Hey that's my old car!

Glad to see it's making some good progress.

Good grief. I just went back and reviewed the posts on this car, and can't believe I've had it for 3 years+.
It will be Sunlit Gold (original color) with Deluxe Nugget Gold interior, Black CS striping, and perhaps Black hood stripe.
I've already got a TON of new parts waiting for the car to come out of the paint shop: all new suspension (front & rear), interior, upgraded A/C, console. And possibly Shelby wheels.
I'll check compression & oil pressure to determine engine status, but I'll have to pull it out anyway to clean/detail the engine & engine bay.

So as not to disappoint my 'son' Rob:

I second that choice!! A Shiny black is hard to beat!! A bugger to keep clean and streak free but oh how it glistens....

My first mustang was a triple black and it was gorgeous! Looks like you're going to need to kick out a tenant soon. Any developments on the "garage" close to home?

Black with Gold stripe, Dad!!

 

[franklinair]

Rob; That's correct.
Gold stripes, Deluxe Gold interior, Shelby 10 spokes. Plus the factory A/C, P/S, P/B, C-4. Plus AM/FM. :icon_ecst

Properly installed.:wink:

That is going to look incredible!!! And with a gold window sticker.

10 spokes are easy once you know the trick (tightening lug nuts).
(I've lost that photo of my Yellow CS. Would liked to have saved it for posterity, maybe even make an 8 X 10 photo copy!!)

That is going to be sooooo cool! Neil, your cars are high quality restorations, so this will be one of the best around. I can't wait to see the finished product.

Stick with the 10 spokes (unless you can get a set of 65 Cragars like mine)

Yep, that's the one. The photos were in my digital camera that dumped.
Nice to have a visual reminder of one's finer moments.

What exactly happened and why?

 

[franklinair]

Some dimwit (me) failed to torque the lugnuts on that wheel.
