Some dam good work done right there, nice.
I'm feeling so blessed after looking at all the rust you had to deal with, here in the Nevada desert it's hot as Hell but dry.

Yea. I knew it going in. OH car but was an orginial owner so It should go to someone who can save it. My 98 Saleen came from Vegas. I flew out and drove it back. No rust just a crap
Load of dust and dirt

Body work done on pass quarter. This panel
Only had 1 ding. Everything else was correcting factory ripples and stamping problems

Really digging the sail panels.

And now the fun begins all over again.

This is a huge step for me. Everything stripped is now in epoxy. Engine bay metal work officially done and sealed. Some overnight early morning spraying

Watching this thread....... I so want to do this to my car! ....... so please stop posting pictures. Lol.

 

[Noobz347]

Mine needs it too. At least it's a hard-top but... everything else.

Got the epoxy on the door blocked down tonight. Its been sitting in epoxy for 30 days now.

 

[95steedamustang]

Started back on the driver door. Earlier in the thread. I stripped the outer panel to bare metal. And then 3 coats epoxy. Now its time to
Fix some rust and get it in good shape

Now to cut back to good metal and grind down the inside

 

[95steedamustang]

Tomorrow Feb 11th will mark 3 full
Months since I started on this one.

Todays work…getting this door in shape

More epoxy because of all that bare metal

Well. I have several updates on the 85 because I went into OT to get everything in 2k
Primer. As mentioned above today was 3 months on this car. Sadly it will be going on the back burner after today because I have lots of waiting projects needing my attention. Anyway.
Doors both in 2 K primer. Also another round of blocking the driver fender and more primer

 

[Rdub6]

I’m sure we’ll be seeing plenty of pics of those other projects while we wait in suspense on the ‘85.

 

[General karthief]

Gotta pay dem bills

Nice man. Kinda like the patina. But you’d be surprised what I can make happen on a cool project.
