The Dreamsicle Build. (56k should probably not bother)

[5.Woahhh]

I guess because I have big plans for my car in the coming future I'd make one of these.

Background
This is my third and best mustang I've owned to date. My previous two met their end at the hand of some bad drivers who don't pay attention. Luckily I shopped smart and made money each time. After my old vert was it I saw this car on Corral. That weekend I flew down to FL and picked it up. The car had the same mods as my old vert so it worked out perfectly because I sold the vert as it sat.

The car didn't fair to well in her first winter here. Being my dd it was a task keeping her safe. I was re-ended while backing up and it was deemed 50/50. It wasn't to bad., just bent out of shape. Next while parked on campus (I leave it there when it snows because I live on a hill that never gets plowed.) I come back to see I was side swiped pretty bad.

I am picking the car up from paint today 4/23/10. Which is the reason I planning it's future.

Need some input. Should I go with the orange and black theme or Keep the orange and silver?

 

[uncltrvlnmatt]

Orange and black.

 

[5.Woahhh]

Orange and black.

That's what I am leaning towards. I can't seem to sell my wheels so I am going to paint them. Black with a chrome lip. I'll keep them as spares in the future.

Another vote for orange and black.

On the wheels, you should paint the inserts black and leave the faces and lips the way they are. Can tie in some black, but keep the wheel from becoming a black blob with a silver ring around it. I'm not a huge fan of black wheels if you couldn't tell and those wheels look really nice. What are they and are you running any spacers? I might have to get a set for the 67...

In the pictures theres a spacer. I took them off because they were too big and when I hit bumps the fenders chewed the tires. If I got them rolled they would of been fine.

Also I'm really not a fan of the wheels. I want to sell them so if you are interested PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I want to get rid of them for something else.

Also today I continued the slow black out of accessories. I painted the flaming pony black. I also painted the Billet gas cap black. I need to repaint it because it felt dry when I was going to put it on but it wasn't so there are some finger prints. It will do for the time being.

They'd be going on my 67 and its going to be somewhat of a show car so the bent lip and what not wouldn't work for me plus you're like forever and ever away from me. I had already looked at them but the lip is kinda meh for me.
