No Navi system, that is all factory interior other than the sound system. What you are seeing I think is storage that rolls up like a bread box. I could be wrong about that but it is definately not any high-tech electronics.

Foudie - Any chance you could get more info on the paint color (brand/exact name/ even the code)??? I've been looking for something like that for mine.

Thanks,

Ryan, I know this sounds funny, but Bill swears that the paint is Sherwin Williams Automotive paint ( I thought they just made house paint) but the colors are Brittany blue and Porsche silver for the stripes. If you need it I can get the paint code for it but as you can imagine he is not carrying that info with him right now. Also try Tahiti Turquoise it is a GM color that looked awesome on first gen Camaros.

Sweet ride!! By far one of the best looking mustangs I've seen.

[Foudie]

Thanks, I will let him know. Not bad for a guy who has never changed his own oil before this project huh?

I saw that too and would think that it's blowing freash air on the rad instead of blowing warm engine compartment air on the rad. But I could be wrong.

Thanks Foudie - I appreciate the quick response. I'll have to check that out. Yeah they do make automotive paint (SW). I've had a local guy tell me he prefers to use it.

Nice car, especially for a first effort. It would stand up well next to most any professional effort.

Good job!

Nice job and nice car,it has great look to it and nice color choices too.

Beautiful car....very nicely done.

However, if I could offer some photography advice. Tell your friend; never take a picture of the car's 'shadow' side. Always position the car so that you can capture the side that is facing the sun. Also...the best time to shoot a car is when it's overcast.

Sorry, I know...I'm nit-picking. But this was some advice that was offered to me by a photographer from Hot Rod years ago. Wish I would have got his name.
