    That was round about the time i figured to 4 hrs :scratchchin: Whats the chance of getting you to deliver to me (lmao) :rofl2:i only get 2 days off a week if im lucky so 8 hrs to get 2 parts makes me wonder if a fender and splash guard is worth the drive. More than likely if u have the parts my dumb-butt will be driving to see you. Heck i drove all the way to NY to get the rust bucket so whats another 8 to have the body work completed.

    TYVM Chirt :D if you look at the pic i posted with the old quarter cut out, the door on that side will be the final color. I know thats not the blue you where asking about but it is the door off of the first 1 i did and only got to drive for a month or so, before it got slamed by a mini-van driving, cell phone using, soccer mom. Apperently the conversation was more important than the year and a half i had put into it :slap: !! I checked out the pics of your ride the other night very nice work:clap:

    LOL yeah well everyone was ok and the kid and wife were not in the car at the time so the only thing i lost was labor time and luckly i had several people checking out my car when she hit it (witnesses) insuance cover all parts from motor to quarters. with no labor inclueded i got just over 8k and got to keep the wreck. Got this 1 from NY and transfered motor, trans, rear end and pedals in a weekend and was back on the road but never had the same feel as the 1st one No fresh pretty paint but the body was half way str8 :chirp:

    Hey Chirt i never got a chance to flat black stripe my first car i did, so before i put this one on the road it will have stripes. When i found this forum i was planning on using the stripe lay out of a 70 BOSS mustang. Then i saw your red mav BINGO thats the stripe i want!!!!!! It isnt trade marked is it :D

    thats pretty close to the color mine might be a few shades darker, when i first painted the car i wasnt sure about the blue i had put on it, then i saw it at sunset it kinda turns purple looks really cool at about 6:30-7ish.. it will be in color in a few months i'll be sure to post pics (y)

    Will do chirt, where would be the correct place on the forum to post pics other than my car? My brother has 2 he has done from the ground up. 1 isnt a FORD and i'm not real sure i should post a pic of a chevy on this site. New here and dont want to offend anyone. :scratchchin:

    Yeah, I think most of us prefer to stick with the Ford stuff on this forum although I'm sure some people would like to see it. May want to post it in off topic or somethingif you do. JMO :)
