage so Mach 1 got a little outside time. First pics Ive taken of the whole car with the shaved bumper/cobra trunk I did.
