Yeah, that's a very pretty blue. I would get rid of the white on the hood though. Just my opinion.

Just be careful, the cops also give you a little special attention.
That can go both ways. I've made a couple of cop friends with the mustang. Lots of them--at least where im from--are into to the classics.

I think it had just to much to do with me being a 16 year old and having that car than anything else. 2 years of driving in highschool i got pulled over 5-6 times all within a block or 2 of the school. 2 years after highschool and i havent been pulled over once.

I'm still putting my foot in her, they just arent (_|_)holes anymore

Nice car! I can't wait to finish my 65' GT so I can get those looks. But one thing you said was wrong. actually the best looks to get are from those kids driving their little Hondas that know they couldn't even compete with you.

It doesnt stop them from trying and usually they have underdeveloped driving skills and that makes them more of a hazard because they might lose control of all those 90 horses they have underhood and run into you or otherwise damage your ride. They will still try when you are driving an obvious drag car, and they think they have won when you have let off and they go flyin by. Like a 20 car length lead can be lost that easily...

I hate idiot kids who think that civic is fast, and they feel a need to prove it to anyone with a V8.


6t9, the only suggestions I would make is to fog the wheelwells black, and paint the rear drum black as well. The grey in the wheelwell just looks dirty and its really tough to make it look better unless you just rattle can or chassis black the area. its just a detail item, nothing spectacular or urgent to do..

Sweet ride, you have done well...
