The following pictures show the body work and paint prep is complete for the body, fenders, and doors. The pieces will be painted first. We had to fill the holes in that had been drill into the doors for the deluxe door panels. Tose areas will be painted with the proper black charcoal interior paint after the doors have been painted blue. You can also see how harsh the stripe kit was on the fender paint. We had to feather out the ridges and primer those arears to insure a nice paint job.

This next set of pictures show the body and parts after being shot with base coat and clear coat. Boss 302 Mustang's look great in grabber blue in my opinion. We will need to color sand and buff these out. We will leave some orange peel to give it the original factory look. This is always one of the most exciting stages of a restoration. We know we have turned the corner and are headed for the finish.

After we painted the car we had to add the testured black paint to the proper areas. We use a stencil for the hood to ensure proper size and widths of the stripes. Boss 302's also get the black treatment to the rear body panel, trunk lid, selected other areas. We try to replicate the factory procedure as closely as possible but there have been some advances that we do use to arrive at concourse standards.

Well here are some of the uglier parts of doing a full restoration. These photos shows the condition of some of mechanical parts of this "restored" Boss 302 as we got them. It just goes to show that restored is a subjective term. We will clean, blast, and refinish all of these parts to their original condition and look. You can also some took the lazy way out at some point and cut holes in the shock towers to work on the upper control arms. We will weld these holes and make it appear that they were never there. We see these cuts all the time. Either for spark plug changing or for this kind of work.
