After many months of prep work and replacing my suspension plus pinching pennies, I am sending my car to the body shop, a Mustangs only shop at that. I won't see her for three months

But I will be pretty damn excited in October.

I keep telling my wife that the 37 year old car is getting a boob job!!

Fix quater panel damage, replace R fender, fix L fender, frame pull, align body panels, replace roof welds, new window weatherstrip, new bumper, strip to metal and primer coat.

I plan to get her back add new wheels and tires and send her off for paint. It should all be done in time for shows next spring. This has been 14 years in the making.

Very cool. I'm jealous!

Make sure you check back here in about 10 years so you can check out my pics as my car is headed to the body shop... I should have enough saved by then

Don't forget to get progress pics!

initial estimate is 2-3k but I am sure it will go up. Put 6k+ into the motor so I feel I should be willing to do the same for the body.
