Default sheetmetal ordered

Just finished ordering the sheetmetal for the Mach. The total came to just under $1200.00 including freight. I decided to buy from NPD after doing some research, the consensus seemed to be that they had the best quality panels.

A driver door shell, outer wheelhouses, qtr skins, trunk drops, battery apron, driver full floor pan, toe boards, driver rear pan, passy front pan and a driver seat pan. It's amazing what you find when you strip a car and blast it. [:@]

I 'm thinking along the lines of mostly original with some performance improvements. The biggest change will be swapping the FMX for a 5-speed. I'm on the fence on color, the car was originally Silver Jade. I'm open for any suggestions.

I love the look of a Raven Black Mach with red side stripes, I just think it looks gorgeous. The engine is a 351W with shaker.

You got a beautiful Mach there JBrad, a big block to boot. [8D] Glad we agree on color.
