Who says you can't do a black car with gold stripes and not put GT-350H on the side? Frankly unless you actually went the distance to put all the GT parts and components on it I don't think it's right to put GT-anything on the side. Copy the paint scheme and parts and components all you want, but until you've got it completely done, keep the GT badging off of it, besides, it's not really a huge deal to not have those letters and numbers on the side- especially since it's a coupe.
id much rather have the dark green and gold hertz. ive been tossing around the idea of putting the gold stripes on mine but havent decided yet. might end up just doing white
I say go for it, gold makes everything sexier. Is there anything you could put in to get a idea of what itd look like.

I will just leave the letters off. I dont want it to be more odd than it already will be.

red and gold do good together but the thing to rember is you have to look at it everyday i dont know if ill get tired of it..
i found a company that sells color changing paint thinking about doing the whit to black paint then it would be deifferent colors depending on the temps

what i don't get is that your transforming a coupe into a kinda shelby thing and at the same time you're worried what people might think about a hertz colour combination on that :-)
do whatever you like! and the suggestion below sounds like a nice idea ===== Ok, hows about black with gold stipes, shelby hood, brake scoops, cool tach pod, and NO shelby emblems. All regular emblems. This way it just looks like a highly modified coupe, with good taste. =====

aye. those stripes are awesome. I will stay away from those go-faster-stripes myself as people over here recognise this and fart-cans as quick car and I would have to put up with all those boyracer bolloxes at the traffic light. I'm considering those nice stripes at the rocker panel though. like them ;-)

I'm particularly fond of the E2 body kit. I think it just looks badass, except for the two fog lights outside of the grill next to the headlights. IMO you should just go somewhat Shelby, no Cobra badges, in fact no badges at all if you want something really clean looking. Check out this car and tell us what you think.

I'm with fast65. great looking car.
shelby didnt make coupes or hertzes in 65, so why limit yourself to hertz color schemes?
why not pinch the body bits you want (the early shelby hood scoops look so tough on any 65/66 car) and paint it in your own scheme.
Black with silver looks great and you wouldnt be doing a half a$$ed clone then. Black with charcoal, black with matt black, black with....?

that picture is my background. everywhere. home, work, and school. Best car I have seen in a long time.
to the OP: our cars will end up being long lost twins or something. I have VERY similar plans. Definitely black, as henry ford said, "you can have any color, so long as its black". I cant decide on stripes tho.
Really tho, just make it what you want. Dont worry about what ppl are gonna think, its not their car. I would agree not to do the clone thing tho. Unless you are doing an exact replica, I wouldnt go through the trouble... Just build a restomod that is what you want.

kinda a cross between the shelby and the eleanor...shealanor? eleaby?

Pick a color and modifications that suit YOU. To consider what the "mustang community" might think of your choices is pointless. It's your car. Have fun with it. I guess when I decided to add a diffrent front valance, hood, aluminum heads, MSD ignition, battery mounted in trunk, Versailles rear...blah blah blah... I made a few folks cringe. Oh well.... and on top of that, I painted it a really cool tri-stage white (like you see on new Lexus').... It looks unbelievable...(to me anyway!)... Point is, do it your way.

Oh yeah!?!
Well the other day I saw a Mustang and a Camaro that not only changed colors, but that stood up and turned into giant robots to battle over humanity!
... oh wait. I was thinking of something else... never mind.

i've seen that color changing paint...imo theres something very RICER about it
its the kinda thing you see on a car that has 20" wheels with a fart can, dangly bling on the rearview mirror and the full complement of Nismo, Dismo, Elmer Fud and Kenwood stickers down the side.
oh...and not one single thing on the car to improve its performance except the 2 tone paint which as you all know improves its drag coefficient thereby increasing its hp in inverse proportion to the drivers wang
sorry to jack the thread...couldnt resist rmodel
