Nels GT looks almost IDENTICAL to Tacobill's Stang. WOW
Yes, yes. You arean observant one! Thanks for your valuable input.


fairlane, I was actually hoping you'd come in and reply to that. Hahahha. You're like the custom paint & filling/welding expert around here. Lol!

Very nice....Any tip on how to fill in/cover up the small holes on the side for the emblems? $250 is what they are asking at the bodyshop for it....you got to be nuts.
Unfortuantely that price might be about accurate because of the task of either A) Repainting the whole fender or B), like fairlane said, blending the paint. Check around other bodyshops, though. See what the best is you can find.

Thanks everyone for the great feedback!

I think you may suprised at how sheap it is to have plastic molds made and casting of plastic is cheap, you can take some sculpey and push it into the holes to get a negative, or just free carve it via machinist wax, and send the mold off to a plasic injection molder, they will have a set up fee, often a few hundred bucks and most of those place will do smallish runs in any color desired... If your interested we can talk and I can take the measurments and do the carving...as thats one of my jobs

http://www.edinboromolding.com/?gcli...FQp7PAodqhFd4A,

or even better i can cast them in bronze and we an do it hat way, kind of a bigger pain with all of the labor involved...

Thanks for the kind offer! I've got a little too much on my plate at the moment, trying to manage my business and jumpstart an up-and-coming new business, while also trying to balance 'playtime' and working on the Mustang, etc..

Thank you though.

You could replace the fenders with V6 fenders that dont have badges for what they
want to weld and paint them.

No shops in my area would even do blending at all - for pretty much any cost.

P.S. - I forgot to mention thatthis antenna delete adds 40hp.
Lmao.

Cool man... I did a lot of in-house custom stuff on my Stang.
I think my 71 bullet style mirrors got me about 60 horses Those OEM ones were slowing me down big time.
