RE: Pics of my Mustang-PAINT ALMOST DONE!
Lookin really good, i couldnt image payin that much, but they are doing an amazing job, you'll prolly never be able to tell its aftermarket paint cuz you wont be able to find any other colors. How long before its 100% finished ? I cant wait to see the finished produts, its gonna look amazing. I loved the way it looked before, nice stance, and sweet *** rims, its gonna be a real beauty.

oh, ok, i thought you were doing it yourself. I was like DAMN, 10000 just for supplies. But that sounds about right for that amount of work. The car looks awesome, i want some silver stripes on my red fox to match the cobras, i just want to spend money on mods instead of paint. Someday......

Here is what they did.
They dissasembled it for all the body work and rolled all 4 fenders and even welded in reinforcements.
Then primed it. Then test fit everything. They took it apart, they painted it red. They put it back together again to lay the stripes. Then took it apart again for the clear. Then it is going back together for the last time. That is where they are at now. They even molded the Cobra bumper insert into the bumper instead of the usual stick on. Among other things they did. And I am getting all new glass.

Where are you located. Everything out here in Cali tends to cost more. Also the hood needed a ton of work to get it smooth and straight, you know how some are. The quarter was dented some, the fenders were rolled and finished with some reinforcements. The cobra insert was molded in and the bumper was modified to fit cleaner. And some other dents. nothing major.
