is the mustang when it first arrived. At first the rust didn't look too
bad, but once paint was removed it revealed a different story. There were
previous poor repairs. A big hole was filled with plastic filler and when
they installed a replacement panel they put it right over the old rusty
one causing the new panel to rust. I cut out the old rusty panel and the
rusted areas and sandblasted inside, and then formed new patch panels and
welded them in. |

| The rocker
on the other side also had a big hole filled with plastic filler and the
quarter and jamb were rusting out so that was all patched with new metal
also. The jambs had peeling paint so they were stripped down. |

| The place that worked on the car before
just shot undercoating under the hood when they changed the color. What
a mess to clean up. Finally it was stripped down and ready for primer.
The doors and rear panel also needed some patching. I probably had to patch
around 15 areas on this car. The fenders were in pretty good shape
and needed just a little bodywork. Then I made a support for the hood scoop
and also to direct air towards the air cleaner. |

| Finally color was changed to dark
moss green metallic basecoat clearcoat, with a shelby style scoop added. |

| Here is a few pictures the owner emailed
me after he had installed some parts and put on different rims and tires.
He also redid his interior and installed a stereo system and amps. |
