Steve Baur the editor of Modified Mustangs & Fords Magazine asked if I would give 20 tips on how to do a paint job and wanted me to paint the Coupe for a future bodywork issue.

I have the doors and fenders painted





I epoxy primed the body yesterday with SPI white and today we are wet sanding getting ready for paint.

Rusty,
I can't wait to see this car fully assembled and some pics (or vids) of you "undercoating" the rear wheel wells with molten rubber!

According to Rusty, the wheels are Edelbrock 454. I've hunted and found them to be no longer made but someone (Iforgot who) makes a clone of them. I agree that they are awesome!

horse sence,
Actually, here is a link:

http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=454+Wheels&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

Jegs seems to have the best price I've seen. Only seem to be available in 17 x 8/4-1/4 back space.
