Finaly In The Body / Paint Shop!

jessy_is_rad · March 13th, 2007, 02:02 PM

she's finaly in the body shop! im so excited!

first they hafta take it down to get the fender pulled then cut out the corner of the doors(got rusty over the winter)

then primer and seal

then paint

than shelby stripes biotch!!

$2500 for the body work...does that sound reasonable for that much work?

It must be nice. My mustang is waiting for the body shop. Well, its waiting for me to cut loose of some cash. Happy to hear that your car is going into the shop.

the body shop guy called lastnight so ima pick it up next weekend.

he said that the rear end started to come apart when he started pulling the frame =[[[ so he reenforced it for no extra cost =]. paint soon!!

Why did it start to come apart? did the welds start to break loose or was it rust or what?

jessy_is_rad · March 23rd, 2007, 06:53 PM

well it was rear ended so i guess the previous owner put new rear fenders on it and did a shitty job...i cant wait to get my car back!

me and my dad's paint/body shop are racing...hes got a 72 duster in the shop. were seeing who's car gets done better and faster...hopefully its mine

What color is it?

69 Mustang_Gut · March 28th, 2007, 02:10 PM

Cool car but i like my 69 Mustang GT 500 better

jessy_is_rad · March 28th, 2007, 11:32 PM

its only primered right now...it will be the same color as before except with silver shelby stripes with a little maroon tint in them.

69 is my favorite year. however, i wasnt gonna pass this one up.

Horseshoeing · March 29th, 2007, 05:48 AM

I was thinking It was just primered. In a 65 Mustang its hard to make the hood fit right. Everything has to be right or it just will not line up. How does you hood fit?

jessy_is_rad · March 29th, 2007, 12:52 PM

it fits pretty good. although, one of the bolts for the left hindge is stripped so im probly gonna replace all of em so it looks uniform...other than that...there are some gaps that im not too happy with. but thats not what i paid the man for. i'll take some pictures of em for ya. should be up sometime today.
