RE: Final shot

If you have a specific chunk of chrome you would like to remove, let us see a picture. There are lots of different ways Henry F's people attached the trim.

You didn't say what year but it looks like a 67 or 68, so get the Mustang Body Assembly Manual (NPD $16) and see how Ford assembled the car and reverse the procedure. The manual also make re-assembly easier.

Here is the last shot of Ol'Yeller before she goes to the body shop tomorrow. I spent most of the day taking off all the chrome and valance to save a few bucks of labor the body shop would charge at about a zillion dollars an hour. By the time you guys get here for MOCA, Ol' Yeller will be standing tall.

Hope things go well Glen, my son and I are pushing as hard as we can to have a running car for MCOA.... Between work load, other comitments, and a distant funeral, we are having a hard time,,, if things go well and I get a chance to go home early a few days I thinkwe can make it.... We have lots of loose ends to take care of...

I will keep you updated....

RE: Final shot

Taking off the trim is easier than it seems. I stripped my whole car front to back and inside (minus drivetrain) in just a few days. Sean W, PM if you want some tips, I'm sure I can be of some help.

Good luck at the bodyshop Glen, I'm sure she'll come out great. How much of it is damaged and needs a repaint? Looks like only the quarter panel needs to be sprayed, but how much do they have to do to blend it properly?

RE: Final shot

Yeah, that's the deal. They have to blend it, so that's why I took all that chrome off. I haven't done much body work, so am having some fun tearing stuff off. I can rip an engine apart and put it back together in my sleep, but am learning this body work stuff. Kinda fun...........
