Paint stripped the front valance. It will need a little filler work.

its starting to look like my car needs to come over to your house... lizard skin and body work please!

 

[mach71351c]

The filler work is 99% done. Tomorrow I will finish spraying the lizard skin in the doors and quarters. Then Sunday shoot some primer and start blocking.

Fun to see a real world restoration, you are doing a great job! Was watching (by accident) on of those restoration shows on History channel this weekend only $100K to restore a 72 Grand Torino.

Yes and no. I'm having a good friend of mine that's visiting from Connecticut spray it. He is production painter at a Chevrolet dealer. I'm going to go with 2008 Torch red.

Today the valances front bumper and trunk lid got prime. The first round of blocking is done. Thursday the second coat of primer will be sprayed.

My Gawd, that's awesome! ::thumb:: ::thumb:: ::thumb::

I can't wait to see how this plays out. If I may be so bold as to say, I believe I'm gettin' wood.

Ummm... I totally meant that 'figuratively,' of course. :whistling:

Have you ever been to France?

If not you are invited at home for a few month (for free) My car is waiting in the garage

Your thread started with that cool Story about this 4V engine, and the rest is amazing, I wish to get enough knowledge to paint, weld, redress...well, all what you are doing to restore your Mustang.

Bravo!!!

Mike, your doing an amazing job on your car. When it's all done shoot me a email and I will try to get the wife and I to make trip up there to see it in person. Besides that would give her a reason to go back to the beach. Lol.

I have not seen how Jim's car is coming Alone but, I am sure his wife is happy to have the kitchen back. Really enjoyed our visit and looking forward to seeing it at cruzin grand.

I am happy to see you are back on this project my friend. I need to get my butt over there one weekend to check it out! Mine runs, but need major carb tuning, which I apparently have no idea how to do...
