Default 73 mach 1, almost finished...

closer and closer to being complete, finally got around to getting the anti-glare black paint mixed up and shot, searched and searched and finally just got black and added the flattening agent to it myself, got it on the 2nd mix and love it. all i need now is the correct mach 1 grill and nose trim, and a dash pad and she is finally ....done. =) its been too long in the works, but iam enjoying it every minute i drive.

Beautiful, when it comes to paint Im stuck between jet black and blue, if some one could show me a nice shade of a darker blue then it just might convince me

Looking good. The blacked out hood added a lot to the car.

Talking

The more I see of them the more I'm starting to like the 71-73 Mustangs. Those long sweeping hoods and the sloped backs look great. The green with that flat black looks great. I can't wait to have my car painted. I'm trying to decided between a Dark Candy Apple Red Metallic or the Vista Blue on the newer mustangs.

Having said that the original color was the non-metallic Candyapple Red.

That green looks awesome on your car. Congrats on approaching the finishline. (Till you move it further down with modifications or changes)

I am going with indigo Blue, from the 06/07 Chevy trucks (I think), waiting on an acquaintance to email me the paint code, go check it out its unbelievable.
