new paint job idea February 01, 2011, 07:24:08 PM Hey guyswell to go along with my new top end, Ive decided to spend some time brightening the cat up a little. after a couple of ideas, some a little more outrageous than others, and a survey of some close friends who see the car the most, I have come up with an idea that i think both looks good, and can be done in the little time i have to work on my cars. It will just be a flat black, and a bit of a clear coat finish, just to keep the shiny, and ill be putting a "302 - 4" in the space just after the roll over the fender. let me know what you guys think!

new paint job idea Reply #4 – February 01, 2011, 09:02:22 PM @Blackbird1 - i thought about it, ill post a pic, after seeing it i thought it felt a little too heavy on the front end, but let me know what you think:@Mcb82gt - Im thinking about it, once i get some extra money for new tires i might have the rims on there remounted. i pulled the hubs off for winter, and they look okay as black steelies, but it'd be nice to have some turbines.@RunninWild - rebuilding the intake on the engine, new Edlebrock performer RPM intake and a 4bbl Holley carb.

new paint job idea Reply #5 – February 01, 2011, 09:26:17 PM I think "no" on the center stripe. How about "302-4V", that would match the Mustang air cleaners of the day. Or "Five Liter", "5.0", "5.0L", "302" or some similar variation to the Boss lettering from the 69/70. No matter what, you're going to need wheels equal to the task. Wire covers ain't gonna cut it.

new paint job idea Reply #7 – February 01, 2011, 11:21:35 PM I'm voting "No". It just doesn't fit the car. On a Stang, I'd say yes. On these cars, I say "more subtle". Quote Selected

I think I would do that as well. looks awesome though! Do the high part of the hood ALL black, with those stripes. not like you have it in the pic.... Quote Selected

new paint job idea Reply #12 – February 02, 2011, 03:11:09 PM I'd like to see the original photo with the nose body-colored, and maybe another without the hood stripes. Quote Selected
new paint job idea Reply #13 – February 02, 2011, 03:13:40 PM I say no to all the stripes. A nice paintjob will look good without stripes. Quote Selected
