HI Folks, first time on this site. It looks like a very active one. I have a couple questions for anyone that can help. I have a 1965 Mustang GT. I have had it for 25 years. This car which when I bought it was a blue turquoise color..(which almost made me not buy the car). My love was my 1966 Emberglow Mustang I had when I was a kid. Well we painted it Emberglow 24 years ago. Now all these years later we are completely restoring the car. It was a California car so it is really nice shape. Almost no rust. I think he found several holes the size of a pencil eraser.

I am dealing with still not painting it the orginial color as I really just do not like it. The thought of putting all this money in the car and painting it that color ..ewww.. But I do have some questions.

The engine compartment..? Should it be painted black or the same color as the car. Also the under carrage.. What color should I have that painted.

I know "why would you worry about that when you are changing the color of the car". Nuts... I guess, but wanted to know what the color should be, then I will make the decision on what to do.

I have also had motor rebuilt, new windshield, interior and chrome. It will be with me till the end I hope. Anyway thanks for any info and really glad I ran on to this great site. Thanks,

I am looking for a 65 as we speak.  i would paint it what ever color that you would like but do the undercarriage and under the hood the same color.  i think that these cars look great like that.  Welcome to the forum.
