Is this a for sale ad, LOL? It reads like one. That car is awesome. Amazing how fast you can get to $10k building an engine. By the way, that color yellow was not available on a mustang until 2013. There was no yellow in 2011 and the 2012 yellow was not yellow at all, it was gold.

Very nice, but would be much better if the sale panels and window frames were blacked out too.

[MercCapri83]

@ homer, it is not for sale lol sorry. and yes, it is amazing how fast you can hit 10K on an engine lol. And also, thank you for informing me on the color, I appreciate it

@85_ss_302_ Coupe, Now that you mention it, that would look pretty sick, I might take that into consideration!

For me, seeing the painted vertigo window frame of the door just breaks up the lines of the car. I would go all black with the window frame and sale panel, or at the least do the window frames.

Welcome! This is a great shot!

[MercCapri83]

Thank you everyone! And thank you for the input!

Very nice! +1 on blacking out the window area and sail panels. What's up with those sail panels? Custom made? I'd go back to the original Capri sail panels, one of the better features that differentiate Capri from Mustang! I have the best of both worlds, a Capri-bodied '83 Mustang! All JMO, of course! ;-}

[MercCapri83]

Tcruise, Thats what im thinking about doing now. Those black sail panels would look nice on my car! And you do have the best of both worlds! Thats awesome!

[homer302]

I prefer the all body colored look personally. Including the trim above the sail panel.

[MercCapri83]

Would you be able to send me a link for some black window panels? I cant seem to find any. That is a clean color you used! I'm planning on going about the same color, and then switch to a Cowl inducted hood.

[onetrackrider]

Liking the color, but then again I'm kinda partial to yellow...

[LILCBRA]

Really like your car, although I kind of agree with the window frames needing black paint. I think it would make the tinted windows flow. Sail panel paint is optional, I think I would like it either way personally. The tinted windows really make your car stand out and the black trim/accents makes the yellow really pop!! BTW, I think you have a twin, if it only had tinted windows as well....

That's a gorgeous Mustang! I will defiantly look into painting the panels!

[85_SS_302_Coupe]

I believe those are SVO sail panels if nobody has mentioned it yet.

[BIITodd]

oh my god my car finnaly resurfaced. Id love to see it. and is that still the old paint or did you repaint it recently? still looks good i really feared somone parted it out or something! good to see it is still together!

[BIITodd]

Nope different yellow but the same car (looks better anyway). id love to see it sometime. where are you located?

[MercCapri83]

I love this car man, I dont think I would ever part it out. And I live out in Fl

[homer302]

I knew this was a for sale ad.
