The 99/01 cobra bumper fits the mach hood perfectly. But I like to make my own versions of how they should have come anyway.

This totally makes sense to me because that's what Ford did when they created the Mach and the Bullit.

For the most part, the extra aesthetics were arbitrary shelf-grabs until somebody said, "Yep... That'll do".

This was the first set of BBS RK plasmas I acquired. They came from California and were on a low mile CO mach 1 that the owner was selling. Seems only right to marry them to my Mach.

Do you color sanding then clearcoat?

Probably not because you are that good, but thought I would ask

I do build on my clear. So I do base and then 5-6 coats of clear. Block the clear down flat then 3-4 wet smooth coats. Block and cut with 8 grades of paper, then buff and polish.

All in a day at the shop.

I love bodywork
I could watch someone do it all day long!.

I love watching this build. I love how that paint just pops. I hope that my Bullitt pops like that once I finally get around to the body work.

Ahhhhhh!!! I hate your paint jobs!!!
I'm looking at the deck lid and I'm like WTF???
I expanded it and it's a reflection of like an inflatable room.
Tell me, can you shave your face in your reflection on a full moon light?
Those paint jobs must glow at night,
