Any pictures of Sonic blue or Bright Atlantic blue fox thunderbirds?

I am just about ready to have my 86 tbird painted. The engine compartment was done sonic blue as that was the color I was going with. I also love 98 cobra bright Atlantic blue. Does anyone have pics of a fox tbird painted either of theses colors? I have also entertained a metallic burgundy also but would have to reshoot the engine compartment. Decisions ugh lol. thanks

It's been a while since he has posted on here, but The Hawk has an '87 that is painted a color similar to Bright Atlantic Blue.

Agree.  Hawk's car is the most badass, well done fox t-bird I've ever seen.  Wonder if he still has the car?  Its been ages since he's posted.

Heya Hawk, still have that video where you pulled onto the highway and got on it a little? That was one of the first vids I ever saw of a Fox Bird...pretty badass to see that thing move out as hard as it did. :)

I did one of my t birds bright atlantic blue metallic years ago.  loved that colour and got tons of looks in it.




not near as nice as Hawks but it was good enough for a backyard paint job with the wrong reducer used.  (lots of orange peel)  still looked much better then the rust and two tone brown it was.
