I actually can't remember, are the drip moldings even removable?
Subframes on?
I'm not sure about the '67s but the '65/'66 you can remove them but you have to actually pull up the roof panel.

I inspected the rear of the FB and i am not happy with it, its rough so i am going to have to get my dad to primer it again cause i sanded it down until it was smooth and some metal is showing from doing that but everything else is smooth as glass

I'd suggest second guessing the laser red, I mean it's an awesome color, I know because my 97 is laser red, but it fades really weird, like the trunk lid, license plate backing, and taillight shield things on my car are all different shades of red in bright sunlight, and the paint on my car is in really good shape!
I was going to paint it the same color as my 95 but my dad's Mustang is a 98 and my Fastback is a 68, 40 years difference so i thought it would be cool to have it the same color.
My dad's Cobra hasn't faded at all so i don't know why yours is.
I am going with 4 coats of base
4 coats of color
4 coats of clear.
be careful too much paint/clear can make it brittle. I know when i sell everyone paint i have to let them know that dupont recommends 2-3 coats of value shade(base as u called it)2-3 coats of base coat(paint) but it usually takes 3 to achieve the color with out voids,blotches and tiger stripping. and 2 coats of clear, 3 if u are going to do a lot of buffing,but that third coat has to come after the 2 coats have thoroughly dried and all the solvents have lifted out of it.

i put weather seal and bondo in them and sanded them smooth.
So my hood was supposed to be here this week and i called and they can't find my hood and don't know if they sent it ![[Mad]](mad.gif) IF i have to wait another 6 weeks for a hood then i have to wait 6 weeks to paint it

get the block sanding sand paper so it sticks to your fingers or get some mixing sticks for paint and use them to sand with by putting the sand paper on them. Fingers worked good for me.

I just hope the cowl clears the engine.

It was going to be, need to fix the rear of the car, its not as smooth as i want it. Can't really paint it without a hood. I can paint the jams and stuff and then put the car together and get ready for painting the entire car but i don't want to wait too long after painting the jams.

Started masking off the door jams and firewall. All we need is a warmer day and we'll lay some color. ![[Eek!]](eek.gif) Hood should be here on thursday.
Found a little glitch with my fender so we're going to have to primer a section of it again but after that it should be good. I am going to look over the fenders more closely tomorrow.

Getting the hood today. Going to primer it and then block sand it tomorrow. Hopefully its in good shape. Friday we're painting the door jams. Then we'll wait until I have 2 days off from work and paint the rest of the car.

Going out and painting the door jams in a few, i'll post pictures tonight. Once the car is fully painted i won't update this post unless i do some major work to the car but once its painted we're going to focus on my brothers, broke down Honda, put the XFI and long tubes on my dad's 98 Cobra, find out what the weird noise that my moms 98 Cobra is making in the rear suspension and then put all in brake lines in my Jeep.

So We're done. We're following v-town coupe advice and painting the last coat of clear on the paint tomorrow. Not sure if its because its brand new paint or what but it is slightly darker than my dad's Cobra. Its more blood red than anything. I think it looks SIK! Can't wait to paint the whole car. This thing is going to be badass. Laser Red and a 532 under the hood with custom suspension i think its going to blow people away at car shows but thats just my opinion ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
