Default Fuel Tank Reinstalled

Went by the shop today and got my hands dirty. Reinstalled the fuel tank. The hardest thing about that was trying not to scuff up the bottom of the tank while getting it in place and the straps on. The plastic shield helped out a lot.

The trunk is now painted as is most of the rear end of the car. I am told the progress will accelerate now as a previous (big) project is out and the Mustang is project #1. Next week I'll take the front and rear bumper bars to be sandblasted along with some front end parts.

I'll post more pics when it is interesting.

Default Progress on 0327

Greetings, everyone! Awful hot here with a week around 100 degrees or above. I visited 0327 and am pleased to report paint is going on. Most of the parts I had sandblasted have been painted. The inside of the hood, trunk lid, the inside of the trunk, and the back end of the veh have been painted. Next are the doors, then they'll get reassembled. I got all new rubber for them so the fit should be good.

I have attached a few pics: Inside trunk lid stripped, then painted. Inside of the hood painted, and finally the back end of the veh with fuel tank reinstalled and paint on the outside.

I think I'll bring the spotlights and install kits in and have my buddy install them. He needs to paint the shells satin anyway, and I'd rather have him tangle with them. I don't want to be scratching the new paint.
