Default Getting ready for paint

It's been a long process but my Mustang is almost ready for paint. I've got my brother-in-law doing it (and getting a fantastic deal) so I'm on his time-table. I hope to get it back by the end of May. Crossing my fingers.
Here is a before pic

And here is what it looks like now.

They were when the primer was being applied. Sincethe primerlong dry and all of the tires are on rollers so they could move the car out of the way the covers have been removed.

Nope, just dust, but I appreciate your concern. This isn't the first car he's painted, the pic below is his '34 Ford. Before he started his business he used to do custom paint jobs for hotrods on the side. The Mustang is in good hands.


This is a pic of his salt car, the pic quality isn't that good.
