Im going to start tearing the mustang apart for paint soon.  I was looking thru the assembly manual and I noticed that there is supposed to be a strip of ESB Sealer on the top of the apron.  Is this going to make it difficult to remove the fender?  I dont want to bend it. Sealer tape

it was sold. damn

Thanks! I just messaged him.

Still looking.

Cool. I was thinking I would let it dry for at least a month. I would rather go long than short. I ask because, I painted the cowl on my Bronco several years ago, and I only let it dry overnight. Then I installed it, closed the hood, and I didnt have it pushed all the way up in place and it...

The most frustrating and infuriating thing about getting old is not being able to do something you know damn well you could do just a year or two ago. This is something I am having to come to grips with, and im having a very hard time with it. Good luck David. I hope you feel better soon.

Thanks

I think I can do that.

Where can I locate one of these templates?

How long do you generally need to let the paint cure before putting on the stripe kit?

I was looking around and thinking about the hood graphics, is there a template anywhere? David Fowler said the templates are all wrong, which I don't doubt. I would like a template though even if it's not exactly correct. I can use his hood as a reference to correct errors in the template.

Good advice Mike, I have planned on doing all of that.  Ive been thru this process on my Bronco, It helped tremendously.  One thing I learned from that project is, you can Never take too many pictures.  No matter how many you take, theres always another angle you wish you had when your putting...

I ordered the Osborn books, couldnt find anyone with the body assembly book in stock but I found a CD on ebay.

Thanks David, Your help is always appreciated.

OMS Don, Do you have these? "I'd recommend you pick up the Osborne assembly manual for 71/2, it has exploded diagrams of many of the items you're asking about, and the Body manual in the 71 Shop Manual does as well."

Hemikiller, Its a regular fastback non-mach 1 car. Im converting it over to full Mach 1. Don, Thanks, I will be extra careful with the side molding. We plan to remove it and weld it closed. Im going to have to figure out how to remove the clips from the inside. Since the doors and fenders...

Looking at weatherstrip. Where does the rear window weatherstrip go?  Does the rear window come out to replace this?  If so, ill pass on this one as its not leaking and it can be taped. Where does this one go?  And do I need to replace it? Think I will need this too?

It will be so nice to get the hodge podge assortment of decals removed and correct decals applied. I wanted to ditch the 69/70 spoiler and put the correct one on but my son likes it being different.

Pictures as it sits.

My 71 is nearing its date with the paint shop and I need help to figure out what parts I need to change while its somewhat taken apart. I know there are many parts that probably should be changed while its apart for paint.  So Im asking for some advice on what all of you guys have replaced...
