70 mustang progress
 

I posted a few months ago when I first started this project and thought I'd post some pics of the progress. after some extensive body work,(quarters, floorpans, shock tower, lowered rockerpanels, sidemarkers filled ect.) it's in the final blocking stages now and should be ready for paint in the next week or so.I'm still deciding on HOK tangelo or a dark candy red (help!). Window trim, spoilers, and stripes on hood will be dark grey same as wheel centers. Engine is a pretty stout 302 with a fogger system, backed by a big block toploader with hydraulic clutch. Suspension is total control front and rear (g-bar in rear) wilwood all the way around, including triple master pedals, and steeroids rack. Tires are 295 35 19 and 255 40 18 with budnik cannons. Interior includes 2005 bmw seats with integreted belts, fold down rear seat and full autometer year one dash.Anyway I have most of the pieces and as soon as the paint is done it might start to look like a real car!

In that case I personally think the candy red would be a nicer contrast.
Either way.... very nice build .... and even nicer garage floor (man thats clean) :thumbsup:

I've always loved 70 fastbacks!

Your's is coming along very nicely!!

I'll even the score out and vote for the tangelo!
(Sorta like the ole Calypso Corral on roids!) :D

Making some serious progress. Between the colors you mentioned, definately some sort of candy red. This car may be a good example of what you are looking at.

Looking good! One of my next street car builds will be a 69 or 70 fast back. I noticed you are out in Disco! My inlaws live out their off New Port so I may have to swing by and check out your ride.

Yeah, I think im leaning towards a candy red. It would probably transition better with dark trim and give it a more "sinister" look that i'm after. I spent all day blocksanding and I cant wait till this stage is done.Kevin, if your in the area stop by, I've got two sanding blocks! :lol:

Shoot me an address! Sanding block what's that? [I am blocked out after this last customer build but I may be perswaded :thumbsup: IMG]http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b20/rokcrln/paint25.jpg[/IMG]

Stang, i'll be watching for updates. I also have a 70 sportsroof I hope to be starting on soon. I am a fan of the tangelo color from HOK. However, the candy would be great, just harder to shoot. I always think about future accidents where i would need to touch up or even repaint. 3 stage paints are harder to match. Well, in my opinion. I am not a professional.

I have a few pics that I attached of the interior ect. that are ready for install. The gauge panel is a Year One piece that was painted. I ditched all the woodgrain and shooting towards a more hightech aluminum theme. The tailamps bezels have been smoothed out and should give a more modern appearance Thanks for the input on paint guys, I am going a candy red. (kevin, I'll pm you with an address)
