Before paint:

After:

Not sure if you can tell with the small pictures, but it does look a lot shinier and all with the new paint

[hobo]eclipse · Mar 7, 2006, 01:06 AM

the bumper and wheels add to the effect too!

looks good man!

Dark Lord · Mar 7, 2006, 01:06 AM

damn, she looks very nice. bad ass green on that thing too.

Razgriz · Mar 7, 2006, 01:08 AM

Sexy

LHC · Mar 7, 2006, 01:09 AM

Yea, we were really surprised at how well the place matched the paint

Dark Lord · Mar 7, 2006, 01:19 AM

something i just noticed. either your passenger door isnt closed all the way or the door alignment is way off.

LHC · Mar 7, 2006, 01:33 AM

Probably just isn't closed, in the first picture it looks on right.

This is my dad's old car, which now belongs to my brother by the way

Drakon · Mar 7, 2006, 02:13 AM

Nice car

SSXeon · Mar 7, 2006, 07:41 AM

Not a huge mustang fan but that is a very sexy car. Great job, love the 70s style paint, very nice.

Nice car man.
I remember us rebuilding an old Nova from scratch. Had to strip it to the frame, sandblast the whole thing and spend hundreds on hours just doing bondo and welding. It was an awesome project.

Asmoday · Mar 7, 2006, 04:04 PM

Very nice

Damn, must have felt good though once it was finished

I remember my dad and brother spending a lot of time puting the Primer and Body filler on the car. They also worked a lot under the hood.. guess some things don't run very well after almost being 40 years old

SFOSOK · Mar 7, 2006, 09:09 PM

Very nice, better than that new crap

Al_Vampyre · Mar 8, 2006, 10:32 AM

Sweet Mustang...can I have one, no wait I couldn't afford to run it over here with petrol at $5.58 per US gallon...and thats for unleaded, I don't even know where you can still buy leaded petrol in th UK

LHC · Mar 8, 2006, 11:16 AM

You don't necessarily need leaded fuel. My brother just buys unleaded, but puts some kinda mixture in it to "make it work" in a sense

Dark Lord · Mar 8, 2006, 06:16 PM

thats the same thing i do with my vette.

they only sell unleaded gas at the stations, but any automotive store has a lead additive. its about 2 bucks and is good for 20 gallons or so.
