Don’t take these times wrenching in the garage with your buddy just laughing and having a good time for granted! My best friend and I used to do stuff like this all the time and now that he’s passed away those are memories I’ll forever cherish
That 80 grit might be a little too abrasive huh? I agree with you, the scotch brite pads works a lot better and the SEM trim paint makes it look like new and its a little bit forgiving if you mess up
I just got done restoring my 89 lx. Sem trim black is the best. Both the front and rear window trim can be removed and painted off the car. In addition, some of the door trim. While you have the cowl off, you should clean out that entire area as far as you can reach very corrosion bad area. I used 180, 400, 600 and then painted. Great start.
I have been that guy, stay motivated and get that 86 back to its glory days..... It don"t have to be perfect but it give it your all (Project Silver back)
It's gonna be a procedure but worth it. Just to help with some small nooks and crannies get some red scotch scuff pads to use and make sure you use plastic adhesive for your paint on the plastic will help in the long run and get a automotive cleaner for a good clean surface and the finner the abrasive you use the cleaner the paint will lay out and look for acouple tips. Keep up the work!👍
All of this is solid ESPECIALLY detailed cleanup before the plastic adhesive or a good plastic primer either or but it will save you time in the long run.
Get the black trim paint. It's more of a satin but it will flex with the rubber. Mask off the decal and look into the decal removal tool that attaches to a drill.
Just one more time to insure you need SEM paint. Bulldog adhesion promoter on all plastics and rubber. And you don't have to go to the yellow. You are just looking to scuff the surface. Don't bare down so hard. Love that car brings back so many memories Keep up the great work
You need to get in contact with a man named Hector Vega on Facebook about headlights for this car. He makes a really nice set of 4x6 lights that are adjustable and look amazing. Like what you're doing with the car keep up the hard work.
Thats the best thing about owning a foxbody is doing alot of the resto yourself. Great video and keep up the great work. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family and to all of are mustang family
I took auto Collison in highschool, and watching you guys sand was a little cringy. Looks like you guys were racing. You should have watched a quick youtube tutorial first, so you got a nice even sand. Wet sanding the plastic with 800 would have been fine, even red or green scuff pads would have done the job, you dont need to go to bare plastic to get primer to adhear to the plastic, just scuff it up and clean it well and use a sandable etching primer. Rubber wheel for removing pinstriping will work amazing, they smell like pancakes too when they warm up, to shine the flat hood your best bet would be to just clear it, or respray it. . Love the vids, im a foxbody fan, first car was a 91 LX 5.0 5spd.
I did this w an 82 IROC-Z about 12 years ago. Worked on it for about 2-3 years before letting go for not having money. Good I wish I had that back to keep messing with
Great video guys huge foureye fan I own one, the trims around the headlights actually are supposed to stay Chrome I don't know how h stock you want to keep the car, other than that this thing is going to be fire when it's finished.
Well i mean blue2v needs a cowl hood and these foxbodies look amazing with cowl hoods so maybe this could be a good opportunity to order some cowl hoods for the two
Also paint the cheese grater trim panel next to the quarter windows silver, or replace it with a trim that looks better, not a fan of the cheese grater style
Use the best spray max 2k hot rod satin black what we use for our builds also make sure to primer your parts and get some good cleaner too you need any advice let me know be glad to help.
Is go back over that 180 with a 320 and then a primer before spaying it. You’ll probably be fine with the route you guys are going being flat black, but the steps I mentioned will make it pristine! 👌🏻 I’ve worked in a body shop for 26 years, so I hope my advice helps!! Either way good luck fellas!! 👉🏻subscriber👈🏻
Back when I had mine in 2001, I used a die grinder and took the whole damn hood decal off through paint and all down to bare metal. I initially tried the right way but it was so old and baked in there it was too much of a fight. I miss mine. I actually found a white one that I’m looking at tomorrow for 13k
Red scotchbrite pad for sanding. 180 is too harsh and will leave sanding marks in your final product without laying down primer first. I would go back over everything you sanded with 220 then 320 and finish with 400 or a red scotchbrite pad.The moldings are not faded down the side of the car. They are supposed to be charcoal grey from the factory. As with all the trim for 85 and 86. THEY ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE BLACK. I would not paint the side moldings or even sand them. They are made out of a different material than the rest of the moldings If you want them fresh looking clean them with tuffstuff or some laquer thinner on a rag.
Your gonna need plastic to cover the paint. Don't use newspaper. It will blend through the paper. Find an automotive paint supply and get the plastic there.
