Well, I'm sick of lookin like a cop. Traffic slows too much for me, and all the real cops stare. It's still fun sometimes, but not always anymore. So what do ya'll think I should do? I've been kicking around some stuff, and I want ya'lls input, cause I like to see what other people think. I realize it all comes down to what I like in the end, but it's neat to see what others think.
Exterior:
The big thing here would be a repaint. The white is nice, but it's too blah. I'm thinkin Mopar GoManGo
or Nissan Sunset orange.
I wanna do some kind of graphic on the side, but I'm not sure what color to use. Black would make it look too much like Halloween I think, but I was thinking Boss Mustang stripes and changing the Boss 302 area to P71 289. (So maybe black is best...) I also want different rims, and was thinking the Mustang 17 inch charcoal wheels from 06 and up that look like American racing Torque thrusts. I know they fit because of my time at Ford. I was working on a Vic, and the guy next to me had a Mustang, (lot vehicles,) and curiosity go tthe best of me. We both had wheels off, so I took one of his and put it on the Vic. Looked pretty sharp. I also wanted to add the Marauder front bumper for fog lights, and the Marauder head, marker, and tail lights.
Interior:
Basically, a whole redo. I wanna go to the junkyard, and pull a leather interior from a Grand Marquis, or Crown Vic and install it in my Vic, carpet and all. Only difference being, getting a steering wheel in the same color from a 2005 and up Crown Vic, and seats without the Mercury logos, which maybe be hard to find in a Grand Marquis. I also wanted to add the center console. Sick of not having one. I'm not one for spending money on stereos, so I would probably just use the headunit I have, and add new speakers.
Drivetrain: It's a Mustang motor, but then it's not. It's a 2V 4.6 Liter V8 that's been beefed for police service. It already had true duals, but an H pipe kills the flow. I'm going for a X-pipe, 2 1/4 from cat to muffler, Flowmaster single chambers for mufflers, then 2 1/2 for tailpipes, with some tips. A cold air intake is pretty much the only other power mod I can do. (Sucks) Some other minor stuff as well.
SO what ya'll think. Am I crazy, or just plain dumb? All in all, it won't be expensive (save for the paint, and even then I know someone who does body work for a living.) because I know people in my area that have junkyards. I just like having vehicles that are different, and I would do all the work myself, save again for the paint.

I love the marauder look, and style. If you do the orange with black add a silver accent stripe between, go to www.americanmuscle.com for power adders and wheels.. the black 17" bullet's would look sick with that paint scheme, best bet use photochop and play around with colors.

Personally I'm into the copper-orange or silvers. The Marauder look was one of the best they came up with (for Ford cop cars). SUPERCHARGE that BEEEAAACH! Mod motors love to be pressurized! Just keep boost down to 5 lbs for a stocker.
That reminds me...I should put the heads back on the Super Coupe soon.

Cool. Wasn't sure where the threshold was. I'm a little conservative on my tune-ups just cause I'm getting older and am starting to appreciate trouble free operation. Lifted the heads off the Super Coupe at 23 psi while working up the computer on the chassis dyno. That sounded really cool!

Def go with the Marauder look, no matter what color you paint it it'll look bad ass.. well maybe not pink anyway go with a supercharger

Yah, I wanted to make it as close to a muscle car as I can, cause if ya think about it, its the last true muscle car. Full frame, V8, and rear wheel drive. That's why i want a loud color like orange, and muscle car style rims. I want the marauder parts because they include fog lights, and make it look really agressive.

DUDE No Metal flake Orange/black combo. Maybe go with a Matte black Hood treatment like the 70 Boss or Torino Cobra. How about Grabber Blue, or a Competition Orange.

Tony"s right on that one. They start to look really Halloweenish. I say no black with the oranges. But then again, I'm not into 2 tone anything. Whatever you decide, it's your car. Not mine,

LOL muscle does not a 215-30hp make. Niether muscle or pony cars were fully framed either. Maybe you should check out Crownvic.net. I mean I want to get my hands on a P-71, I love Panthers but it'll never be a Mustang. It just has a 281 v8, and if you want extremem orange nobody does paint better than Mopar. Good luck with your car, I hope to get one and fix it up myself.

I like the black with orange pearl. I really am a fan of the sunset orange, but (and I am sorry!) that might end up being a whole lotta orange. Might look kinda neat with that gradient shading on the windows too - that coloured tint they put on the windows. Jack the back end a little put racing slicks under her.

That was my exact concern rgind, was the Halloween look. Has been from square one. I really like the Boss stripes though. I love orange, but I really think it has to be a Mopar to pull it off, and not look like October 31st. I've been tossing other colors around, like Petty corp blue, Viper Red with gold iridescent (see Jeep Lower Forty concept,) and even good ole Black, with grey striping. (If I did the black, it would be a blacked out car.)
I'm aware of the horsepower "issues," or lack there of. I was plannin on taking care of that. I'm hoping for 12s in the 1/4, but I think that'll take too much. I'd be happy with 14s... Even that's a 3 second improvement over where I'm at now.

Sorry but muscle is what you make of what you have. As for neither muscle or pony cars ever being fully framed? Let's start with one of the original bad boys, the 409 Impala. Lets not forget every Chevelle (SS), Olds Cutlass (442), Buick Skylark (GS, GN, GNX), Ford Galaxie, Torino etc. The Unibodies were the pony cars and all Mopars. Nowadays, A rear drive anything is a treat.
PS. Reb. Creative use of blackouts or stripes is always fun and (mostly) cool. Make it yours.

I honestly can't tell you how many times I've gone through the old paint cabinet and just started mixing until I came up with something 'cool'. I actually came up with an olive green that had a metallic gold tint (imagine that) that looked really neat on an old Dodge P/U beater that I had. Other ones were a teal with silver and a really strange rootbeer brown that tinted to black in certain light. Very odd and completely forget about color matching.

Keeping it. No body wants to give me a fair price, so mods here I come.

Ok, so now that I DID decides to keep it. I've been looking at Cams. Comp seems to offer a good deal on everything I'd need. Just not sure which duration & such to go with because I'm not too familiar with these motors. Again, it may be supercharged one day. I also just ordered some accel spark plugs, and will order accel coils here soon. (Startin off slow. lol) After that, I found a cold air intake kit I like, and a programmer. Exhaust is gonna be custom made by a local shop. Most of this will probably start to happen after X-mas.
Rob, Rgrind, any thoughts, things I should get in addition?

I also decided to go with the Lowerforty Viper red with gold iridecent, with black BOSS mustang stripes. Which leaves me thinking about making the wheels chrome....

I would say just stick to the basics until you decide to supercharge it. The blower specific cams will not work so well without the 'charger so, in my humble opinion, don't crack her open until you are ready for the supercharger. The engines respond well to the basic mods anyways. I doubt you will be disappointed with the air intake/ exhaust combo. Even if it's not really that much faster, it will sure freakin sound like it's going alot faster! Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside!
Picturing the color combo in my head... ( you should feel special cause there's not alot of extra room in there) I'm thinkin' you will have one SWEEEEET lookin' ride! The Gold should set off everything real niccce.

That's what I'll do then. I pulled a couple plugs today, and looked at em. They're a bit fried, so just the plugs and coils might net me some extra power since the coils are factory, and it looks like it's been awhile for the plugs.
Yeah, I'm doin single chamber flowmasters, so it should sound pretty racey. Louder than the one in the vid I posted.
