1969 Mach 1 Restoration

All the major welding is finished time to take it off the jig and back on the cart





 
Sprayed primer before the patch is welded in place





The welds were ground down and filled with duraglass



The new sheetmetal that had not been epoxy primed before was sanded to bare metal



Two coats of SPI red oxide epoxy primer. It is darker than the photos

 
Outside this is the color of the red oxide epoxy not how it looks in the booth with all the lights.



 
It is starting to look like a 1969 Mustang





Brian is starting to work on the door gaps



 
Sorry I have forgotten to update

The bottom of the car was tapped off getting ready for primer.
