    Time to Graduate #8013, Azula

    I think it's time to graduate Azula (#8013). I've had her together and back on the road since July, but I just finished some paint touch-ups that give me confidence in calling it done. I put 3k miles on her in gelcoat and I've put another 3k miles on it since July.

    [Edit: The color started out as Lincoln Midnight Blue, but it wasn't dark enough for me. After two rounds of darkening, this is what we ended up with.]

    Build details below pictures...














    • Donor build with 1991 Mustang 5.0L and AOD drivetrain
    • Pin-drive width 1998 Lincoln MkVIII IRS and rear brakes
    • Fox spindles and brakes up front with standard width tubular LCAs
    • Unisteer manual rack with Breeze offset bushings
    • SN-95 Cobra master cylinder
    • Breeze braided brake lines
    • Russ Thompson gas pedal
    • Fiero-mod parking brake
    • Summit heater with Ranger bypass valve
    • Breeze hood hinge and prop rod
    • American Racing simulated knock-off wheels from Vintage Wheels
    • Coupe taillights

    Way to go!! I keep telling myself that one day this will be me.

    I love the smooth hood. I'm thinking of doing mine that way as well...

    Fabulous color! Reminds me of Antimatter Blue: almost black in the shade, pops in the sun.

    I actually had a sample of Antimatter Blue sprayed out, before I went to Midnight Blue.
