1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 (Lilith)

Back from Body and Paint

Before we show off how beautiful this car now looks we're going to take a moment to relate a lesson learned. When you do all your own work you only have yourself to blame. When you farm it out you invite many other problems. Jared had a really rough time with the body shop. It took 18 months to get them to finish the work and deliver the car. On top of this, he's taking them to small claims court. Always get multiple references for any shop, get everything in writing, and visit the shop frequently while the vehicle is there to keep an eye on them.

Despite the grief that was undergone to get the car back, the paint really does look beautiful.
From every angle it's perfect, and black's not an easy color.
