The Official MACn89blckstng Progress Thread

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........

Thanks guys, you are waaay behind Mob, lol. I've been working on this thing like crazy, Im here twice a week after work and then saturdays and sundays I'm here all day and into the night. I want this thing DONE and puttin alot of hours in is the only way I'm gonna get it done!
 
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.
 
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!

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!

do you use the stock door handles? I gotta replace those bastards like once a year, is there a stronger one avalible?


I'm gonna be using the metal ones, they should be good for a long time!!!
