    Thanks everyone!  The color is GM Victory Red.  My wife picked the color and at first I wasn't sold on it but now I really like it.  Just another RED Mustang!!!

    Looks very sharp, and take Derek's advice.  It's so easy to scratch one when you're putting things back together.

    That's a great milestone.  Good luck with your reassembly.  I like the color.

    Wow - looks really great! "Pull me over Red" color, eh? Take care not to scratch it while you put the Mustang back together.
