Also, not in the pictures, the lower portion of the rear quarter panels was also left the original color (red on the pass side, white on the drivers side from the quarter panel I replaced). The painter said that since the paint isn't very cheap, he was trying to conserve as much as he could, and although the front and rear bumpers would cover up those areas, it was going to bug the snot out of me to leave them, so I just scuffed it and shot it with some duplicolor "exact match" spray paint, obviously with the same paint code..Before (pass side):<img src="http://i444.photobucket.com/albums/qq163/Mustang1619/Mobile%20Uploads/imagejpeg_2-5.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />After (drivers side):<img src="http://i444.photobucket.com/albums/qq163/Mustang1619/Mobile%20Uploads/imagejpeg_2-6.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />I would say that "exact match" earned it's name today in my book.. two light coats and one medium wet coat and it looks pretty good (good enough for something that won't eventually be seen..Then I started cleaning up the interior (a lot of sanding dust).. I remembered that I had repaired the wiring from the stupid alarm installation at the dash, but that I had yet to correct the wiring on the body. So I fixed that.Before:<img src="http://i444.photobucket.com/albums/qq163/Mustang1619/Mobile%20Uploads/imagejpeg_2-7.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />After(sorry the flash wasn't working):<img src="http://i444.photobucket.com/albums/qq163/Mustang1619/Mobile%20Uploads/imagejpeg_2-8.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />It shows how crappy of a job that the alarm install place did with "soldering" the wires in, when I took the alarm wires out of the factory harness by just using heat to melt the glob of solder, then pulling the alarm wire out, re-soldering the factory wire to itself, then individually electrical-taping the wires, then taping them together.Hopefully I will be starting the sound deadner install fairly soon. I'm getting anxious to get my interior back in this thing so I can at least sit in the car and pretend it runs...</blockquote>
