Def what my lx will be painted. Thanks for showing it to me!

Now I just have to start working on this thing again..

 

[93project]

thanks again guys! I wouldn't paint the fender sripes on... it was gonna be vinyl since the beginning. still not sure about it... as for the Scott rod panels.. I dont have pics of the install but they're very easy to do. Just hold them in place and have a buddy drill through them and pop in the rivets. The only mod I had to make was cutting a bit off the driver side to allow access to clutch cable bracket. I'll take some more pics of them when I get the car back. It's at the body shop for a last buff and to clean up a few minor issues left

Hate, the cowl, hate the red interior accents, not diggin the carb or black engine bay, though the bay can always be painted later , but the rest of them are

The body work came out top notch, I'm even digging the GT side skirts with the cobra pieces. Really surprised how well it came out.

Maybe I missed it, whats the engine combo?

The cowl has always been a love it or hate it thing. I get that a lot. But I like it so that's what matters. As for interior, again, I like it. Didn't want just a black interior. New mustangs have color inside so why not our foxes? Carb? Too bad. My efi harnesses were fubar and this is not a daily so..... Last, i have a black engine bay because i did the nody eork last. Had it been done first. I wouldve sprayed the bay too.
Either way, great to see you again on here shaolin. I was actually looking for you to ask about your door panels when I found out u got banned....

Oh, dont defend your choices its your car and it makes you happy. I was simply giving my opinion, car looks good either way.

As for my door panels, well, they're like that because its in all short accounts a race car and I only made them for the most weight saving possible while still passing the 90% interior rule. As well as wanting as much room for my monkey arms as possible with the door bars. The street car will have standard door panels with plane jane arm rests.

I am actually liking the flat black panels. How hard were they to rivet in? Was the engine still in?

 

[93project]

Its all good shaolin! Nice to have u back!

The panels were an easy install. Engine was in and car was mobile. I waited on installing these until the car was painted. Didn't want red on them...

Very sharp car!

Edit: Where do you buy these?

"I just installed my rivet in Scott rod panels"

 

[93project]

Aluminum Engine Bay Panels, Rear Seat Deletes, Door Panels, and more for your Mustang very cool stuff, very nice Guy. I haven't installed the interior piece yet. Its a radio, AC delete plate. My stereo is already relocated to the dash where the AC vents were and the new panel will give me a strong place to mount three 2" phantoms...
