LINK - Dipping Warning, this removes all (rust, seam sealer etc) except good steel so record any paint marks first.

LINK - Dolly and Rotisserie Couldn’t find a rotisserie to borrow or hire so I made one.

More progress, interior and under body now painted. Doors, gaurds, bonnett and cowl fitted for final alignment so the hood pin holes can be drilled.

Well done. Envy your space.

JT_1994 · « **Reply #12 on:** April 09, 2011, 06:30:29 pm »

looking very good, my favourite year & model that one,
what colour will it be?
any mach 1 stripes / boss stripes?

jademustang · « **Reply #13 on:** April 12, 2011, 11:54:13 pm »

Color will be Black Jade with standard Mach 1 stripes.
The Black Jade will be different from most as the original on mine was quite green.

JT_1994 · « **Reply #14 on:** April 13, 2011, 12:12:11 am »

Nioce, look good in black...

jademustang · « **Reply #15 on:** April 24, 2011, 11:00:25 am »

evan · « **Reply #16 on:** April 24, 2011, 12:04:30 pm »

Very nice! This is an exciting stage. I'm going through this myself at the moment & can't wait til the whole lot is in colour!

Evan.

Colour looks brilliant! Was it a factory shaker? Very rare if so. What are the option codes?

chopmgw · « **Reply #18 on:** May 05, 2011, 01:59:10 am »

Nice progress.
Love the colour.
Cant tell from the pics.
Is it LH or RH ?

jademustang · « **Reply #19 on:** May 05, 2011, 10:30:12 pm »

it's lh drive and the shaker is original. the body and panels are now painted (except for engine bay) and head lining installed (poor quality phone pic)

Thanks, I got someone else to install the headliner and I'm not in Adelaide.

jademustang · « **Reply #23 on:** May 13, 2011, 12:45:28 am »

Engine bay painted (flash makes it look more glossy than it is)

Masking for the hood blackout (definitely not done by me !!)

jademustang · « **Reply #24 on:** June 24, 2014, 09:05:41 pm »

After a long time with no progress on the resto for various reasons hope to be back on track now.
Here is a pic of body and paint done. Just fish oiled.
