Thanks! Glad you like it. I had it matched to the car, but I believe it to be Fords stock Medium Bright blue metallic for 1970. Looks brighter with the camera flash. I am just stoked to be done with all the dirty work. I am ready to start putting this thing back together. :ecit

That does look good. :10 How about some pictures that show the rest of you Mach 1?

That looks real good. Might I suggest a black or gold engine to offset the blue.

Actually, was going with the aluminum/polished aluminum/chrome theme under the hood. Hopefully it will come off looking something like the Cuda only in metallic blue.

This is it when I got it in January, and the second picture is what it looks like at the moment

Darn, I did't get to post before you painted your engine compartment! I painted my engine compartment the same as my stang~ I just wanted the engine compartment to COME TO LIFE, when opening the hood! I know it will be a pain to keep clean, but it probably will never be driven at the rate I'm going! lol I like what you've done, and it is a project, and whatever you do to your stang is directly influenced by your personality and thus reflects your personality! Anyway, that's why they made Gunk for dirty engines! :craz

Looks sharp Mike! I wanted to paint mine the body color, but Grabber Blue would be a bit too bright for my tastes.....that and I'm not sure I'd have the patience to sand all the nook and cranny's that the engine bay panels have!!!
