Ryan218 Posted August 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 damn, that shit looks GOOD. what'd you sand it with? And just regular rattle can paint? I want to paint my upper/lower black, hmm. well i started out sanding it by hand.....and since it was like 110* in the damn garage i grabbed the palm sander and started with 60...100...150...220... i thought about keeping going to finer and finer till i got it 100% smooth and polishing it but decided against it since it would look really out of place in my engine bay. yeah just a rattle can job....next one im gonna do it my dad's...his looks like someone pulled out nail polish and went to town lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark1647545493 Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Looks good Ryan. Tell your dad to clean that engine up!! Your car is going to put his to shame when your done. I was in your neighborhood a couple days ago and was going to stop by but didn't see your car or any car around for that matter. What's up with the neighbor's red stang? It looked pretty nice too.

It looked pretty nice too. well i was home...my dads sits in the garage and mine sits off to the side by the garage so there tucked in the back....the red one yeah its a 83....he paid 900 for it...started tearing in to it and se far we have found that it had an edelbrock carb alum intake 8.8 with 3.55 ford racing gears...so the mods it had pretty much paid for the car....but the clutch slips bad when you get on it...grabs in first...but 2ns-4th when you step on it it just revs up and moves very slowly...yeah it dose look pretty good from a distance but it has a few body issues...but not bad at all for 900...its a 4 speed though... you going to be around this weekend? if so stop by....ill be in the garage doing some more body work as long as it aint so damn hot int he garage. and yeah...thats my dads next project with it...clean up the bay..but right now we have a little issue with it that we are trying to get fixed right now...its overheating...trying to find out why.
