I'd love to know which part of Australia your 69 is going to and can you post a pic of it??

I dig the hazards. I'll be doing the sequentials but not sure which ones yet. Stangaholics has one that's reasonable on price, we'll see.

Looking at paint colors.... Definitely DECIDED AGAINST "Grabber Orange" Here's some pics I edited that were originally red. (makes for easy editing)

Nah, not my thing. :/



..These are the wheels and tires I have for the car already and the '67 they came off (Billet Specialties Fast Lane 20x9 rear and 18x8 front)




Here's a few gt500 pics that I edited

it doesnt really look like grabber orange on my screen but I like where you're going with this. are you thinking shelby clone or restomod with shelby touches?

<<definitely not spot-on for grabber orange but you get the idea. On both my home pc's it looks pretty good though.

I'm doing a clone first, with pro-touring/restomod touches. Wheels, suspension, brakes, and color will be pro touring/restomod. Interior will be mostly concourse except maybe higher-back seats that are period-correct.

If not the grabber orange color (2008 GT500 hue seems coolest) I'm thinking about something totally different, unique, but not too bling or too common. The metallic starburst colors are a little played-out in my opinion.

Also the white gt500 rocker stripes and top stripes are a must to brake up the orange/yellow. No black, not wanting a bumble bee either.

I like the Grabber Orange. The current Mustang color would be a good choice for it. Might not be exactly the same as the original, but it looks good. But please, dear God, don't put that set of 18/20's on it.
