[alan dotson]

my mustang needs help I just got it from craigslist and I want to do so much to it but limited on funds its a 99 ford mustang v6 automatic. The paints faiding, the previous owner instaed of painting the stripes on, put stickers. The car almost cries to me "fix me fix me".

Welcome to WickedStangs.
What did you have in mind in terms of what you want to do?

I was thinking a paint job removing all the paint and starting all over maybe white with blue stripes. This is how bad this paint job was ok instead of removing all the paint(car was originally red) they just painted over it. You ask how do I know this paint is chiping off and I see the red under. I was also thinking a dual exhuast some things with the engine give it a bit more power.

I really just want to focus more about whats under the hood then how pretty it looks but, my car looks like its been sitting rotting in a junkyard somewhere

thanks I just wish I had a 600 dollar wet blaster to remove the paint myself

I don't know of any wet blasters, but good old sanding always works. If you take the front fenders off, I have a blast machine that they'll fit into and the paint comes off quickly.

Normally, if someone wants to get together, they can post up here. We have a monthly meeting on the first Wednesday of each month at Perry Ford in National City at 6pm. We sometimes try to get a get together on Wednesdays, known as Wicked Wednesday.

you know whats funny I ordered that scraper from amazon and they sent the package with my name on it but with somebody elses stuff on the inside. First time thats ever happened to me. Got a butt load of apoligies from amazon and from that fender so not only do I get to keep the scrapers that were sent to me I also am getting the scraper that you told me to get so its a win win
