pitpup Posted October 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Stan, hope you don't mind (I'm not great in Photoshop) but I took the liberty of playing with your ride a bit -- sort of a blend of styles -- though she looks awesome just as she is ;-) -Dan Good work, Dan. But I hope you won't be offended if I keep 'er the way she is. FYI, I'd thought about the center fogs mod but decided to scrap it when I blew off the 10" LeMans stripes for the Mach 1 look, which had the fogs on the outside. You may remember a chop I uploaded weeks ago where someone had touched up my ride when photographed in front of a school. Here it is again: There's just so much you can do with these cars. And Flash... be nice! The man worked hard to throw the 'Deuce' together... Stan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan <lol> not in the least, Stan ...your ride is gorgeous just as is -- was just playin'. Ford's 'stang motto is so right-on: "A Steed for Every Need!" That Mach is a nice modern interpretation, right down to the historically-correct lettering -- looks like it rolled off a factory line! . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe someone went and added the 'Twister' graphic to the rear quarter panel, too. Funny how you have an eye for certain details. It looked good either way. <lol> not in the least, Stan ...your ride is gorgeous just as is -- was just playin'. Ford's 'stang motto is so right-on: "A Steed for Every Need!"

That's funny. I ordered a Kodak Z650 two days ago. How did you know? LOL! I will not be at the 10/22 show as I will be in NC. I WILL be at the 10/14 show in Moorestown, NJ. My last hurrah of the year and my first judged show with the new look. Should be fun. :bandance: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitpup Posted October 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Very hot. Thank you! Now...may I suggest a black Shelby rear spoiler?..... Ummm, NO! I don't want people to think I'm a poser. Thought about the black wing, but in the end, decided it just wasn't for me. Good suggestion, though! I want people to think about the '69 Machs but don't want to do a tribute car, as much as I love them (and as much as they have influenced me). I want this puppy to stand on its own. Here's a shot of the front splitter when we 'dry fitted' it the morning I dropped it off. It just doesn't work for me. Now imagine the back of the car with a black wing... you get the idea! Here's a shot I really like because you see the front of the car in the foreground and the back of the car in the glass doors behind the car... Who's the picture whore NOW?

RUFDRAFT Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 I wasn't thinking of any sort of cloning - I was just thinking about a little black in back to balance out the black in the front! Where did you buy the front splitter? I like it. Not overdone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did you buy the front splitter? I like it. Not overdone. I have always wanted to leave the wing orange, BUT! I did think about the honeycomb black out panel that fits nicely between the tail lights. That would give me some black in back (evil twist, eh?). I decided against this for two reasons. 1- The honeycomb would be a b!tch to keep clean. I know I could paint it or use a different piece that is NOT honeycomb which brings me to reason 2- The side stripes fade from jet black to all orange... or, as you move to the back of the car, the black sort of 'disappears'. (See qtr panel behind doors.) So it kinda fits that theme*. * Justify! Stan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pitpup Posted October 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Okay! Just one of my frequent pointless thoughts! And you bought the splitter where?..... Damn, I AM losing it, lol. I saw your question and forgot to tell ya. Sorry. It's from Steeda. It's the fiberglass unit, NOT the ABS. Their website is confusing. The ABS unit is the original and is much bigger. I like their new fiberglass splitter much better. here's some black in back Very nice. Are you leaving the faux gas cap off of the car? Actually, it would look good either way, fruitjr67.

68fastback Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 here's some black in back That's very different -- nice look! How did you black-out the lights? Dows that panel betw the lights cover the filler? . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pitpup Posted November 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Well, it looks like I've turned 180 degrees and decided to go with the Honeycomb panel (Silverhorse Racing) after all. A local guy here had his for sale for $75 (Normally $150 & s/h) so I picked it up and put it on thinking... I can always take it off and sell it if I don't like it. Weather here has been poopy, so here's a quick shot (morning rain no extra charge) to show you how 'Back In Black' looks today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grabber Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 It looks nice PP. Great price on the piece. Why did the guy sell it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitpup Posted November 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 It looks nice PP. Great price on the piece. Why did the guy sell it? You know, Rob. I didn't ask. Didn't care. It looks brand new. I do know that he did black out the tail of his GT after removing this. He went with a smooth, flat black look. It adds about 3rwhp so what do I care?

pitpup Posted November 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Help me here - How does that add HP? It's honeycomb shaped, ergo it attracts bees. This causes large swarms of bees to accumulate near the rear of the car... and reduce drag as the air flows over the swarm... Ummm, am I going to fast for you there, Rob? :lol2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
