Hey guys have a few questions before I get started on my ride. I have a 98 Mustang that has some custom bodywork done to it already and needs final touch ups but overall is getting close to getting a paint job. I talked to the guy who is going to paint my car and to save myself some money I am going to do most of the disassembly myself. I was thinking though that since I am going to be doing this why don't I start doing some of the sanding and such to get started and maybe take some more money off the overall labor cost. I don't have to worry too much about rusting or anything and the car is in pretty straight shape so I just want to start sanding the car to get the clear off and maybe spray the car once with primer and block it to get it as close to straight as possible. I'm figuring after I take everything off it that needs to come off I could hit it with some 80 grit to start and then some 220 grit after I get through the clear. Does that sound alright or should I look at doing it a different way. I don't have a compressor at my place and probably won't be driving it to my friend's that has one after I've taken parts off so I'll be doing most of it by hand. Any help from you guys would be great since I really want to get her started. If the pics show from what I posted then this is what my car used to look like before I started on some of the work that was under the green primer and now is better then what is was then. Thanks in advance.
