Default just wanted to see what you guys think

hey i just had my 1992 mustang painted and wanted to get reactions with the new color. when i bought it , it was painted orange metalic and i didnnt like it but the price was right

is no long has the euro light i couldnt stand them





this is the new color i took it with my razr phone so the pic quality sucks i had to mess with it a bit on the computer to get it close to how it looks

new paint looks more like a nice factory color. But I really like orange cars.

I like Mustangs, but not that era of them. New color looks nice though.

i picked this era because it was EFI and still used the pushrod V8 my dad u to wirk on old school v8 when i was small so after he passed away when i was 11 i thought i would learn what i could by doing all my work myself and i built my first mustang a 90 look just like this one but black all on my own and must admit like all beginers i made some mistakes so now with this one i have a clean sheet of paper to work with and its comming along very well i would say right now the motor is making about 275 at the flywheels i havnt dynoed it cause as far as i know there isnt one here but i have my supercharger im my garage that needs to go on i had it from my previeose mustang

i personally think that orange is too much of a "look at me" color ... not that "look at me" is bad, but it really attracts unwanted attention, especially from theives and cops.
