Thats definitely orange. Grabber orange was commonly referred to as school bus orange back in the day.

I've always had mixed feelings about that color on later model mustangs. I think it looked good on the 69-70 fastbacks but after that the mustangs didnt have the right lines to really show a color like that. I think it would look ok on the S197 cars but if you guys like it then thats all that matters. I like it better then that purple one you had.

I'm doing something to my car that isnt very popular with many people but my wife wants it done so thats how Bryan will be painting it. Its our car so the ones who dont like it can piss off,.. you know?

Arnge is good...but it always needs some black to break up the punkin sides. I'm hoping the side molding, window trim and coon eyes on the '86 will do that. If not, there's always the blackened hood. You could do some BOSS type stripes on yours for a nice effect.

I saw yours last night. He's ready to shoot it. The body is perfect,.. looks mint.
I'm really curious to see how yours comes out. He did one hell of job compared to how it was when we dropped it off.

You should see what he's done to my engine bay. All I asked for was to paint it to match the body color and he's made some repairs to crap that was done before I got the car. Completely above and beyond what I asked for.

Got some for cheap (under $100 or freeeee)? Cuz I r teh broke now.


Oh, and I need a wiring genius to help me figure out why the 3rd brake light works, but the others and my turn signals DON'T. That and how to fix my passenger side window.

My son (at 13 y/o) figured out how to program the key fob, so now THAT works and I can lock it and not need two sets of keys. LOL

Any help on the other two issues?
