Novi's Proletariat Garage

My boss has a FJ. They're fun. I'd rather have one of those than a Wrangler.

It's definitely more year-round worthy than a Wrangler -- also a better ride than the two-door Wrangler.

You can see that he painted this side mirrors black vs the stock silver.

Coming back to the Wheel Game, I'm thinking about these 18" FR500's. 9" wide shoe in front, 10" wide in the rear.



Trying to figure out if this pic is a repaint... that shade of yellow *might* be Screaming Yellow but AFAIK that shade was only offered on the Cobra.

Lazy Oaf Lounge looks choice!

HDR yellow? I like the rims.

[novicius]

Yep there's some post-prod work on the pic, sure -- but the standard Mustang GT (and much more pale) Zinc Yellow would never mix to a saturation with that much orange in it...

Dammit, I think I'm wrong again. Still looking at pics but it's tough to get the shade right due to different lighting and people's post-production work.

Basically Ford alternates between a pale yellow and a more orangish yellow. My guess is that this car is the latter and just got bleached in Photoshop.

[21Kid]

You're thinking about it too much.

[novicius]

Definitely.

[novicius]

I am still thinking about what look or classic touches I'd want to go with -- that ISN'T all Boss 302 louvers and wings and shit.

Maybe a spoiler-delete and C-stripe?

[thesameguy]

With the right front end it could work, but you gotta go to extra pains to make the spoiler delete work right on New Edge cars. C-stripe I think can work, but I'd also be cautious about too much blacknyella. Adornment overkill.
