A Change in direction for my Mark

[viiiball]

I know I have posted several changes I would like to make over the winter/ spring months, the biggest was a repaint, but after thinking it over and looking at the cost of a re color repaint, and seeing how my paint is in very good shape,I am going to keep it white, The plan is : BODY---
to pull the parking lot dings,repair or replace driverside fender(Some A**hole opened their door hard and creased the lip) replace hood(Seems to be cracking & seperating at the front)with a salvage yard piece or aftermarket cobra(if I can find).
Then I am going to white out all the chrome trim pieces and grill (LSC style)except the 1/4 rear chrome.
I will be replacing the factory buckets with the summit pieces and adding carbon fiber trim with a couple cool accents(cobrastar emblem,when available) I will also be looking for a Cobra rear for posi and gears.

For Wheels....i am undecided...but i saw some cobra r's powder coated black,with cobrastar centers i think they would look sick on my ride with its lowered stance.
along with this makeover will be new tint,new mufflers,and some engine upgrades as well as redoing the C/A.
so in the coming months I will be selling some things, i'll list as I sell, but it will be first come first serve.
the first couple things will be the front buckets and factory directional wheels. I'll keep you posted.
any feedback is welcome,any help locating the parts i am looking for also appreciated. I am getting excited. :N :Beer :L :feedback

Those wheels look SIC.....I like them.....and I am not a black wheel fan either....but they look SIC!!!!

As for the hood......the only place right now that I know of that you can get a Cobra hood is FastGlas (used to be Legendary). His number is 1-800-346-2426 and his name is Larry....just leave a message with all your info and number(s) where you can be reached and he will get back to you.

Sounds like you have the makings of a sweet Mark......too bad the paint color change is not in the budget....but sounds like you have it all figured out......good luck!

I know I will need some of that luck....LOL!

yeah!!! and I think they will set the White in the Mark off...It will be sweeeeet, does fast glass have a website? and how close are we on the speed hut speedos? i had a white and blue thing going on with my mark (see garage photos) but the blue will be gone too! :Beer

Ray ~~~ and what exactly is wrong with a pearlescent white Mark may I ask?

Not a thing....I was saying that because he had his mind/heart set on a color change, and it is not in the budget......trust me....I know the feeling......

No, they do not have a website.....you have to call him to get things rolling.

For the speedo's....at this rate I doubt it will ever happen.....over a year and only 15 pre-orders......if we EVER get the 25 they will be off......but as it stands now it is not lookin too good.......

Yes I really wanted AZURE BLUE which is the Mach 1 color...but after prep, bodywork, and all thats included in a color change...to do it right would be $$$$$$, staying the same color , i just need to pull dents , fix a couple spots, and respray the front bumper cover,and cover chrome, a lot less expensive......but what should my contrast color be....with black wheels....jst black? I dunno open to suggestions, I think I'll either get red or purple plug wires...thats a start! :N

I also really like those black rims.......and since you will be soo happy with those...I was wondering if your directional rims are chrome...if they are in good shape, and what u might be askin for them........ u said 1st come 1st serve so i thought i'd be early.

how bout powdwe coating the directionals black , might have to photoshop :Beer

 

[indust82]

having black directionals would be unique....but I don't know if I could afford after paying for the rims themselves. If you could post a picture or email it to me so i can see how bad the bubbles are.....it probably won't effect if i want them...but may effect what i'd be willing to pay. Thanks alot
