Before and after.

[BUGMAN]

Got this a few months ago and just now getting started on it. The after shot is from a crappy camera phone but I will get a few more asap. The hood swap, dent repair, body work and paint done by Maaco. You should see this paint up close, you wouldn't believe how good it looks. Mirror shine and looks better the closer you get. $500 will still get ya a decent paint job.

I am thinking clear headlights and chrome ponies will spice it up a bit. Not 100% on the ponies but will post up pictures to see what ya think when I swap them over.

Opinions welcome but don't care for ignorant bashing.

[Mr. Clean]

looks a butt ton better... did you do body work on it and primer or anything before you shipped er off to macco or did they do everything?

:EDIT: re-read the OP and decided that you did not. haha

[FasTech]

Paint looks great, not much of a Mustang fan but that hood with the red paint just looks hottt.

[JITB]

[Scotsman]

i hate to say it but more than likely the paint will deteriorate sooner than it should. seems to happen 90% of the time with MAACO. hope you are in the 10%

[BUGMAN]

Thanks for the comments.

I have a 4 year warranty against fading or peeling. This is about the 10th car they have done for me. I had one start chipping on the trunk lid after about a year on one of them and they repainted the entire back 1/2 for me for free and gave me another 4 years on the paint.

They do not do "show" quality work and I have a 3k paint job here beside me now so I do know the difference. But with a 4 year warranty and $500 it was one hel of an improvement for me.

black housing for the head lights.

do it.

That's what we have in mind.

Several. What do you think we drive everyday with these gas prices.

Same here man really great to meet ya! The owner called me yesterday to personally thank us for purchasing over 100 Blizzards in one hour with the total being 146 Blizzards.

Paint looks great, not much of a Mustang fan but that hood with the red paint just looks hottt.

Thanks, it looks way better than I thought it would to be honest. Wait til I get the windows tinted, wheel son it and some decent headlights.

[BUGMAN]

A few more for. It is dirty from sitting under the trees while raining but still looks good to me.

[Scotsman]

146 , that is outstanding!

[Motivation]

[tank500999]

who did the work'

[X-Runner]

Looks good bugman. Not bad at all for $500

[Slomaro Z28]

some nice wheels will really set it off.

[Me86Rob]

to be honest bugman, im not really feeling the turbo hood on there. BUT the chrome ponies, thatll look GREAT. and also, blue oval industries sells a good set of headlights for $100 shipped. cant beat the prices. and they are shiiiney and come with clear side markers.
*EDIT* that nopi sticker is LONG gone so dont even bother commenting on it

I was gonna snag ya on that one.

I agree on the hood but it looks way better than we thought it would. I have over 3 dozen Stangs and the cowl hood thing is getting old over here so I am trying different hoods with different colors and seeing what works. I think I can make the hood look OK with the right headlights, wheels, tint and lowering it a bit.

Thanks for the info on the lights... I just may be looking them up here in a minute. I have dealt with them several times in the past so no biggie there, I know they ship their stuff quickly.

That's what my son said. As soon as we get it on the lift for tires we are dropping it a bit.

[Me86Rob]

also, cervinis makes a saleen lower lip, that looks so amazing. i was gonna do a cobra wing and tail lights with the saleen front lip and some oldschool mesh saleen wheels. but i think im getting out of the stang dept for a minute

[JITB]

you should make a thread of all ur stangs.. i want to see them.

[Me86Rob]

oh and dude dont lower it. i think you have way to many aveage coupes. you should totally do this.....

[BUGMAN]

brag

oh and dude dont lower it. i think you have way to many aveage coupes. you should totally do this.....

I would drive the wheels off that beast!!!

Love it!

I have a passion for cars and I just so happen to be in the Stang mode the past few years. Before that it was Chevy and older Imports like the TR-7, MGB's, Fiats, etc. Now I have a TR-7 still, Honda N600, 82 Civic, 74 Celica, a few Chebbies, a Honda Accord, 08 Civic and a yard full of stangs. It is just a hobby and something fun to play with when I have time. I am definitely car poor.

Just for you here are a few of what I have now.

[Me86Rob]

somethign about my southern heratige makes a 4x4 mustang seem SOOOOO right. i wonder if that kit comes with a mullet and sideburns

[BUGMAN]

Here ya go.

[BUGMAN]

Is this enough for now?

[BUGMAN]

Last few. If ya wanna see all my junk bring yo happy azz out here one day.

I'd grow a mullet if I had one of those. I like anything different and that thing is definitely different. I wonder what chassis they have it sitting on? I have a few out here that I could use if I knew what worked.

And you know I would have that sucker sitting on 52's.

[Me86Rob]

what are you doing tomorrow bugman

[BUGMAN]

what are you doing tomorrow bugman

Should be free after the family breakfast and church hours. I have a Chevy S-10 that I am selling and may have to meet a guy @ Summit for a possible trade on yet another stang. If that doesn't pan out then we will be here swapping some wheels around on a few of the cars and straightening shop up a bit. We demolished it today trying to do a 1/2 day engine swap/rebuild.

Either way we should be here by mid afternoon.

[Me86Rob]

well im supposed to go buy a 300z tomorrow, but if the guy dont call me in the mornin then id like to try to swing by your compound. and whild you are switching wheels, you wouldnt happen to have some pony's that you like to trade for 10 holes plus cash. the tread is kinda goofy on the tires cause i overheated them and the fronts are peeling haha.

[BUGMAN]

you wouldnt happen to have some pony's

Nah I am actually looking for more wheels myself.

What in the hell is hiding behind the 4-wheeler? That's the Honda N600 isn't it. Gawd I forgot how small they were.

Yes it is. It is in rough condition but I have found/ordered almost everything I need to have it back on the road.
