I'm guessing that sometime in the spring it will be somewhat done. We'll see tho, dont wanna get my hopes up! Thanks for the comments guys! They keep me going!!!!

I just finished the door and got it in prime. I am on schedule to have the hatch, doors and fenders mounted on the car for GOOD on saturday. Now, I need some help, I was thinking about whether I should badge this car as a GT or not. I had the 05-09 GT badges on my 89 and loved them, but part of me is saying no cause this car is originally a LX. And yes the side skirts are going to be GT skirts so I dunno. I kinda like this badge, its different, I just wanna know how big it is........

allballsmustang · Dec 17, 2009

i vote no badges... with those colors it will look so good with just a clean look imo

jim

MAC'n89Blckstng · Dec 17, 2009

Where the hell have you been jim?! And I'm up in the air, I like the retro look of those badges. I think having the red and blue on there may break it up a bit.

mob · Dec 17, 2009

Another vote for no badges. Nice progress, its been a while since you worked on this thing right? Or maybe Im just behind.

Tanus · Dec 18, 2009

MAC'n89Blckstng · Dec 18, 2009

Jesse...

Badgeless short of the front Ford or Running Pony emblem (depending on the grill)

MAC'n89Blckstng · Dec 18, 2009

I always ran a ford emblem in my Cobra insert so I think im going to do that. I'm gonna do a little hot rod inspired thing in the hatch, I think alot of people aren't going to like it but I've always wanted to do it. I wont be doing as I can't do it. It probably wont happen til a while after paint but I think its gonna be cool.

allballsmustang · Dec 18, 2009

haha havent been on stangnet that much lately, lots of stuff going on elsewhere but i just heard from ronnie about spring swap, im guessin the whole clan is goin?

MAC'n89Blckstng · Dec 18, 2009

yea yea yea, gonna be a blast

MAC'n89Blckstng · Dec 19, 2009

I know these pics are pretty much the same pics as I've posted before but this time the panels are on FOR GOOD! I'm finally at that point where all I gotta do it wet sand and shoot the car! Here's a few of how the car sits as of a couple minutes ago.
Here's two pics of the fender jamb all cleaned up, I really like how it looks!

I like this alot too.

hsean · Dec 19, 2009

congrats that is going to look great are you painting the door handles black or body color mine are going to be body color.

MAC'n89Blckstng · Dec 19, 2009

I am going to be painting them body color for sure. Looks alot cleaner imo. An possible the outer ring of the lock cylinder so it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb.

Thats the next step! That and weatherstripping, I just gotta either save or get a credit card for those two cause I aint got that coin right now for that stuff!

good thing if you look at newer cars nowadays they're all usually painted body color.i loved when the asc mclarens painted all the trim on their cars it gave it a custom look .
