Good job! I liked everything except the reflector tape. Also you might want get get some clear corner lenses, they would really look good with what you've done.

looks sweet... I would give them to a bodyshop for a day and have them paint the buckets body color!

I only wish that the reflective tape portions had LED's or bulbs so they also worked as blinkers! I've got a set lying around too that could be fun to tinker with.


I also agree with you about the Challenger. Before I bought my mustangs I was restoring a '65 Coronet. Then I realized, as cool as the coronet is, mustangs provide 95% of the fun at a fraction of the cost.
(anybody want to buy a restored '65 coronet??)

Seems like you really put a lot of time into your project, and it shows. Nice job.

Thank you everyone for the comments. Ironically it didn't take that long. I probably have about 3-4days invested into "actual" labor. The rest was on waiting for shipping for some items. I'm in between about paiting them the body color. I mean I don't think it looks bad, I just don't think it fits me. Cause trying to keep things retro to the originals, the old mustangs used to have black or chrome buckets.... eh, its all in personal tastes really.

But I think I will have them paited professionally, satin black that is. Cause my Krylon special, might look nice for now, but I don't think it'll hold up to hand washing, let alone stone chips & etc......

Very nice. I should get photoshop one of these days. I like both looks. But I think I'll probably stick to the black for now. I can always change it down the road........
