I also received my new buck tag from Marti yesterday in the mail. When I bought my car it only had the corner of it left, and the screw that was holding it on. I ordered it from Marti last December and they said they make them when they have enough ordered so it finally came and I painted it...

I sealed the interior sheet metal with epoxy primer and then painted it the body color and then applied X-mat sound/heat insulator to floor and roof and sprayed boom mat on the inner side of the door skins, quarter panels and wheel wells. The bottom of the car I also sprayed with epoxy primer...

Thank you, I am very pleased with the results thus far, although there are plenty of things on my punch list of stuff that still needs to get done The drivers hood lock adjustment is one of the things on my punch list that I still need to revisit. I am trying to get to the big things that keep...

I drove the Mustang over to a friends to work on his car this morning and it ran really well. I got home around 12:00 and the front spoiler I ordered Thursday from NPD had already arrived. I felt obligated to install it considering it came so quickly, haha. One step closer to being done, of...

Thanks, I bought them knowing they are sequential as the turn signal flashes, but wasn't aware that they light up sequentially when you hit the brakes, that was just a nice surprise, haha.

I took the car for an alignment yesterday, WOW what a difference it made. After tearing down to an empty shell and installing all new front suspension and steering, I knew it was going to be a little off when I reassembled it. The only thing that was off though was the caster, and the camber and...

I have my originals with a key in a box somewhere, I will look for them. They worked well and it had two sets when I bought the car both were O.E. but one set had two keys and the other only had one, that's how I chose one over the other, lol.

Thank you! As much I am sure I would have loved the Grabber Blue with black stripes, I absolutely love the Wimbledon White with the black accents. It is such a distinct variation being opposite ends of the spectrum. I think it really makes the stripes and accents pop! Even my wife has admitted...

I agree that the stripes definitely emit more of a muscle car vibe, but with no stripes the car has a more classy look. If my car came with the decor group lower moldings, I would not have done the hockey stick stripes either. You car looks awesome! I love the red, it fits the body style of our...

I had no idea how I was going to do it, so I reached out to some body men friends for suggestions, I got a bunch of different ideas that ranged from seemingly ineffective to drastic. One guy told me that back in the day they skinned the urethane off of the metal bumper. After that was done, they...

Sorry, I thought I mentioned this situation. My indecision struck again, I kept procrastinating on repairing the bumper, trying to decide what was the best course of action. The original bumper, as you can see in the first pic, was dented and slightly twisted. It doesn't look that bad in the...

I got out to the garage and applied the passenger hockey stick stripe last night after work, the car looks awesome! Getting the stripes on makes the car look complete, except of course it still has no bumper or RH mirror, but you hardly notice, haha, right? I intend to take it to a cruise...

I agree that is a nice clean look, your car looks incredible like that. IMO, the awesome pronounced style line from front fender tip to before the rear wheel opening is the star of the show down the side when there is no hockey stick stripe. I just love the look of the stripe though, and I...

Thanks, you are right, the joy rides are indeed the pay-off! I am going to try and drive it as much as possible for the next couple months until I need to put her away for the winter. I also plan to store this one in the third bay of my home garage for the winter, as this is my favorite. I have...

I couldn't let it go last night, so after we ate dinner, I went out and applied the driver's side hockey stick stripe. I was going to apply the passenger stripe also, but I decided that I could do that side one night this week after work. It really changes the look of the car! IMO, without...

I like that look, it is nice and clean, but I also like the hockey stick stripe. It is nearly a coin toss for me, I like both equally. I did already buy the stripes though, and I am way too cheap to pay for something and not use it, haha. I took pics of my car when I had just applied the lower...

Thanks, it definitely was a fair bit of work. I must be getting old, by the time I was finishing the polishing the buffer was getting pretty damn heavy, haha.

I decided to devote the whole day today to finally wet-sanding and buffing the paint. I had until 5:15 or so, when I knew I had to stop and shower so my wife and I could leave by 6:00 to meet some friends for dinner. I was a man on a mission, I got out to the garage a little after 6:00 this...

Welcome from Chicago! That is a great back story, I am always impressed by you guys who were able to keep your first one. Have fun getting her back on the road!

I took her out for her first joy ride today. The only other time I have driven it so far was home from the body shop. On that trip the speedometer stopped working and the temp gauge stopped working. The tach gave out while it was at the body shop and still does not work. I fixed the speedo and...
