PropertyCO Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) I guess this isn't necessarily mine, but i did a quit a bit of work on it. But i figured i might as well show off something i've done. This is a quick run through of the work done on my father's mustang It was bought for $6,500 with barely 19,000 miles on it, the person who owned it before us had apparently tried to drive through a set of yellow poles and failed. After a few thousand mile trip to baton rogue and back to get it we started on the work... So, $6,500 for the car, $2,000 for paint, $2,500 for a saleen body kit and various other parts like a ram air hood, headlights, etc... The black paint is actually a metalic flake paint called carbon black, it's actually a gm color. i also plan on painting my 81 goldwing the same color. Total time the project took was around 5 months, so i'll summarize the 200 pictures i have into a handful. A few before pictures: and the work begins: After new doors and fenders, which removing the old doors involved cutting them open with a metabo. And after a few hours with the porta power and a few body hammers, bondo work begins. And me doing a bit of wetsanding... during the final buffing: Rims painted with the same paint as the car, red is also metal flake.
