Progress Thread “Rising from Ashes 7” 85 GT T-Top build thread

Damn... You should think about doing one of these sometime too:

A couple of my favorites They look more 'Pontiac-ish'.

I dunno... I have a blood/DNA thing for 4 eyes

My only excuse is that 90% of my Matchbox cars were production cars.

The rest were mostly gifts from people that didn't know any better.

My Fox was the first 'dream car' that I ever got.

Another nice looking 4 eye is my dream “non Mustang” car

In a corner just curing out.

And yet it still looks so good “just sitting in the corner”

 

[Noobz347]

Oh, Oh!


...and one of these!

Headed for MM subframe connectors and then into storage to let the bodywork cure out. Another one headed toward paint now.

I see that you stock the finest in [tie down wheels].

Color reveal time..I started with the factory Jalapeño red color formula and tweaked it like I do many of my colors now. Its a one off version.

 

[Noobz347]

I'm sure there's a joke in there somewhere.

But all you get is this instead.

 

[Willybill32]

Well, I guess not. Just stripping it to the metal and get me 30 gallons of primer

Hmmm...this looks eerily familiar!

It should. Do them right or dont do them at all.
But a T-Top roof is much less to strip. Ha ha!

 

[95steedamustang]

Subframes…check

 

[General karthief]

Aww crap, he painted them the wrong color white, should have been lite white not dark white

I’ll correct that when I painted the bottom of the car

 

[95steedamustang]

Honestly I'm more surprised at the way that jack stand looks... I expect it for the stuff coming off the car but I didn't know the jack stands came with it.

Like everything else. In time I even restore jackstands. Sandblasted and coated now. Better than any you can buy

 

[Olivethefet]

Of course you do.

 

[General karthief]
