    It really is this easy it’s the prep that’s the real work

    Guys in the comments are brutal. I learned the basic steps from this video and also what products to use and the sequence of application. Im a heavy equipment operator just trying to learn how to get it done to flip some cars on the side. With that being said, thank you!
  • @mcraceworks
    Lots of good info. Thank you for helping out the garage painters
  • Awesome video. When my car is ready, I'll be checking out several of these videos. Thanks for sharing.

    So, I'm actually a diesel mechanic by trade but getting into full restorations! Just wanted to say thanks for all your videos! Perfect for a beginner
  • I save guitar strings for removal of glued items even glass. High e and b strings are smooth, the other strings have ridges that help cut but may be too thick for some applications.

    Wow, Ray really knows his stuff! He made it happen. You should've had that pro do the whole thing.
  • @latvius7600
    Thanks for showing this! I may give that roll on primer a try!
  • @cultusgti
    Considering the spec called for it's a nice job

    Cool vid. Not Ford's best Mustang design, but it is what it is. I absolutely would have taken the trunk cargo strips off and left any body molding off and filled the holes. This car could have been turned into a nice muscle car, which all Mustangs should be.

    Clear guitar string is best to use to remove labels and weather stripping. Guitar string is way more stronger than fishing line.
