Just got some new pics from the painter. things are looking really good. he says it should be done between wednesday and saturday of this week!
here is a trouble spot that he had to put some work in to get it fixed right.
i guess the last repair shop (Mercury Insurance Certified Shop) did this awesome fix and let this go to shit. He got that all fixed up and moved onto the rest of the car.
Here we have the exterior of my doors getting some base.
Who likes seeing their car in pieces?
Gotta pay attn to detail and get every piece painted.
He went ahead and tried to paint as much as possible with the engine in. When I get my new Engine and Trans, I will either paint inside the bay black or i'll color match but either way the bay is getting new paint as well.
Thats it for now but hopefully he send me some more when its all together right before I get it back and then ofcourse I will upload hella pics when I get home from work and can take pics myself.

Looking gorgeous! That trunk area is a problem. I hate how ford did it, they just encapsulated the lower hinge mounts with some type of urethane (I think) and if it cracks and moisture gets in, there's almost no way out so the rust begins. Just like the framerails behind the front strut towers.
Can't wait to see it all back together. Makes me anxious to get mine painted.

Just got in some pics from the painter - he is in the aligning and finishing details here so yes I know there are some things that look off and he accidentally ran over a screw with my new tire so i know its flat, hes gotta fix that to.
He went ahead and candied my tails
and all the other stuff on the back
He is them on the back - Like I said he was still aligning things so as you can see the bumper was off.
I talked to him today he said its done except for a the finishing touches. he is going to polish out my side windows as well cause they were dingy looking.
cant wait to drive her this upcoming weekend.

ight so it seems like forever since i been on here or uploaded any pics or vids. so here they are!
1st off we got my sexxy mechanic here haha. they look good together eh?
Next We got a video of my stang running over the painters Oakley's and doing some burnouts
[video=youtube_share;a_44c7eN4Hg]http://youtu.be/a_44c7eN4Hg[/video]
then we got my Mustang and my Truck sitting at the Mickey D's in Buena Park, CA waiting to do some business so I snapped a pic.
Went over to visit someone and snapped a quick pic.
FInally got my decal....suhweet!
Now finally what you all have been waiting for....some good pics of the finished product!!!
I think The difference is clear!!! she looking great! just remember what she used to look Like.
As I am sure you all can imagine, I am one happy SN95 Owner!
I just put the New triple core radiator in last night and I tell you what that thing was kicking my ass with those ORIGINAL hoses and clamps....but I managed after ALOT of cussing and having a mouth full of antifreeze and eyes full of dirt I got that bitch in. My friend took pics but he has to send me them so I will post those when I can.
