He said he wants it to stick out like the biggest sore thumb ever and we just came up with torch red, naturally. He asked if it's doable lol I didn't understand his skepticism so the next morning I had a gallon of glasurit d3 torch red ("colorado red") sitting on the table, that day it became official. I've got two SN95 projects we're working on right now, one we're working on a lot more than the other as one of them is my personal car and I just cant seem to get around to it >< I'll post another thread for what we've got going right now.I think I came up with like a million different purple references for this car lol purple people eater, purple drink, grape ape, atomic eggplant (stole that one from chicane's s351 project) etc. etc lol it was definitely more purple than blue that's for sure! It's not my cup of tea either but after seeing the car a few times in person the cars that still have factory scoops start to look a little awkward and not so fancy with the big plastic scoop Ford uses. I honestly hated the delete until I saw it red <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" /> but I might be a little biased ha! Also, given that we were told to take our time due to other cars being worked on at the same time (we're only a two man crew at the moment with side help when needed) from start to finish it took about 7 to 8 weeks and about an extra week to let the paint shrink so we can buff it out. Mind you we're not a bodyshop (not taking anything away from bodyshops but let's be honest here) so we didn't just slap the car together, we've even taken the time to go back, repair and repaint a few parts that we weren't happy with that no one otherwise notice but we knew of their existence and just couldn't let it get by us. From what the previous owner said the car made 750 on the dyno but I can't confirm that, the car needs to be retuned though and hopefully we can get that done before my buddy heads out to Reno with the car. Also, to everyone else I didn't quote, thank you very much for the compliments it makes our passion to work on these car that much greater! :thumbsup:</blockquote>
