So I was stripping the tempo to paint/redo the interior and decided to take a few pictures. Here they are.
Btw, BS Customs was meant to stand for Bowles/Shaffer (me and my friend), but I enjoy the other meaning as well. |

| If it were a Chevy it would be an El Ca-Tempo, but its a Ford so it would be a Ran-Tempo.... |

lol...something like that.
And the SHO tire is in there because at the time, it was flat and I needed to get it replaced  As you can see, there is ZERO tread on it...and it finally gave out. |

| Oh speaking of pickup cars, I was in **** yesterday making a delivery for work, and actually saw an ranstang. It was an 85 or 86 mustang hatch originally and they took off the hatch and cut out more metal, welded in a bed. It was very well done, looked like it came that way. |

| That isn't an ordinary shade of red! It's more orange than red and there's nothing wrong with my computer, either!. Is it a factory Ford color? I'll ask again: is it a metallic and if yes does it have clearcoat? |

eh, it looked good in that old picture, but thanks lol. It's not like that anymore.
And yes, it's a stock Ford color. I'm 3rd owner, other 2 were an old woman and younger man. I got the car when it had 27k on it in 2001. Up to 85k now :S But I'm guessing the old lady and the guy didnt' have it painted with only 27k miles on it, so I'd say it's stock. And I swear, it is red. That picture was taken the day I had it waxed, so the sun reflection may make it look a little different. But it's red, I promise. And not metallic.
Edit: I just checked the door in the car, but can't find a paint code on it. IIRC, when I had the scoops painted and put on, they used the cobe EP or something similar. I checked the tech center to see if that was correct, but the paint codes are "coming soon", so wasn't able to verify it. |
