They are getting extremely hard to find. Took me 5 months to find my 91' Titanium Frost coupe with only 89k on the clock from the original owner..

Welcome to the Forums!

ahahhahahh I was just going with it when the one guy said that I am going to fuck it up.

Glad to see some dedicated fans to the mustang here... But I am not going to fuck it up just make the stock parts that are weak stronger with better. Nothing drastic just really restore it because some of the stock parts are cracking and what not.

I am thinking about switching over the synethic but I heard from the old owner that the 5.0 don't like to have that done.. A lot of "junk" builds up in the engine and might clog my oil pick up..

Does anybody know how I could overcome this problem cause I am a strong beliver of synethic oil (amsoil that is) perferably something thick like 15w 30 or something like that I don't want koolaid in there hah... 5w 15 ....

plase help

I got some some electrodes that I can "burn" into the metal which gives a really cool effect.

Here is some links of what it looks like or what the finish

So you are going to engrave into the body? Blegh
It aint my money and it aint my car so I guess what ever you want to do...it had better look somewhat presentable when its done and not like a ricers car

Personally if you've only tried this on a scrap sheet of metal, and have no real experience doing this to an automobile, I HIGHLY advise against it.
