I'm really leaning on leadfoot grey for that car. Originally it was some sort of dark metallic with red Cobra graphics.

I think this new color will really set this fox nicely. Will have traditional Cobra graphics with more modern twist to the colors too (flat black, red and silver). Lowered and I think I will upgrade the bullets to something nicer as well to better show off the 4 wheel disc (PBR up front, maybe Cobras, not sure yet). Interior will be the stock factory black with reupholstered '79 Recaros (front and back). Engine bay will be tucked and smoothed featuring an FiTech carb and modern accessory drive.

It won't look like every other fox, handle like a beast, be perfectly detailed, inside, out, top and bottom, perfect drivability with AC, EFI, etc... hell, will be too hard to sell it :D

Sorry, but I’m not a fan of that colour. To me it looks like shiny gray primer.

Hey Steve! I really like that color too. With some orange or lime green accents...Oh Man...Can't wait to see it.

LOL it does look like primer a bit and that was my first reaction when I saw an F150 like that. But I think it will work well on the small car. Accents will be red sort of the same colors as the F150 sport package decals. It's going to be a sweet little fox for sure. Love that Cobra front end (like the 82GT), probably the best looking fox bumper ever made.

For some reason I gravitate towards that Leadfoot Gray "Primer" colour. Post #13664 http://www.torontomustangclub.ca/forums/showthread.php?145-Post-whatever-is-on-your-mind!!/page342
