Billet Pro shop is sending out a replacement pulley.

Car is at body shop. Needs a lot of touch up and am leaning towards repainting the entire car.
Don't paint graphics on it people won't like. Then you'll have to tell us how we're all poor.

You going to have the paint look like it is ripping away to help people understand theres a "Shelby" inside...

Ah I see someone has been catching up on FOXfailhundred

Considering all the same things I've paid close attention to with keeping the settle theme, that build took a huge turn.

A nice fresh coat of UA wouldn't be the worst thing in the world depending on how the paint looks. I kind of see it as one of those scenarios where if you're going to do it anyways in the next 5 years, you might as well do it now while it's going into the booth.

If you're going to repaint it, would you do it UA again or would you consider a different black like Tuxedo Black?

I had my whole car painted after I fixed it (bought it wrecked). I just had it done in the original Mineral Grey.

If I were to do it over again, I would certainly go with a custom color. At the time, I was anxious to get it done, and didn't want to wait the time to have the jambs done, plus the added cost. But looking back, I wish I would have.

Black is a nice color, but there are SOOO many others to choose from. Even if it's just a different black, like mentioned.

I hate to say it, but I have always been a fan of the rare True Blue Bullitt from 2001 years. I love those darker blues.

I really like a lot of the blues, and was considering a couple of them. I've always liked True Blue.

You made the right choice. Mineral Grey is, as far as I'm concerned, one of the best colors Ford has ever put on a car.

Getting the itch...

I had a dream about a Mustang with this stance

But with a Bullitt-like wheel... I love the Porsche Fuchs.

I was saying no. Now I'm 20/80 on it.

I really like the muscle car look on it, but I would like to do like a retrostance thing with. Just trying to find a good set of wheels I could do that with.
