RE: Painting Progress with more to come...
Today i shot texture and black paint through the trunk and on the floor boards.... It turned out to be a long day....
Things are progressing well and the weekend is not over yet.... Tomorrows goal is wiring and to get the dash back together. We are getting closer and closer to firing her up.....
The paint laid down really nice on the dash and the black sets it off. The blank spot in the corner will be covered by a panel...
The trunk came out really well especially with the tecture and I got a nice cover over the whole thing...
Just another pic in the trunk looking at the dash... There is still paper under the dash....

My neighbor redid 2 mustangs, one for his son and one to sell. He did them both and I am pretty sure they are the same color, maybe a bit more orange. He did them himself and not too professional of a job, from far they look good, but up close you can see runs. I saw a mustang at the car show i went to today, on the passenger side door you can see just below the window is a run about 2 feet wide, from nose to tail, and about 20 runs down about 2 inches. It looked so terrible and ruined that I didnt bother looking at the driver side.
