I am still impressed how great Brian does with the plastic film in the openings

Your not kidding he gets it banjo string tight with no wrinkles I can't get mine that neat, I always use paper first then plastic taped to that.

Installing the suspension and brakes and will fit the sheetmetal so when the tires come in we can make sure they fit before painting.

Really like the looks of that suspension. I have a project I am hoping to do and go this route on?

The Detroit Speed stuff is cool, but big$$$. We'll have to see what Rusty thinks of it.

He would be the one to know.

It is the best looking suspension for a Mustang I have ever seen but I won't get to drive it. I believe it will be going to a shop in Georgia to have the drivetrain installed.

Back of the doors painted matte black

Engine compartment painted

Painted the fenders and doors

For some reason I thought somebody else was painting this one.. Awesome to see you are doing it.. Looks great.

I have hired a new young painter Marco that is painting it.

The body was epoxy primed for the last time and wet sanded with 600 before paint.

Three coats of Wimbledon white followed with a coat of intercoat clear

It's not a quick job laying out the stripes and taping the body

Three coats of Guardsman blue yesterday

Brian removed the tape today and tomorrow I will spray SPI Universal clear.

Beautiful work Rusty.

I've followed your work on VMF, I haven't been over there for a while though.
