After much debate and lengthy time off from the car scene I'm going to get myself into a fun car this spring. In February of this year I bought an 82 Mustang that was a rolling pile of fail. It didn't run, didn't stop, looked like crackheads had lived inside and had only one thing going for it: the ebrake didn't work and it could easily be pushed off of a cliff.
Since February it now has clean interior (headliner, seats, wheel, hurst shifter and a new handle - thanks mike), runs well and stops. I also slapped a rat-rod style paint job on it to keep it safe and I thought looked pretty cool.
Plans are to:
Get an official paint job (I would like opinions on color)
5 lug swap
CCW wheels (fat meatz)
Flared fenders (already have a preform kit)

Flared fender kit I have and CCW's will look something like this:

I'm going to have the CCW's be gunmetal with polished lips. I can't decide on what color I want to make the car...
I'm thinking a purple, satin white (black trim/accents) or satin grey. What do you guys think?
