Finally took my car to the pain shop yesterday. Its leaving for media blasting tomorrow and then it comes back for body work and paint. I have a bunch of pictures but i seem to have lost my camera cable so i will upload them as soon as i find a way too

I chose light pewter metallic as the color with all of the normal black decals/ally stripes etc. I should be getting her back early-mid April, i can't wait.

A USB cable costs about 2 dollars?

Sure would like to see some pics bud. Here's my Mach after I picked it up today from the body shop. We have some light rain coming down, so that's what the water is from. My old lady crunched both the rear quarter panels, and now "Big Red" is back to factory specs. This guy did a super job with a very difficult repair, don't ya' think?

Yeah but so far I've had some trouble tracking one down. They want me to buy the whole damn camera again. Wow they did turn out good, looks like
nothing ever happened

If you can't find a cable just get a card reader they are handy and you don't need to use your camera battery to upload your pic's to your computer.

Yup, picked one up tonight and it works way better and its way easier, thanks.

So, where are the pics?

Ok so i finally got the car back from the media blasters today. Here are some new pics, the body work gets started now and she should be ready for pain in a week or two.

That back/front window and drip rail window trim looks kinda rough. Why didn't you take the window and the trim off before prepping?

Tim175 · « **Reply #8 on:** March 31, 2010, 10:01:21 PM »

They look rough because they aren't there

There are off, after looking at the pics after your comment i can see why you would think that.

After a second look you are right. Sorry 'bout that. Looks like you have it coming along just right. Keep us posted with upgrade pics.

Looks pretty familiar, as with my car's recent painting.
What color is it going to be?

Tim175 · « **Reply #13 on:** April 25, 2010, 01:32:58 AM »

How is the car by the way? Get the interior all finished up? It will be a Light Pewter Metallic with all of the decals and emblems of course.

FASTBACK65GT · « **Reply #14 on:** April 25, 2010, 06:39:32 AM »

Are you going with black decals and hood then? I saw a blue car with silver hood and decals - looked pretty neat.
I posted a message about a week ago with pics of my interior.

Tim175 · « **Reply #15 on:** April 25, 2010, 02:18:52 PM »

Yup black decals, and yeah the blue with argent looks amazing too. Ill have to check those out.

Ok Tim.....post the pics when you get a "round toit"

I haven't found a "round toit" in quite sometime now, even though I am retarded.

Finally got around to work on her a bit. Here some some before and during of the engine bay. Motor is in but not 100% still. Also i have some pics on the body work progress. Got the floor pans POR-15'd but forgot to take some pics, Will add some on Monday when i work on the car again. Enjoy.

Lookin' good big fella. One of the things I enjoy about these projects is a clean engine bay. Yours looks outstanding. That engine has come a long way from the nasty looking thing with the before picture, hasn't it? WOW!

Tim175 · « **Reply #19 on:** May 22, 2010, 04:31:29 PM »

Thanks, and yeah i hope so anyway haha. Ill be adding pictures a lot more now seeing as once the quarter is finished its all downhill.
