I couldn't let it go last night, so after we ate dinner, I went out and applied the driver's side hockey stick stripe.
I was going to apply the passenger stripe also, but I decided that I could do that side one night this week after work.
It really changes the look of the car!
IMO, without the stripe it looks clean and classy, but with the stripe it looks more aggressive and sporty!
As Mickey D's says, I'm loving it!
Better than it looked almost three years ago, haha. I think it is safe to bring my Tandem bike back up from the basement now. It is a 1969 Schwinn Twinn deluxe that my parents bought new. I had just finished restoring it right before I bought the Mach and I did not want to risk it getting damaged. You can see it hanging from the ceiling of the garage in the before pic of the Mach.
Here is a before and after pic of the tandem on the ground, I stripped it to a bare frame and painted it House of Kolors, Candy Root Beer with a gold metallic base. It was originally a similar brown, but this color really pops compared to the original color. The picture doesn't give it justice, in the sun the gold base comes alive. Knowing I was going to do some spraying on the Mustang in the garage, I did not want to risk over spray landing on it, so it has been residing in the basement.
