And installed the new hood from Dynacorn. This has to be the best fitting repop hood I have done yet.

I need to find a shop like yours in my neck of the woods, mainly just for Body and Structure. I have a 69 coupe that has been in the family since new (Mom bought it), but it needs some serious body work coming out of Illinois and it was a daily driver.

Great looking work...

Thanks! Where are you located?




Nice!

My first Mustang had a 351W and C4 automatic and I've partial to the engine ever since.

Keep up the good work!


Thanks!

Looks nice. Roughly a year has elapsed since the original post- how many hours do you have on it so far? People always fail to appreciate the sheer amount of labor with decent paint and body.
