hireman · 07-04-2007, 07:27 AM

finally finished buffing and sanding...what you guys think?

hireman · 07-04-2007, 07:30 AM

a few more

interesting...looks like a lot of work went into the paint and such.

I'll have to be honest and say I'm not a fan of the horse on the hood...doesn't look real enough IMO... the horse's mouth looks odd to me. Also, it looks as if the flames are mostly red...there needs to be more orange in there to make them look real. but, don't listen to me much on style...I like the plain Jane sleeper look. and please dont take this as me saying I could paint better...I couldn't even come close to what you have there.

I bet your car turns some heads!!!

we did use all candy red for the fire because of the red interior, thought it would flow better.....I had some real fire stuff under the hood for a little while and didnt like it as much as the candy red. Because the horse is defined by the fire its hard to get the detail in it that painting a horse would give , that would stand out too much IMO....we went for the evil hellhorse look...LOL!!! Your right, it does get some attention wherever it is and done really well at the few shows I have taken it to so far...were now figuring out what to do for a motor...I really want 700rwhp and still be able to drive it around whenever I want to :-)

well it looks DAMN good overall. kudos!

*madmatt* · 07-04-2007, 09:36 AM

Looks sick!

Dave04Mustang · 07-04-2007, 09:36 AM

you can tell you spent a lot of time on it. I like how you didn't over do it with the flames. Nice job

Built block with twin turbos should fix you right up. Thats a nice lookin car. I love those brakes too. Brakes are one of the first things I notice when walking up to a modified car. Its really an over-looked but well needed modification.

mustangvsix · 07-04-2007, 09:55 AM

looks amazing. great job with it.

*venom* · 07-04-2007, 10:16 AM

Looks great and I like that its all red.

3V2000GT · 07-04-2007, 10:22 AM

UN freaking BELIEVABLE

PColav6 · 07-04-2007, 10:31 AM

That looks awesome, the horse/red flames are badass! Definitely couldn't pull that off on a Newedge, though

Codiddy · 07-04-2007, 01:46 PM

The paint work is incredible but i don't particularly care for the horse. It still looks great though.

SxyXc · 07-04-2007, 02:32 PM

That looks incredible, I really like the way if flows, the brakes, paint, engine, and intereor awsome job man!!

Cheddarbob · 07-04-2007, 03:12 PM

nice paint

redfire04 · 07-04-2007, 05:35 PM

Those valve covers are sweet!

00blkstanggt · 07-05-2007, 09:37 AM

I think that the all red works a lot better then making realistic looking flames. It's not something I would go with cause I just like a good 'ol solid color, but if I wanted a design, then thats something I could live with. Good job, looks pretty mean.

slogo · 07-06-2007, 08:09 AM

Have I seen that car before? Maybe a magazine?
Looks nice.

yeah, thats one of the top choices were looking into. I agree about the brakes, I did the 0-60-0 at the year one experience this year and was in one of the top cars stopping , 0-60 was like 4.49 and it was spinning through most of 1st gear but the stopping was as fun as the 0-60 portion ;-)

heres a couple shots of some of the billet we did to match the outside....so far most think its not overdone, it really looks cool in person.

no mags yet, they shot it a year one for some mag but the background wasnt that great , I've been to a couple shows with it so far and a few cruises around the atlanta area.
