All of our mustangs are always under construction! So dont feel discouraged!

You got a nice car to start with! You keep nickel and diming the shit out of it, the car will eventually be what you want it to be.
I didn't think when I posted I needed a peptalk, but I did. Thanks for saying this. I was kinda down in life and it feed into the car stuff. I love my car and driving. I went to a couple car meets last week, and drove with new friends who drive like me; it really reinvigorated me. I'm far from perfect, but far from where I started too. The interior is coming together too, then onto paint, and it'll be done. Then I can start picking at the little things. I appreciate your perspective.

Process photos. Swapped the trunk to being fully red. New meds make my brain mush. Still getting through it. Accidentally sanded with blue onto yellow, just a little though. There were also little peaks of the blue from the tape not being fully down on the edges, but I'm actually proud of how crisp that line is with all the bumps and stuff.

Gotta finish the sky and then the rear will be mostly done; Upholster the seats and the dash, sand and paint the roof, and find new center console (paint that); and then I'll be done with the interior! I move friday and hopefully after that some energy will come back and I can work a little more consistently :)
