Looks good, especially with the black hood...Of course, you probably knew that already, that's why you did it. Keep the pictures coming.

Someday I plan on spraying the hood red.

I forgot to take a photo of the front bumper showing all the surface rust and dents. The rust and chrome was ground and sanded off and epoxy primed. Had to do a little bodywork

The rear bumper needs a lot of work

After straighten, welding and a lot of grinding and sanding I sprayed at least 3 coats of SPI epoxy and started the bodywork

quick question.i see you put polyester primer over epoxy and i have seen the mepk eat or soften the epoxy causing lifting and failure.i never used spi and usually use dp40.the poly doesnt soften the epoxy at all?

I've never had that happen and have been doing it since 2005 using SPI epoxy.

Glad to see this project moving forward!


Looks really great Rusty - but then --- you already knew that! LOL

Autometer Elite tach and gauges installed. You can read all about the install in the August issue of Modified Mustangs & Fords magazine
