Sons car... picture whoring

Haven't posted in awhile.. But since my son I worked so hard on cleaning his car figured show our hard work..  Washed, waxed and buffed car out yesterday..

Got car all spiffed up for his yearbook page. He LOVES this car and wanted his picture with it for dedication page , his mom & I got for last year of school..


Brief history of car,,  Got for him when he was 15, and did HO conversion, w/GT40 motor in it, had tranny rebuilt with mild shift kit, quick ratio rack/pinion,install TC rear 3.73's, chrome Ponies, and had it painted at Macco. The paint job did surprise me, wasn't expecting a Macco job to look this good. The paint is bout 2 years old now..  Do have TC black interior panels to install and I found him a set of 94GT seats we are going to install...

One last thing I want to put on it for his Graduation is a Powerdyne blower...:burnout:


Anyway here is picture..

Is the car twilight blue metallic?  I really like the color.  I plan to repaint mine the factory blue metallic.

Thanks guys,,,


As fr the color not really sure what it is. Took it up there ans said wanted back factory color and got the paint from door sticker. Think he is the only kid with Fox-Bird at his high school. Tried to buy him an 90 LX 5.0 for last year of school but he doesnt want to get rid if his bird.. Even told him I would give him my f-150(light clone) and turned it down, Hooked him up with some BOMM_BOOM,,,tinted windowsnew dash cover,  SVO steering wheel, MAC shorty headers, UPR off raod X-pipe and 05GT lers... Sounds like a stock 5.0 riding up road..


Truck he turn down also........
