Just some more pics after paint work!

Little by little, I've been doing things like new wheels/tires, cleaning, having someone on here getting it running, by rebuilding the rear end, installing fuel pump, fuel injectors, etc. It has been on the road for the first time these past few years! Yesterday, I had someone come over to re-paint the bumpers, take care of some light rust on the back window hoop, and FINALLY take care of this over spray junk that had been all over the car for probably 9 years now. I think the paint is fantastic for being 9 years old.

I have more work to do, like lowering it, and brakes, etc, but here are some shots of the past few days.









more pics below....

Re: Just some more pics after paint work!

thanks! I have never run wider than a 255 on this car because I didn't know it was possible. Then I found the pro stars which are one of my faves with a wider tire and thought I'd give it a try.

Re: Just some more pics after paint work!

If you still got some of your blue paint you should throw a couple coats over your orange marker lights... Or even thin it out in your clear and dsut them with blue to make them disappear, but still show some light through


Great looking car btw

With a ZZ4 and a procharger, you might even be able to beat the new 5.0s.

It is funny because when I got that, I was 19. The only 5.0's running around were the 87-93's. I did it because my best friend had one of them, and was jabbing him with it. Fast forward over a decade later, it takes on a WHOLE new meaning. I may want to be careful with who sees it now I am sure I may be able to do decent against them ... so long as they don't have a supercharger themselves!

Go for it dude! I actually just went to the mall in the 90's and had it custom made. I saw another one years back: Mustangs are Great! [top] I just ate one! [bottom]

Re: Just some more pics after paint work!

Very nice...! I have a '91 RS wearing Ultra Blue Metallic (WA9591). I've been looking for the Z-28 wing to add as well as the stripes and cowl hood. Is it a 2" cowl? The Sunoco hoods are nice too. I do have the Weld ProStars though.

Re: Just some more pics after paint work!

If I recall correctly, I believe this is a 3" harwood. I bought it about 9 years ago or so. I always dreamed of a hi rise spoiler, 3" cowl hood, stripes, etc. I think it looks right on these cars!

I totally agree, 3rd Gens were made for cowl hoods.

Re: Just some more pics after paint work!

Any issues with the fiberglass cracking? I'm going back and forth on whether or not to go fiberglass or steel.

Yeah, really frustrating - but that's how it goes. I am running out of patience with it, but it isn't like I need it drivable anytime soon.
