wedgewood is a bit lighter blue in comparison. It’s a lot closer to the true blue of my mustang than it is to wedgewood. I could probably get a shot of mine next to the 99 expedition at my parents house on Saturday to really see how close they are.

I'm not surprised that they feel similar. Numbers don't lie.

I think Booze Brothers Racing Shop[Charlie Booze Jr and Brian Booze are the owners]and i think it's in Marion,PA he races a Mustang in the NMRA series Coyote Stock Class Sealed 5.0 Crate engines!!He's a good guy i've known Charlie and Brian since the Mid 90's when i went to the Ford Motorsport Nationals at Maple Grove Raceway in Reading,PA!! IIRC Charlie lived in Greencastle years ago!!

I had the 2.7 Eco Boost[the first year for it] in the 2015 F-150 Super Cab 4X4 i had it had 3.55 Gears and it ran a 14.53@93 mph Bone Stock that engine really impressed me!! FWIW when i got it i had a couple of 3.5 Eco Boost Super Cab 4X4's before that and thought well i'll drive the 5.0 in the Aluminum Body and see how i like it!! I drove it then the 2.7 Eco Boost Truck and liked the 2.7 Eco Boost more than the 5.0 i loved the 2015 here's a Picture!!
