Going back in time to April 2013, before I ever did any videos on YouTube.  I would work on projects like the projects of today.  Except I was only documenting them for myself. 

I decided to dig up the past and share my 1996 Mustang GT that I got a  deal on it because it was lightly wrecked,  sideswiped causing damage from front bumper to the rear quarter. 

These pictures were taken from my photo album and turned into a slideshow.  99% of the time I work on my projects by myself.  I spent a month of spare time powder coating rims that I got for $50 and Exhaust tips that I got for free,  dismantling the mustang, finding damaged parts, painting (when the new paint went on the original paint looked pink because of age) and reassembling the mustang. 

I also blacked out the emblems with black Base-coat & clear-coat.  I put 4 drops of base color black in a mixed pint of clear-coat, then painted 4 coats of clear-coat on the brake lights to reach the desired shade or "smoked"  color.    It's hard to believe how hard it is to find pieces and parts for these mustangs anymore. 

Here's the Mustang basically from start to finish. Enjoy.  I look forward to future cars I'm going to restore, and showing, like all the rest of my videos,  step by step how to get it done.  Like, Share and Subscribe because you never know what I'm going to do next.
