**Mad Monkey** · 07-15-2009

im not familiar with ASCD?

**shawn3091** · 07-16-2009

i am going to paint it the original green just like it is now, and ascd is american sports car design, google it and you will find their website, but be carefull if you decide to buy a hood they are about 700 shipped and they require some work, had to mess with mine for a long time to make it latch and none of the holes are cut in the bottom side.

lookin good... you repainting it yourself?

You my friend have one of the cleanest and very well done body work ive seen in a long time. Looks like an excellet job getting things to line up and I give you huge props for taking a quarter panel job most would write off as a loss! very impressive Id like to see it all pained up with the new wheels when your done. My family has done back halved 95 Grand Prix that was rear ended and Ive also helped do some rolled SUV's too. I know what it takes to get unibody cars to line up. Excellet work.

i cant take all the credit for it, i had help from a few people i know

. my uncle will be the one painting it. when it is all done, there should be no way of telling a quarter was put on.

**16MustangVet** · 09-11-2009

after looking at whats done so far im sure it will look great. I still believe that body work is 70% prep work and 30% talent

trunk jam is green again and trunk lid was stripped and primed with epoxy primer to take car of the rust problem i found under the spoiler

I need new rockers also

lol are you going to start up with the engine mods next or just keep it all body?

**shawn3091** · 09-15-2009

yea engine runs and sounds great, havent even got to drive the car yet, other than just moving it around to work on it, cant wait. and performance mods will come next year

right now it has a 3.5 pulley and i will be getting dhp pcm and the airbox to connect to the hood. the rest will have to wait till next year, car will be parked along with my z24 for the winter.
