Very sharp car! I've said it before but I love that color combo. One question though, did you apply 5x Natty's in one day and were they all with the PC? I see that you are a dedicated Poorboys user :)
 
Having just detailed a Mach1 in the same color I can appreciate the shine you achieved. I'm sure you didn't let waterspots and bird doody etch all the way through the clear coat though. Great job on the detail, but I'm a bit more interested in whats under the hood. I've seen that you've taken out the functionality of the shaker for a little FI action. Got any HP numbers and parts specs? Sorry to get off subject, but I appreciate cars to the fullest and really appreciate tasteful modifacations. The paint does look really good though!
 
Heck yeah poorboy's all the way......Actually I did two layer's of EX-P in one day...I put one layer on let dry, wiped off and then put another one on just to make sure I covered every area...then after close to 24hrs. I applied four layers of Natty's Blue in one day.....all of this was done about 2 weeks ago......then yesterday I put on another layer of Natty's just to keep it touched up....
 
:thanks

Thanks for all the compliments...the shine on the paint is good but there are still imperfections that I just couldn't seem to get rid of...those are the spots I see and I guess no one else can (so my fiance says).....:confused:

As far as the motor goes.....I am running a Procharger P1SC at somewhere around 8psi and I am putting out about 425hp at the rear wheel....Bassani X and catback....Tokico shocks/struts....Eibach springs and all of the stuff that goes along with the Supercharger....

Yeah, the paint is really hard to get perfect. It does not want to let go of the small swirls/spiderwebbing that it has. That blue doesn't help much with hiding them in direct sunlight either.

Nice setup you have as far as the motor goes. It looks like you are using some good quality parts. Do you have any problems putting the power down to the ground? Any future plans?
 
Those wheels really look good on there too.

I notice you're running what looks like the old tread KDW's. How do you like those tires? I'm debating on whether it's worth it to spend the extra money to pick them up for the wet traction. And how's the noise? That was (and still is actually) one of the biggest complaints on the original tread design, and was made a smidge quieter in the new tread (KDW2), but still fairly loud from what I've read. Unfortunately, with the tire size I'm going to, they're not making the new tread yet. :(
 
Audiboy: As far as putting the power to the ground, it delivers it pretty well but it is hard to keep traction. Through first and second it seems as all the tires do is spin, not hook up.

kaos: Noise is a little loud but not too bad at all, as far as handling goes and wet traction, the tires are great I have never had a problem out of them. In corners the hook up really well.
 
Your car looks GREAT! And don't worry about some inperfections its a ford thing the spiderwebing and swirls comes free from the factory I have tried everything to get rid of them from SSR2.5 with orange LC pad. I got to the point not to worry anymore the swirls really can't be seen unless you look really close but you have a fine looking motor car there injoy it!:bow :hail
 
AWESOME...another Mach 1 owner on the site besides myself! Car looks great man. As soon as I get some time I'm going to detail my Mach 1 and post new pics of it. Azure Blue is def. the best color for the Machs but Torch Red is faster! Well, actually not since you have a supercharger under the hood:lmfao
