A long overdue custom paint scheme...

[luxstang]

.. never impressed me much..( Shania? Is that you?)

Well HER looks on the other hand did impress me much!!

 

[Kit Sullivan]

Yep...that leopard print thing was pretty awesome!

 

[Jeff73Mach1]

I think the gulf paint on our cars looks pretty damn cool

 

[Kit Sullivan]

I agree, it looks great!

Wonder how it would look in JPS/ Trans Am livery?

Like a Bandit TransAm Actually I like this Lotus in the JPS colors.



I did see an early Mustang painted in the Martini Racing colors I liked too.

What would a standard 71-72 Mach 1 paint scheme look like? Blue car, orange lower rockers, hockey stripes and hood "black out" (orange out? )

A bit rushed and sloppy, but here we go:

Not really keen on it, IMHO. I didn't stripe it - and probably all for the better too.

My last silly question is: drunroll please

Could I order an 05 car in it's most basic form to look pretty much identical to an 02 car?

Or will it have something, no matter how little, to differentiate it?

The main differences between ordering your '73 Gulf as a Sportsroof rather than a Mach 1:

• Trunk badging
  
• Optional wheel lip moldings
  
• Honeycomb rear taillight panel
  
• Optional 5-slot mags (Magnum 500's shown above are incorrect)
  
• Sport mirrors are optional
  
• NACA hood is an extra-cost option
  

Touché.

Kurt, your subject car is a '73... Do it up with '73 stripes.

At that point, the Gulf scheme means nothing more than the colors; not even the valance will carry the proper orange.

I'll try it tomorrow though, if only for curiosity.

forgot the orange mirrors...

 

[rottenralph]

While you are busy photo shopping, can you change my wheel cutouts to black and bright lime. I don't like the grey on the Eleanor copies. Think I will make them black. Love the Gulf oil leman paint scheme.

 

[detritusmaximus]

I think the bumper is too heavy for all that orange. Need a front spoiler to be orange and the bumper to be just a continuation of the hood stripe.

forgot the orange mirrors...

What mirrors?

Those orange mirrors are on a recreation car.
