Picture of the damage below from the parking lot damage a couple months ago.

Pretty drastic sanding just to match the fender.....
 
Re: 68 Coupe Daily Driver - Updated 11/30/2011

First coat of primer, next is more sanding

Got Paint! Still needs to be polished.

What happened to the deck lid letters?
Looks great. Was the entire car resprayed?
 
Re: 68 Coupe Daily Driver - Updated 11/30/2011

I deleted the deck letters. I also deleted the rear quarter trim ornaments and the drip rail trim. Just the back half and roof were sprayed. The front was done a couple years ago so it was still fresh. After it gets polished, I will be adding a white "C" stripe.

Just picked up the mustang from the paint shop. I like the new look. I will take better pictures tomorrow. These came out too dark.

Took some pictures today at the Allen Old City Park where I took some of the stang last summer.

Before paint

After paint, notice no drip rail trim, quarter panel trim or trunk letters.

Much better, John. You made some good decisions.
 
Re: 68 Coupe Daily Driver - Updated 11/30/2011

yep, I love that car. You should play "guess what mods" at car shows. I bet a lot of people won't find 'em all and yet it looks like it could nearly be original. Nice Job!!!
 
Re: 68 Coupe Daily Driver - Updated 11/30/2011

I can think of three words to describe the "new" car.....clean, sweet, GREAT!
 
Re: 68 Coupe Daily Driver - Updated 11/30/2011

Looks great... amazing so few changes gives the car a much different attitude.
