Default Mustang in the Bodyshop! Car's Painted! ***UPDATE***

Here ya guys go. This is my car, after 2 years of work, it's almost done. The first colour has been painted (the scarlet red), they were starting to mask it off for the second as I left the body shop today, top is going to be black, hopefully will be painted tomorrow. What do you guys think?

Here's a Picture of the car the day I bought it.



This is roughly what it looked like when I sent it to the body shop about 3 weeks ago.



2 years later....







I have some more pictures, but they're at Wal-Mart getting devellopped as I type this.

What do you guys think?! I know I'm pumped

Well it's road worthy right now per-se. I'm gonna drive it home when i get it back (about 15 miles away) that'll give me a good idea if anything's wrong, as it was a complete restoration, so everything was removed from the chassis, so I wanna know if there are any problems with suspension or what-not, so I can work on it over winter. But for it to be 100%... not too long, have to put the doors back together, put the glass in the car, get the headliner done, put the spoiler on it, pick up my fibreglass hood and get it painted/hood pins installed, lights, then I can finish up the interior, as I've been waiting on the headliner to finish that. So I'd say if I bust my ***... bout a month, but winter's here so I have all winter.

oooh I'd better. Im just kinda worried about those wheels fitting on there with the fenders on there now.... that donut on the pass. side is roughly the same diameter as my wheels/tires. And my tires are 245's all around... I'd be pissed if they don't fit back on [:@]

Yah, I did, like me having to pull the tranny out 3 times cause the starter kept grinding... 2 blockplates, new starter and new flywheel later... she starts like a damn [:@] not to mention the dash out of the 92 not fiting in my 87... seat belts being different from the 92 to the 87 (oh yah, it was an 87, but now it's a 92, didn't mention that) Among many other things.... she's been 'a fightin all the way, now she's treatin me good though :P
