Newby Here '70 Mach 1 - Just Painted

[Petrolhead]

Hey,
In the middle of restoring my '70 Mach 1. Paint is going on after a full out resto. Originally a 351 4V, Shaker with Air car - Dark Ivy Green Metallic. Changing the paint, to 2003 Lamborghini Orange with 2009 Chev White pearl Le Mans stripes!! Also changed my tail lights to Shelby style tail lights. Going to go with 17" wheels, still unsure what to style to go with, and Firehawk F1 tires, going to go with the widest I can get on the back and a little narrower up front. Motor is 351C bored .30 over and stroked to 393 with ADP aluminum heads, Performer Intake (to keep my shaker height stock) and 750 carb, with ceramic headers. 3.55 gears in the 9", cause I plan on driving to all the shows! I will post a few pic's in a few days when the paint is done.

Can see the pic's of the car - still in the paint booth in the - 1970 Mach 1 Pictures section

Cheers

I have considered painting a car that same color of orange myself. Should look pretty cool when finished.

Petrolhead,

How is your car coming along? Last we knew back in February was that the car was painted and ready to be put back together. Hopefully by now you have been able to accomplish all of that and have it ready to go for the summer. We'd love to see the results and hear what you think of the total outcome.

Load us up with some pictures - we can handle it!

Moss,

Is that part of your stable? Nice house in the background.
