Awesome. I love the way Paint & Clear looks when it's been freshly laid down. :drool:

I just hate the feeling of when the clear gets on you when your shooting it  :eek4:

well, makin a mess is something to avoid, may sound odd, but after 28 years in the printing industry, ive learned to stay clean. sometimes its unnavoidable, but then again ,  i dont get paid to get dirty!  :bigsmile:

Yeah but just when your laying down the clear and it just gets everywhere, No because it spills. Just the particles in the air while your laying the clear down. Just funky  :eek4:

Welcome, from another (former) Mustang guy.

It won't be long before you turn fully towards the dark side. :biggrin:

 :wave: Welcome, RedMan!

Hang out and have fun.  Lots of nice people here.  We can appreciate a Mustang too!

Does it have a 289?  The coupes are cool too, not just the fastbacks.  I like the Califonia Specials with the Shelby taillights.  Coupes look nice with some fat tires out back IMO. 

1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

Phil in New England-Massachusetts  Always thank God for what you have!

Well It had a straight 6, got some pretty good torque but I don't wanna keep it with the 6 all the time. I plan on buying a V8. I'd like a 390 but the 429 Cobra Jet would make me  :faint: But it's a coupe, but like you said coupes can look good too. So I'm hoping it works out the way I want it to.

welcome to the site.  had I known so many of us have stangs I would have admitted it sooner.  I bought my 67 three years ago for $1500  put plates on it and drove it for the summer.  I bought a 390 big bl and a 445 ci stroker kit.  I was looking for a transmission for the combo when a challenging situation unfolded.  Now I am $5000 poorer, owner of a 70 mopar,and have a wife whos looking for a tranny for "her" mustang.  Welcome to the dark side, the force is strong in this one.
