1993 Black Cobra: 3 Step Correction

[Danny281]

I was contacted by my client whom I have corrected his two other cobras a 2014 Shelby GT500 and the 2004 Cobra all three have been black in color. This one being 21 years old had accumulated quite a bit of defects even though it only has 1000 original miles and some change on the ODO. I don't know the whole story on it, but I am guessing he purchased it from a collector. When he purchased it, it only had 900 miles on the ODO and still he has only driven it a few times. I was asked to do a 3 step correction on this one so that he could show it.

Total Time: 34.5 hours split between last Friday through this Monday

Great job on the best looking color (when it's done right and the most difficult one to do that way)!

Thanks guys I'm glad you all liked the write up. I am planning to do my Mach 1 soon since its been about a year and a half since I corrected it last so when I do I'll post up a write up for it. I'll be doing the F-150 of the owner of this Cobra and the other 2 Cobras I have corrected for him. I also will be correcting neighbors 2013 Ram in the next month or so. So when I get them all done I'll post them up.

Awesome work!

Were those car clearcoated from the factory or do they have a SS paint like my '92? I'm looking at correcting mine soon (when that snow can finally melt...) and it is in quite similar shape. Good original paint but the usual swirl.

Thanks man and it's a clear coated. Post a write up on it once you get it corrected.
