wow beautiful plans and work!

Thanks!! And just wait until you see the paint job when it's done! It's hard to describe in words so I'll put up pics when it's done, ( so either fri or sat night!!)

[NewOrleans]

well i just went to carquest and got all my stuff for paint. i chose tuxedo black and a brilliant silver.(Both ford colors)but beautiful! so with everything it cost me $383 for 1 pint of silver, 1 pint of black, hardener, reducer, clearcoat, and some tape!
Talk about being extremely excited!!!!!

You are obviously doing a custom job. I hope it comes out nice... But please a custom paint job needs some nice rims. I bought mine for $1000 but sold my $17s for $250. Look around on craigslist. You should be able to find some cheap. As a matter of fact, I know someone with some Konig's with tires that will sell them for $600.

I found a couple for you in your area. Here and here.

These will work even better and you can go crazy with them and paint them gunmetal grey or something.

Where do you work? Get me a job there! My build isn't coming along anywhere near fast enough

Keep up the good work! Your car is coming together really fast. Can't wait to see the pictures after it's done.

Silver is my favorite color on a 6th gen.. I'd just spray some clear coat on it and call it done! But I can't wait to see what the rest of it is going to look like.

[NewOrleans]

And yes the top is black!!

[NewOrleans]

The first time I saw the title, it actually took me a few moments to realize that you meant 'thread' when you typed threat.

It's a play on words.

It looks good, definitely unique. Should be interesting to see how the whole thing ties together.
