$5000 budget Mustang

[Ron S]

For sure no black,unless its flat black.I knew it was going to be white,or some extreme color that would conceal my lack of effort on the body work.I was driving home from work friday,and passed my local Ford dealer who had a 2010 Mustang out front ,the color caught my eye,I stopped at my paint supplier before I even made it home.Hopefully its bright enough,to hide my lazyness.Ron

[Ron S]

Hey, we'll have the same color Mustangs

Is that Grabber Blue? So it is a remix of an old color.I loved this Mustang I passed,and yours definitely looks pretty wicked.I don't know what made me think it was a new color.Too late,I've committed myself now $328 a gallon.{hard on the budget}

Nice choice on the color. Ford used a version of grabber blue on the Boss mustangs.

Yeah!!! That is bright enough to hide a multitude of sins.This color looks a shade darker though.Ron

Sick car. Nice work man!

[slowcamaro]

Too bad you weren't a week quicker. There is an autocross this weekend up in the scenic part of the state...Just sayin.

[Young Gun]

so youll be selling it for what you spent on it right? Ill be the first in line please!!!!

gahh this car is too sick, I wish I had the skills for something like this

[Z06killinSBF]

My color is actually light grabber blue from like a 70 Maverick. At least that is what the color book said. I agree the $400/gl paint is indeed hard on the budget. Just think, my full gallon of clear got knocked off the work bench, OUCH!!

[Ron S]

In between coats of mud,I'm trying to catch up on all the little stuff.Made these plates to go between the cage and the A pillars.Still alot of crap to do and not alot of time.Windsheild comes Tuesday,so the car has to be in color.Its going to be a long weekend.Ron

incredible

I'm sure your head already to big to fit through the garage door, but I gotta say... when I first saw the beginning of the build, I thought, "that's cool, but hows he going to do the next step?" Now after thumbing through the latest fabbing, all I can think is "why did he need to purchase the Mustang carcass in the first place?"

[dipren443]

I think I read that it will be in color by Tuesday!!! I am going to guess you are burning the midnight oil? Any pics from this weekends work?

[Ron S]

Yeah,I'm exhausted.My companies busy season is now in full swing,so I'm not getting home until late.I really really wish I had more time,this is a rushed, quick and dirty paint job.In keeping with the budget theme,I'm shooting it with a Harbor Freight $15 paint gun,yes you heard right $15,was going to break out my good gun that I bought to spray my Camaro,but no it is budget crap to the very end.I will spray the thing tonight,and post some pics then.Car is blown completely back apart,I'm not going to get any test miles on the car before Geogia,so if something falls off I don't want to hear any laughing!!

[jackfrost]

I'm kinda curious how well the cheapo gun works. Sometimes I wonder if the only people that notice the difference are professional bodymen.

you could always re-shoot it later.

[claytonisbob]

A super chepo gun will probably be noticeable to anyone who has used a paint gun before, BUT you can still make a paint job look decent with one if you take your time and learn the gun a bit.

There are a lot of people who swear by those HF guns. Good paint is in the prep, not so much the spray.

I really cant wait to see this car in a solid color.

[hechtrod]

I love the budget-ness going on here. The car looks so mean. Can't wait to see it done! You can sleep later.
