That car is really growing on me.

Just sitting here thinking, and this is so cool because it kind of forces one to look at the lines of the car and not necessarily the color. The color is ancillary. It is a beautiful car, and with what I would argue an attempt to understate it, just enhances it. And the uniqueness is huge. If Ford only offered the car in this color then it would not be nearly as cool. There are several pics in a variant of light and it looks good. I was born in 70 and seems to remember some older cars runnin around in these mild green variants including my grandparents 60s Impala boat. So I’m diggin nostalgia as well, thumbs up.

At first this color made me think what the hell was the OP thinking? As time goes by I understand his intent more and more, I still think it's crazy to repaint a new car but that's neither here nor there, I'm changing my opinion and saying I dig the car.

Hey, thanks dvs73. I actually have a clean (no ridges) black deck-lid incase I change my mind. Thank you for the input! Here's a photoshopped black rear deck-lid.

I love the script, it enhances and gives a bit of elegance to the panel, this car is getting better and better!

Olive or Black

Hey Loki-GT,
Thanks for the encouragement! Do you have a preference of The painted or the black rear panel?

I like the script. Maybe also the olive decklid.

Still curious about the engine compartment.

 

[Labradog]

100% Black decklid panel over body color imo

Engine compartment

I like the script. Maybe also the olive decklid.

Still curious about the engine compartment.

This is how we divided the paint in the engine compartment. It's looks clean when you open the hood, but i'm not showing off engine mods, so my hood stays closed.

The panel that houses the GT emblem I like as shown in the picture above with the script "Mustang", I think it looks classy.

I like the black decklid with the script 100 times more than the painted decklid and script. Pulls the entire back end together because of the black trims surrounding the taillights and lower valance. I finally figured out why I was so bothered by your rear bumper, the black trim surrounding the tail lights getting broken up with the painted deck lid was driving me nuts. Still love the color and the changes you've made.

Olive18, very impressive project and I give you props for going out on a limb with that color. I think the front grill resembles a Maserati and I like black for the rear decklid.
Great work man, I will be following the progress

I would leave it debadged, let people wonder what it is......

Engine compartment

This looks great, and I'd certainly be happy showing the engine compartment like that. Basically, the original color shows only on the shock towers - if it can be done this well without pulling the engine, I don't see why anyone would bother with that other than high-end show cars.

I don't know why the fk anybody would do this anyway, but hey, it's your $$$.

Black?

Yes, definitley leave the decklid panel blackw/script. Looks awesome like that!

It the weirdest thing.Something tells me I shouldn't like this but I still do. I can't explain it. I think it needs some flat stripes or something though.
