Mr.Bolt-on's 5.0

[Mr.Bolt-on]

This is my Kona Blue 1995 GTS, that I painted back in July of 2009. This car was originally DFG, but I decided to completely change the cars looks.

Mr.Bolt on, you need to bolt on some lowering springs...

 

[Javi]

i likey,
but why dont the stripes dont flow past the hood vents and yeah some springs are needed....

 

[Mr.Bolt-on]

I know, I need lowering springs... It has the 4x4 look. Well, the reason my stripes don't go over the hood vents is because I couldn't decide whether to go straight as usual, or just go over the vents... so I otped to go around the vents. I figured... why not just try it?

More pics! I like what you did with the stripes.

 

[Mr.Bolt-on]

More pics on the way... here is the rear.

 

[Mr.Bolt-on]

They aren't the best pics, but hopefully I can gather some better ones later.

very nice...love the bumper! however i feel that vibe where the car says LOWER ME PLEASE

 

[bottlefed97]

Nice car.

I never understood why people change everything on the outside of the car to look real nice, and save lowering the car for last. Doesn't make sense to me lol.

 

[CompOrangeSN95]

I have to agree with ^^ awesome car but really really needs to be closer to the ground

Didn't want the stripes right down to the bottom in the back?

I love the stripes all the way down the ABC bumper, I thought for a second that you did it on a chin spoiler till I took a closer look.

The hood gives me a good look at what I will have a conflict with. My stripes will pass about 2-3inches into my new cobra hoods scoops and I will most likely go right through them and down the bumper up to the mach 1 chin.

Are your stripes painted also?

Hello Scott, My name is also Scott, and my previous SN95 looked almost just like yours...

These pictures are from 2005, and the way these stripes were put on, are what inspired me to do exactly the same thing to my current ride.

As you can see I had the cobra hood, and mach 1 chin spoiler.

I didn't paint this car, but whoever the painter was that did it ( I know them, I just can't remember) stopped the stripe right before the crease in the bumper at the bottom. I decided to just break the stripe on my car there as well. Plus these stripes are a family tradition for me, My dads mustang has them, my sisters has them, and my uncle's 1965 fastback has them... ( by the way my uncle just recently got his 1965 mustang put in the Modified Mustangs and Fords magazine.)

I know that the snakes bother some people on here, but they are not mustang snakes, but Torino Cobra eblems... double whammy for misbadging I know, but it's not your usual badges.

Also, I'll probably start a new thread, and show ya'll the rest of the garage, my crusty 1969 firebird ( that's hopefully about to get sold... I was way over my head when I got it), my dad's SN95 GT, and his 1971 fastback torino... that's being completely restored.

Now to answer your question Untame-d... I painted the stripes on with the basecoat Kona Blue, then I clear coated over the stripes when I cleared the whole car... and yes I was debating on whether or not to just go ahead and order some lowering springs. I've already got tockico blue's, and I was thinking the matching ford springs would do the job... plus they only cost $165 for a whole set of 4 springs new. Well, either I get springs or lower control arms.

looks nice man.
I like the blue.

Thanks for the replies everyone, and Dalamar I'm glad I chose the ABC exclusive bumper, because it really looks good. Yours is the main reason I have mine.
