Looken very nice!! :thumbsup: Mine is about to go into the paint shop very soon also..
Looks sweet. definitely has more shine then mine. did you have the complete car done??
Looks good!
Great paint job, lookin good
Looks good. How much did it run ya?
Thanks a lot for the complements.
The whole car was torn apart and painted, except the wheels. They did the black plastic moldings, and mirrors too. It came to 3500$ for the paint and minor bodywork.
I did get a set of after market taillights 160$ They are not painted stripes, but sure look a lot better than the cracked original one. So I installed the set.
Got a set of COBRA floor mats to go with it all and I am done; for now.
Was going to get gears. But went with a new motherboard, processor, video card and some memory. Darn games today need a lot of puter power.
When this loan is paid off; the plan is get the motor freshened up, bearings, seals, new heads and cam, forged internals. I have 3 years to plan it out. For now I am happy with it.
Thanks again.

loan 
... i would love to repaint my car and do other things, but i hate loans... so i just work myself to death..
... i would love to repaint my car and do other things, but i hate loans... so i just work myself to death..Well here is the deal.
My wife made a deal with me. “Quit smoking cigarettes you can get that mustang you wanted”.Two packs a day @ 5$ a pack =300 a month.
So I got a loan, paid it down; then took out another car loan out to get it repainted.
When it is paid off again I will take another loan for the motor work. Pay that off, then get another loan to do the suspension. Then pay that, heck it may be ready for paint again by then!! This will be a lifetime project.
The car loan and, insurance is 270 a month; so I get money for gas too.
Car, insurance and gas all for what I use to have go up in smoke.
To me the car is a freebe.

where in NY are ya Bill? Im in Buffalo. Sweet ride!
How long have you had your car in Buffalo for. I think I saw you roll up to the Shelby car show about 3 or 4 years ago right at the end. I had a red 93 there, the only 93 cobra there. I have never seen another 93 cobra in the area. The only others I know about was a red 93 like mine in Charlotte(Rochester)NY. There was another teal in Brockport,NY(20 miles outside of Rochester). Overall they're pretty rare in that area. My car is still in the area, I haven't moved it to Detroit yet due to the high theft rate and my paint. I don't want the paint destroyed on the car, the roads are rediculous. Where in Buffalo do you live, or are you in the burbs.
jeeze you guys expect to see them everywhere you go, ya know they didnt make very many.
4993 to be exact.
Did they panel paint or remove everything possible minus fenders and bumpers? I would like to see a under the hood shot. Car looks great, esp. the trim and mirrors. Did they just use a non-clear flat black paint?

Hi, they did take the whole front end off, rear end, hatch and hood. Took out the quarter windows and all trim, and all panels inside. They did not have to paint anything inside but they wanted to look for rust; and to get to the cracked paint by the windows.
I do think they did a good thorough job. They were surprised how clean the car was for a mustang of that year.
The paint on the plastic was something special. Light uv resistant, flexible, and takes 24 hours to cure. I will try to find out the name of it for you.

Thanks Bill. My car is about to get painted soon hopefully by me and my cousin who is a professional painter and was curious about the trim paint. It would be nice to have what kind was used b/c it looks great from the pics and I want mine to be able to fool people about if it was painted or not. Mine doesn't have any rust and has one tiny ding in the roof. No door dings thank god.
Thanks,
Kevin
Thanks,

Bill - sounds like you definitely used a quality shop. A lot of them won't go through the trouble of removing the 1/4 windows, let alone the front end of the car...
