    Very productive weekend. The quarter windows, door trim, side view mirrors and hatch are on. The LMR quarters overall fit okay. There’s a few spots we had to work with to get the rubber to lay flat on the quarter panel. Overall we like them without the “mustang” lettering. It...

    Okay. I think harbor freight has one. Will that fit the bill?

    Except for one small spot we need to hit again, everything but the hood is wet sanded and polished. Assembly officially starts Saturday!

    Yes it was. I’m going to have to do it one more time on my car. Is there an easier way, like a pneumatic rivet gun?

    Did a few small things today. Installed the door locks and handles. Talk about pucker factor, we double and triple taped that area around the door with blue tape. Then taped some shower towels to that with duct tape. I still wasn’t prepared or comfortable with the amount of force it took to...

    After working on this thing tirelessly for almost 6 months and having it damn near perfect, we decided to to fix it right. We sanded all the clear and taped it up again, leaving only the A pillars, roof, C pillars and quarters. Then shot the whole thing clear. I’m extremely happy...

    We stupidly tried to fix the sand through the quick way...and made it way worse. Here it is after sanding down our rediculously stupid attemp. Looks pretty bad. After watching some videos and asking local guys for advice, this is what we did. Because our sanding left a low spot. We put...

    Unfortunately, we sanded through chasing a fairly large dust nib. It’s right below the passenger side quarter window. Guess we’ll have to learn how to blend.

    Well, we cut and buffed the roof today, and all I got to say is, we’re totally pleased with the results. How it looked in base had me worried. And it looked even worse when putting the clear on. But after sanding it flat and polishing, we are completely satisfied. We also installed the...

    Paint and Body Fox Body Painting 101

    I’m not near as experienced as others who might replay, but I’ll throw in my 2 cents as I’ve sprayed a lot of primer the last 6 months. Mid temp activator is all my paint store has provided for primers. They’ve provided it for both summer and winter painting. I’ve sprayed it those temps with...

    Thanks. I might contact you for more details when I get closer to painting my car. Thanks. It is a really nice color. It’s hard to do it justice with my phone.

    I know it’s been a while, this paint has flat out beat us down. The hood and roof (large horizontal surfaces) have been really difficult to get even coverage without striping and dry spraying. I bought a legit paint gun, painted a bunch of spare parts for practice, and even went to a slower...

    Thinking of ditching my e fans

    For those of you that have the motor trend app, engine masters tested this. All losses were based on the baseline run without a fan. They even went to the trouble of mocking up a radiator and a shroud to fully load the fans. Clutch driven fan: -14hp Plastic flex: -24hp Aluminum flex: -20hp...

    Close up of some of the bad spots in the bumper. Some shots of the hood. Hard to take a photo showing the uneven metallic, but you get the idea. Now for the major setback. We tried to paint the body yesterday but ran into multiple issues. Runs in the sealer, runs in the base and the same...

    Some more progress and some setbacks. One of them major. The top of the hood and hatch are painted. Going to have to redo the hood. The metallic base is not even. The lighting in the shop basically hid the one bad spot. Front bumper and cobra spoiler are painted. These came out...
