⭐️If I had balls, I swear to you they would have been sweating this past week⭐️
Giving your car to someone you don’t know for work is scary stuff. I know this car and all it’s corners as well as I know my own body. Today I went to the shop @westcoastbodyandpaint to check out the mustang. I chose them based on reviews and their work on classics. They matched the paint and so far this is looking beautiful. Definitely beats my $99 car canopy setup from the original paint job I did on it. Someone recommended @marlon_fly_ford for brakes so the mustang will be headed to him after. Then I’ll be getting to work on the interior. —- Does anyone have a good radio and carpet source? I guess that’s what’s next ? CANNOT WAIT TO DRIVE THE 351 and terrorize the neighborhood a bit ?

New paint job who dissssssss!!!! I’m SO happy with how this paint job by @westcoastbodyandpaint came out. If any of you guys in LA need a body or paint shop, this is it. Sent me photos and updates daily and had it done in less than 3 weeks, color matching perfectly. (Btw the front headlight doesn’t match up right because the old owner purchased an aftermarket replacement fender and we all know how random aftermarket parts go....) taking it to @marlon_fly_ford on Tuesday for the brakes then bringing her home to finish the interior up.

February 2020 ➡️ March 2021. In reality, I’ve probably only put about 3 miles on her, but that’s gonna change this year. There have been lots of setbacks , that in some ways have led to better results in the long run. This is the first week I’ve actually considered taking it out of non-op! She’ll be registered and legally drive-able this week. I can’t wait to meet some of you guys soon ⭐️ really cool to look back at this journey and thankful to all the people I’ve (virtually) met along the way ??

Nice work! Thankfully the body looked in decent shape to start with, lots of these are pretty rusty at least around here. Inspiring me to get a Mustang of my own!
