Miller Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 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) heads/cam/intake http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=794&pictureid=6734 http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=794&pictureid=6736 http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=794&pictureid=6737 http://sphotos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/330789_462884813731154_1828037804_o.jpg http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=794&pictureid=6735 http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=24&pictureid=5851 Flared fender kit I have and CCW's will look something like this: http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b80/shoisfast/mikeskillingstad1.jpg http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q181/horsewidower/Late%20Build%20Photos/Lipstick%20on%20the%20pig/P1020934.jpg 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? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have enough money (to waste) on making that go fast. I will keep that color in mind I'm going to try and photoshop them and get a feeler. Can't wait to see this thing with the fender flares! Me too. I haven't seen any fox in person with these done yet. Said no one ever :gabe: :no: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller Posted February 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) I've resurrected the turd and began on the interior plastic and vinyl. Had years of smoke and cigarette marks on it (who throws a lit butt on the dash?) I'm going to try restoring the dash before replacing just because I found some cool stuff on youtube. I've used some "plastic welding" kit with some success and it's fun to mess with. Here's what I pulled out of the car: http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=794&pictureid=6942 Welded and cleaned up. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=794&pictureid=6941 This is one piece I did last week from start to finish. Welded a crack on it, sanded lightly, primed, painted, sanded and painted. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=794&pictureid=6944 Edited March 2, 2013 by Miller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Other Nick Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Gotta love the 4 eyes. I think factory mineral grey. Black wheels with polished lip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICEMAN1647545504 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I like it man... With some 315's or 335's on the back, it will look sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Orange Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Reef blue, scrap those flares and go with Capri fenders. Much more subtle and you can still wedge some tire under them (maybe not 315's up front though). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
