the ugly antenna is frenched so yes im keeping it and why would i roll the fenders?

 

[lincolnboy]

French. This is america. Grap a back windshield from a 97-98 and be less wire. Fender roll in case you need some bigger/wider rims/tires.

i dont care where the :q:q:q:q we are im big in customs and i frenched mine if you dont like it send me your address and ill mail you a 200% refund. and i know what rolling the fenders is and it is not needed on this car. ill have my 18 inch billet rims tomorrow night actually and it will not require me to roll the fenders.

 

[lincolnboy]

Geesh some people get to upset on the interwebb.

 

[mikeskustomfab]

Sorry man your new here, Lincolnboy is the village idiot... Just thought I'd fill you in.

 

[mikeskustomfab]

ahh ok thanks

The coolest thing about custom work is doing what YOU like. I think your car is one of the most original customs I have seen. custom... when only what you like really matters.

Yup that's why I'm always asking for help on here.

lol beat me to it, but its been a month since i logged in. i spoke with ray and even he wasnt happy with the trunk lid, said it looked much better in the concept drawings, if only i could find those, i know i saved them somewhere but who knows. over all it looks good

Didn't get much of a chance to know Ray.
Life is short.
If he left the trunk alone he had it nailed.

To my taste.

Keep up the work mikeskustomfab.

 

[kaha]

I think the trunk is waaaay cool, Mike. The cock-eyed plate makes me smile.

[mikeskustomfab]

9 hours in and i didnt get as much done as i wanted to but its all preped masked and the blue toched up where it was needed from the body work

the chrome is all masked off and the base white is shot

there will be lots more tomorrow

 

[mikeskustomfab]

well here it is as of now lost power at the shop over the weekend so i couldnt finish the paint job its still getting one more light blue graphic and pinstriped and shadowed and highlited but that has to wait till this weekend

door jams are done and aleady striped and shadowed so i wouldnt have to clear them twice

and got the front hub conversion done today and stuck the rims on still woring on the back

 

[DieselDan]

Wow...

Just incredible, you are very talented and I am jelous

 

[95MkViii]

wish i had somewhere where i could just paint cars..

damn good work, not my cup of tea. but amazing work!

 

[mikeskustomfab]

mustang hub swap is all complete

 

[danny_holtermann]

Damn that is some mad painting talent, but i just don't see it on a mark, however, you have some silly badass skills

 

[95MkViii]

hey mike... whats up with you mufflers? or what tips are you running...

 

[mikeskustomfab]

there flowmasters with some turn downs

 

[95mark8newyork]

dude thats completely sick! matching the side markers and tail lights to be the same color as the car is a cool idea. you do really good work, reminds me of watching pimp my ride or overhaulin. cars beautiful man, take good care of it. btw the rims look dope

 

[97MarkJA]

Really nice work, I've seen more of the graphic paint jobs coming back. It's like the late 80's and early 90's! Which is great cuz that's when I learned to paint.
Tastefully done it never goes out of style.
My first one was on a Nissan PU, airbrushed on the neon tube look stripes and shadowed them in. I thought it was the chit.... LOL
The materials are so much better now and you get so much more depth to the entire paint scheme.
Looks great man, can't wait to see it all together.

 

[Moes8]

looks great!
