My kids have been driving this Mustang for quite a while.
After mulling around paint schemes, I had decided on a 2012 Mustang Boss 302 look. It was going to remain white and have black striping, like this:
But then my son got a McQueen and the Mustang became "hers" so I decided to modify the scheme a little. Here is a quick mockup I did with MSPaint:
First, I had worked a trade with Hootie for some parts, one of which was a cowl hood. It was red. I knew that if I painted it white, it would not match the rest of the car, so I would have to paint the entire thing. Being that the hood spends much of its time going up and down and would start to chip immediately, I decided to try my hand at using vinyl to wrap the entire hood. Being my first try, it turned out "okay." I wish I had started on smaller parts to get the knack, but it looks pretty good from 5 feet away.
Here is the tail panel and trunk. The spoiler will be done in pink.
Here is a shot of the side as it stands now.
I am not completely sold on what to do, but my original idea was instead of BOSS 302, I would put BELLA (her name is Isabella) and a princess crown above it. The name will depend on if my sister in law's Cricut can do revers italics. If not, I'll probably just go with the crown and call it good.
Other plans for this in order of completion are:
- finish graphics
- head/fog/tail lamps
- horn
- hood pins
- paint wheels and brake discs
- add 6v boost via CJB turbo timer.
I have a deadline of the graphics, lights, horn and hood pins of late August as it will be mounted on the top of an SUV for a 200 mile relay race (run). More updates to come as the project progresses.
