Well, as some of you may or may not know, I had my car vandalized by some morons about 2-3 weeks ago. I decided it would be a perfect opportunity to shave my car, and mold a few parts. I have a friend that's doing all of the work for my stang. I left the stang with him late last Friday night and he is expecting to be done by this Friday. The paint he's going to shoot is duPont two-stage with ChromaBase basecoat (2 coats) and Nason general-use clear (3 coats). It will be shot in a downdraft booth, and baked.

Shave:
Antenna Hole *DONE*
Both Keyholes *DONE*
Fender Emblem Holes *DONE*
Rear Ford Emblem Hole *DONE*

Mold:
License Plate Panel *DONE*
Side Scoops *DONE*
Side Skirts (incl. door filler panels) *DONE*

Replace:
Rear Glass *DONE*
20% Rear Glass Tint *DONE*

Paint:
Bumpers
Trunk
Underside of Hood
Entire Car (less trunk and bumpers)

The paint section was split up because the trunk, bumpers, and hood will be shot, then the car shot later.

*Update*
The passenger-side scoop has been molded. The antenna, keyholes, and fender emblems are now shaved off and all of the dents are fixed. Just needs further prep. More pics when they're all sanded with 320.

The stang is almost finished. I added two more pics to the original post so that ya'll can see a close up of the side scoop so that ya'll can see what they'll look like. The stang goes in for paint tonight. I will start a new thread this Saturday with final pics.

It's going to look really good! It looks like the side of the hood it says 4 EVER, but that's about all I can make out of it.

Well guys, bad news. Andrew put the whole car under a florescent light and he saw tiny waves in parts where the filler didn't sit right. So it looks like it's gonna be another two weeks before it's done. He and I both want it done right, and it looks like it's gonna take a bit of time. Oh well, shit happens I guess...

Yeah man don't rush your prep work. I spent 3 weeks on the body work and tank work for my GSXR. And another 4 or 5 days buffing it out after painting.
