Good looking build!

Nice concept well done.

Awesome job!

Very well done! No easy feat working with linkage.

Well, I really didn't think you were trying to duplicate the original colors but that's cool too. I was thinking some colors that really pop since its such an extreme build. Whatever you come up I'm sure we'll love.

Nice build! I love the detail.

Very nice!

I'm down with that paint scheme! The selection for your actual paint color will be critical. But I'm sure you already know that.

Awesome work! Great resto project!

Thanks Kurt, and yes I did end up using bead wire for the exhaust. Because the wire was coated in black, I couldn't sand out the dents from the pliers. I might do it anyway and repaint or make them look more like the result of bottoming out.

Thanks guys. Its HOK Solar Gold. Laid down really nice but doesn't build up. My first time using it.

Well done David!

Well I finally got paint on this thing. I was a bit skittish because I've botched a couple of sprays lately but this came out great paintwise. There was a little ghosting of the Mustang emblems but the decals will cover them. You really have to look hard to see them. The color isn't exact, but its the closest I could find. Most golds are more brown. Time for detailing now! My next pics should be in the "Under Glass" section.

That's sweet!!

Taking notes! ✏️

Nice! I like the way that was done.

Yes, very nice build!

Ditto!!

I actually have those headers and tried to use them. I wondered what kit they came from.

I'm not into modifieds, but you did an excellent job on it!

Awesome build! Very nicely detailed, and I love the weathering on the tools.

Nicely done! Fantastic detail!

Yeah, looks like it could be a 810 with another manuf. grille. Either way it looks like a cool build.

I'm beginning to wrap this one up. For those following I apologize for the intermittent postings. After a lot of wasted material I finally got the headers in. I did have to install the rear pipes onto the engine first, then install the engine, then add the final two pipes. It took a lot of test fitting to get them to clear the suspension, but not drag the ground. I show also the intake ducts which I had in the parts box mocked in with some clay . They came in a Cobra open box kit I bough about 3 years ago and forgot I had them. I still have some fitting to do but they'll work. The good news is, the hood closes with the ductwork in place, even though I added some aluminum collars to make them sit flush. Otherwise the bodywork and interior are done. Thanks for looking.

I'm an American car guy, but based on the criteria, I'll go with the 944. Always wanted one.
