Today the Paxton Supercharger for the 65/66 Mustangs went up $1,000! Ouch. That means with labor the Novi 1200 now runs over $5,000.

Also, I need your opinions. I had the "Paxton" signature background painted black on the bonnett. It can be removed - but I think I really like it. By the way it is painted with engine block paint so it will not fade or crack.

Would you please give me your opionions... thank you--

Non-painted vs. Painted:

I'm a fan of the "less is more" approach.



When are you going to post some nasty burnouts of that thing?

 

isnt your entire engine bay chrome?[8D]

 

imo i would paint the letters of paxton in red same as the valve covers i think that would be nice understated but cool

 

polished alum., get your finishes straight

 

[8D]yea huh




so timelock..... wheres those burnout vids?

 

+1 on the red on black thing!

 

I like it painted. It looks perfect.

 

I'm hadn't thought aboutthe red "PAXTON" letters. Are you suggesting that instead, or in addtion, to the black background?

Also, one of the shop guys suggested paiting the bonnett "groves" black. What do you think?

19stang66:I agee. Right now my gut says the black background is just right.I do not want a "boy racer" look.

But I want to hear all opinions. Thanks...

 

Oh, forgot to add - by the time I'm done there will be only one chrome item (condensor cover) in the engine bay. The rest is all polished aluminum(the hood hinges and springs are being changed to black).
