Needs Paint

Mike good choice I do like the color !!! Is today Thursday I thought he said Thursday . Man you can just get em done just like that .

Thanks Bobby! My original goal was to have it completed by thursday. Since I only have the clearcoat left to apply, I may just make it, but, the wife has some plans for part of my day so we'll see what happens.

I won't say I got it done "just like that"! This "journey" started in 2000! And I've moved 3 times in the process! The furthest western state was New Mexico and then Indiana. Also Rhode Island and back to Mass.! I started pushing the paint and body work last summer so this seems like it's taken forever!

[bluestang67]

The way I move I wasn't even expecting you to color by then . All I know is bang on the monitor when the clear is on I want to fall out of my chair !!!

NAH, no paint fumes under the hood.. Just exhaustion! My right arm wants to fall off!.. The pictures don't really show it right.. While I was spraying it on today it popped into my head that it's really more like the blue from Sunoco or Gulf if I remember right.. One of them had an orange & blue combo and this reminds me of that blue..

I've never heard of the masking tape pulling. I've left the heat on in the shop so the temps have been steady this whole time. So hopefully that helps it stay in place. We'll see..

And I won't even touch a beer 'til Sunday... Then, WATCH OUT!

Never seen 3M pull back just the cheaper stuff . My son brought some home from work that will tear off skin industrial and worked well with the primers . Matter of fact will be a SOB to get it off after a couple months of being on .

Thanks for the kind words Bobby, haven't seen you around but I'm glad your here now! Here's what the car looks like now, got the basecoat on and hopefully, clearcoat tomorrow!

I have been here in the shadows .

Ok, so I gotta admit I don't know much about nailheads but it looks like you're nailin' that one! LOL! I can only assume that's going in the A, right? Weren't you doing the A for resale? Is that all changing now? What tranny is going with it? You're guy is still doing the 37, right? Geez, so many questions for the man of mystery lurking in the shadows....

[bluestang67]

Me either I am learning as I go Buddy !!!!

Thanks Again! I hate choosing a paint color.. I like way to many of them. So this time I just walked into the paint shop and asked for a chip chart, flipped through it and the first one that caught my eye, that was it! I went back last night to do some cleanup, I ended up staring at it! Didn't get much done!!

Well, let's find out if it'll make you fall from your chair!?!?! Now I need to learn how to cut and buff.. Unless by some miracle the clear lays flat overnight. Doesn't look like glas like I was hopin' & wishin' for..

Thanks a lot! Yes, made it this far.. found a nasty run I need to repair on one hood side. Hopefully the sun is out tomorrow and I'll set the car out in it and snap a few pics. The color really doesn't come through the camera and computer... It's really brighter than in the pics.

Thanks Again! Means a lot!!

How long have you had the Mustang? I had a 67 fastback for some 17 or 18 years then I sold it to do this coupe.

I guess we'll all learn something about nailheads through you!

Take care of that chin! I'm glad you like the color.
