Ok, so im really getting bugged by the fact that i dont have time to get the car done and painted, but work has really picked up at my shop and deadlines have to be met... so does anyone think i made a big mistake by even attempting to fix this car up? and dont say yes cause its a six. lol, because in about two weeks or so it will have the blower and cam in it.

When it gets down to it, all that really matters is if you like it! Are you happy with the work you have done & will do? I've never done stuff so others would like it, won't start now. I happen to really like the changes you have made! Wasn't too fond of that hood & I hated the tails!! I say keep up the hard work.

Taillights looked gross, same with headlights. I forget who owns it, but someone here has 1 badass V6 that has a SC on it making like 400hp! Keep going with it, once it's painted it will look 100000000x better!

wel thanks... lol, i like it but it just seems like its becomming a drawn out process, it'll look good when its done, but im more of a modified stock ford parts kinda guy, im doing a cobra bumper,and s281 wind, the only thing on the car that isnt ford stock is the hood, but i was just curious if people thught i was going in the right direction, or should have left it.

i hope, lol... i think the little things i did will really finish it off... the plan right now, is im using a 95 ford f150 green, black rear/mustang letters, s281, cobra bumper, and these pics are older but the front is lower, no isos, shaved fenders... but even the small stuff like the smoked pony change the front view alot more that it was, so im happy,

It's very hard to make your Mustang unique! I'm doing small stuff on mine as well. Just want it to be not like the rest of them. All that matters is you are happy with it. Your $!!

i know lol... but its free! lol i just cant decide between, white pearl ghost flames, two tone, or keeping it solid... thats another reason why its taking so long to finish, because i keep changing my mind.

You ought to try to make up your mind when 1/2 of your brain is mashed potatoes!! Took me about 5 years to come up with a scheme!! As soon as I bought it, I knew it had to be repainted. I went through about 7-10 different ideas. I saw one & I stopped thinking up new ways. I took that as a sign that was it. Still not done even close to how I wanted it. It will go back in for round II next year!

Your preaching to the choir about not being able to come up with something.

I don't think you did a bad thing unless your one of those guys that drives his car in primer/gelcoat for years. Car would look great w/ some paint and maybe a set of floor mats? Your poor carpet looks dirty as hell.

You are definitely going in the right direction...I think you should stick with the solid green as opposed to ghost flames or a 2tone. Solid color cars are clean and classy.
