My Calypso Green 1993 Mustang GT

Firaga · May 19th, 2011, 01:18 PM

Finally. Sorry about the wait for those of you that asked for it. Someone lost the cable for my camera, and I wasn't able to get the photos till now. The pictures are from 2 different days. The first set, doesn't have the side moldings on, the second set has them, and the badges.

Before:

After:

New headlights, old tailights

new side moldings, painted all the exterior pieces. The exhaust tips aren't new, those first pictures are just super old.

Sooo tell me what you think! It was a really long process, but I learned so much, and I learned how to shoot paint. I'm very happy with the way it turned out, I've gotten a bunch of compliments on it so far. Now for some lowering springs, and heads.

The amount of sunlight kind of changes the color a bit. I'd take some pictures inside but.. eh. Good enough.

Looks good...

But I think it needs no exhaust tips as I think they look tacky...

Some different rims...

And for some reason I have extreme mixed feelings on the GT bodykit with that color...

Firaga · May 19th, 2011, 01:34 PM

Yeah, I've never seen a calypso GT before. I would like some of the chrome pony rims, but I've never seen them in person and have a feeling they might look kinda hokey. I'm also considering trying to powdercoat my rims so they all look fresh. Again, decisions, decisions.

ChrisJ · May 19th, 2011, 01:37 PM

While I really like the work you did to it and you did improve it...

I have been looking at the pictures since you posted them...

I dont think the GT body can pull the color off IMHO...I think if you put the cobra kit on it or took it to an LX it would look awesome...

Thats just my opinion...In the end if it makes you happy do it to it!!!

91vbstang · May 19th, 2011, 01:45 PM

I agree with the post's above. Some nice chrome rims and the tips removed and i think it would make the car. But overall good work

jjpluml · May 19th, 2011, 06:53 PM

My thoughts exactly, either a Cobra kit or strip down to an LX. BTW Calypso Green is my favorite color on a fox....

wow, pretty stunning to be honest, I love it!

but I agree that the exhaust tips gotta go.

Digsj7 · May 19th, 2011, 09:00 PM

I like everything but the hood.

No matter what these boneheads say...NO CHROME RIMS!!

Nice looking car!

Cajones2002 · May 19th, 2011, 09:10 PM

flattusmaximus78 · May 20th, 2011, 12:31 AM

Get chrome salad shooters, dump the exhaust by the axle, and black trim: I'd fap.

ryanw · May 20th, 2011, 01:08 AM

looks good

1LOUDGT · May 20th, 2011, 05:37 AM

Very Well Done.
Chrome wheels or maybe black with chrome lips. I have to agree with Flatt go with dumps it will keep the lines of the car clean. What’s the interior color?

Buy a hot naked chick and keep her in the passanger seat at all times. ie. Russian Mail Order Bride.
