Whats the color code? Looking great

 

[JackA]

Thanks. It's the Summit Racing Ultra Blue Pearl.

Starting the day with masking stuff. After I get it all masked off, there's a few areas that need some minor work. Then lightly sand the while car. Then spray.

 

[JackA]

Masking is all done. Dealt with a few areas that needed a touch of filler. They put these small dimples in the deck lid to make locating the Shelby letters easier. I am not adding those letters, so they get filled. Sanding, final sanding, and paint tomorrow. Can't wait to see this thing in all blue.

My 66 Custom 500 is Silver metallic Blue . Little light for me, but I like it .

 

[JackA]

No more letter location spots on the deck lid. The other areas are disappearing as well. Next is final sanding.

 

[JackA]

Almost done sanding. Still need to do the hood. Had to take a break cause, I am getting tired. Doing all this by hand.

 

[JackA]

It's blue......

 

[Michael B]

Yes it is! It looks great Jack.

 

[JackA]

Thanks. This is a major milestone. Now alot of items can go together for the last time. I am gonna let it cure for the next few days. Time to go wheeling.

 

[bobm]

[JackA]

Didn't do anything today but unmask and watch the paint cure......lol

 

[JackA]

Assembled the headlight housings and installed the turn signals in the lower valance panel.

 

[JackA]

Adding some little dodads here and there.....

Been busy lately.......need to get back on the 68. I will be adding this scoop per request by the owner. I think it looks pretty cool. I just set it here for mock up. I need to modify it slightly to fit properly.
More progress pix coming soon.

Since my 69 Mustang has been sitting in my yard since the Duct Tape Drags, it was time to brush off the dust again.
I bought some new wheels for it this week. They are aluminum repops of the classic Magnum 500s. I got 15 x 7s for the front and 15 x 8s for the rear. Still need to buy tires though.
I pulled the 69 out, gave it a wash, and took it for a cruise. Then I loaded it up and moved it to my parents garage. Once there, my Dad and I cruised it around some more.
Next...back on the 68. Should have some good progress this week.

 

[JackA]

Got alittle time in tonight. Unfortunately the bumper is not fitting properly. I installed new bumper bolts onto the repainted mounts and a new license plate lamp.
I moved on and fiddled with the tail lights....which I discovered need to be cleaned up, painted and buff out the lenses.

 

[JackA]

I did manage to get these new front marker lamps installed with no issues.

 

[JackA]

Installed the front inner splash shields, head light housings, and stone guard.

My new Brawler 650 double pumper showed up today. This is for my 69 Mustang. It should work well on the cammed 302.
