Progress Thread "Rising from Ashes 9" 04 Mach 1 build

[95steedamustang]

Paint work done. For now

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".

NOS Fender emblem. All
Cleaned up and buffed/polished out.

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.

Final polish on the new paint.

Show time for the Mach.

Time to do some more paintwork on some cobra side skirts.

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.
imagine, sanding a whole car 8 times, after you do all that bodywork which, btw involves sanding
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.

 

[95steedamustang]

No shows this time….only go.

 

[95steedamustang]

Next phase. Hate the regular mustang bumper.
So time to shave a Cobra one.

 

[95steedamustang]

Paint time again. I also did a 04 cobra trunk and spoiler but I Think I’ll keep the stock mach trunk and spoiler for now. But if I want to switch for a while. I can

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,
