March 10, 24- Angel’s Full-Body Priming
After the sandblasting was completed, the Mustang was primed all over. Two weeks later, Big Chief decided to hit it again with another coat of primer all over the Mustang, just to make sure it was good and protected. He and Tim did a very thorough air-blasting all over the Mustang to get any and all dust particles off, and then Big Chief primed everything in a second coat.
March 9- Angel’s Sandblasting, Part III
Here’s the last of the pics of Angel’s sandblasting…some close ups of the frame around the doors, and the doors themselves, mostly. There were a lot of rust pinholes, which, after blasting, became significant pock-marks. We’ll be discussing this with Angel after Big Chief has made a decision whether to repair them with metal filling or just replace the doors altogether. There are a few places where Bondo has shown up on other parts of the body, so these areas will require a decision as well.
March 8- Angel’s Sandblasting, Part II
Here’s Angel’s Mustang up on the rotisserie, and the sandblasting is going smoothly. Unfortunately, we’re finding bondo on the fenders which some past owner had used it in lieu of lead filling to repair some dents in the body. This will require us to to lead filling and smooth everything out, which will take some time, but we’re very good with lead filling and have done it numerous times in the past.
March 6- Angel’s Sandblasting, Part I
We’re sandblasting the doors and fenders of Angel’s coupe before we move on to blast the unibody itself. You can also see us mounting the unibody onto the rotisserie brackets so we can blast the whole Mustang all the way around.
March 4- Angel’s Loading to Sandblast
Here’s PDog loading Angel’s Mustang up to take it down to our shop, where it will be sandblasted after we load it up on the rotisserie.
