This is a 1989 5.0 that we are doing at work. The guys are stripping the car, painting it black with green ghost flames. They are changing the interior from red to black, and painting all of the trim as well. What do you guys think?

Will keep it up to date, just taking the time to prep the body parts (doors, bumpers etc) Some of the guys are working on a 04 Grand Marquis we just painted that we're pushing to finish up so might be a few days before much more gets done. Hopefully soon though :rock:

Ha Ha Yes sir they can be, but it's more of an awareness thing. Basically there to persuade those ( " :evil: " ) from using another business's property for their own benefits :smash: lol

What brand of interior paint will you be using? I hope your going to say SEM? BTW that guy know black seats belts didnt come out till 90' and they ARE NOT a direct bolt in to 89' or older foxes?

I'm not sure which brand we will be choosing, but thanks for the heads up on the black seat belts not coming out til 90. Looks like we may have some fabrication in store. Nothing we can't handle :headbang:

Well you don't have to kill we can paint it for you :awesomework:



It wasn't bad there were a few flaws here and there. For example on the right front fender you could see where someone was careless with prep work.

Yea I see that all the time, seems like nobody knows how to properly finish body work lol. My father has done it since he was in HS and taught me. I have not done any in awhile but I always block stuff out until it is perfect.

Yep best comparison to good looking paint that's going to last is that it's like the foundation of a house. Do it wrong and you'll be wishing you had done things different or had it done by the pros. :D

Here are a few more pictures we're getting the rust out of all of the little cerevisiaes in the doors and such.

A few more progress pictures of the 5.0. We've got a little rust on the hinges yet because we're not sure if we are going to replace them or repair them yet. Hows it looking?
