I'm also thinking about deleting the heater system all together since it will be cruising in good weather only. I hate to say it, but I never use the heat or a/c in the Camaro or T/A..

I have decided to paint it blk for sure..

I'm liking the clean theme SW. Black is going to look great and with the FM5's and the right stance it's not really going to need much more!
Can't wait to see her.

I think if you go with Black, you need the black centers in the wheels.

71NOVA, I plan on driving it in the evenings and during nice weather only. If I can't stand it, I can always add Vintage air later.

Here are some pictures from this afternoon. The last picture is of a '70 at the my bodyshop guys place. I'm thinking about shaving the drip rails like on this car, what do you guys think? It's off to the bodyshop in the AM..

The shaved driprails along with the black would make it very stealthy. Go for it. Are you going to shave the handles too ?

I like the drip rails. I guess I am just old school.

Leave the drip rails. Shaving ruins the classis lines of the car IMO.
Paint MUST be red.
While your at it, don't skimp out on the suspension. You will just regret it later, so do it right the first time!
Looking forward to see it done SW. Keep us updated.

Default whatever color

I think all black is too simple, but thats just an opinion. The body lines on this yr mustang is awesome just dont put slats in the back window or the Mach 1 rear spoiler and its cool by me!

As of today, the shell is going into paint tomorrow, all the unused holes in the engine compartment are being welded/filled and heater box shaved.
