The thing with doing the work like this is it will last, unless you park it on the beach in Daytona for a week it will be around and likely rust and rattle free 25 years from now.

Perfect segway for todays work. I seam sealed everything. Ford seam sealed over bare metal so many believe thats ok. But every car that I chip the seam sealer off, theres always rust under it in places. So I epoxy everything then seam seal on top of it. Epoxy seals the metal and is a direct to bare metal product. Also got the coilovers and brackets set up so everything can be welded

Impeccable work as always. You are a very talented individual indeed.
If I had $60k to buy a new car I would buy a 3k hooptie and give you my fox and the remaining cash and let you have at it.

Time to push the 85 into a corner and let it sit and shink and cure out.

That’s like me doing drywall. Lol. Not great at applying the mud, but pretty good at sanding!
