Please comment on Silverback's proposed graphics scheme. Can be in a light blue.

Thanks, Pat

I like the 'idea' of it, but I think it needs to follow the belt line a little better.

Where it's thicker in the back you could have "Marauder" added in...

Pat, I like it in the Silver Gray combo as shown. Didn't MarauderTJA have a very similar scheme on his car? It was featured in "Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords" a couple years ago (January 2010)IIRC. Here's the thread >>>>> http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/showthread.php?t=58243

Here is the MM&FF article and photo spread on Tom's car >>>>> http://www.musclemustangfastfords.com/features/mmfp_0904_2004_mercury_maraude r/

Here are some of the pics from the MM&FF photo shoot ..... almost exactly the same graphic as the Mustang below >>>>> http://www.musclemustangfastfords.com/features/mmfp_0904_2004_mercury_maraude r/photo_02.html

Here it is on his Mustang. He did a similar pattern on his MM; but I can't find a good pic in the Gallery.

Don't think the light blue would work as well.

No, no checkered flag. Too much like taxis and "official pace car" graphics.

My opinion is useless... but I do not like it. I like lack of graphics and badges...

Unless they say 'PROCHARGER'

This^^^is what thought, too. Let's see some more designs, Pat.

Thanks guys for your comments, I think I'll pass on the checkered design and go back to the drawing board. There are a million images on the net, maybe something for the hood. Later.

I know we're getting into mixed metaphors here, but something along the lines of a 'Cuda stripe or the AAR livery could work well on these cars.

That, or search out some old Ford/Mercury race cars, and see if you can borrow anything from that.

My MOPAR-sense (and it is strong) says stay away from AAR graphics on any FoMoCo product. Just sayin'.......

1969 Mercury Cyclone had specific graphics. Not sure most would understand the link on the Marauder. The only other one I can think of is the Cougar eliminator graphics.

I say no but imo maybe a ghost pattern would look better

It's your car and you can do what ever you like but, that look doesn't do anything for the car...

Have you ever thought about some custom pinstripe work....?

Not a fan of the look, but it's your MARAUDER!

Not feeling it my friend.

A while ago there was a post floating around of a black with 2 matte black stripes right down the middle - hood, roof, trunk.
Maybe you could do that to a silver?

So what are you saying Gary :mad2: :lol:

IMHO I was not fond of Tja's checkers a first. I was thinking I'd have to have a little paint work done. But it looks WAY better in person than in pics so its staying :beer:

Also a silver birch just looks plain boring to me. It needs something anything. A couple bullet hole decals to break up the bland look.

TJA's/your cars graphics are a subdued checkerboard. And gorgeous!

Cobra25' SB is one segzy looking car.
