So here is Hooptie sitting in front of the Paint Shop getting ready to be moved in. They are going to strip it down to bare metal and start building it back up to the Gloss Black Finish!!! They said I would see it in 4 weeks.

I took a few pictures of the Progress on the Bump... I'm really excited about getting it back and I am very impressed with the progress these guys are making. Their attention to detail shows and I'm glad I picked them to do the Job...

So the Previous Owner painted all the side moldings flat black and whatever that paint is, its being a mother to get off of the molding. What would you recommend to use to strip the moldings without doing any damage to them. They had the Wood Grain Sticker on them and I want to make that all Semi Gloss Black. On the good side of this the Moldings are in really good shape except the rear moldings on the bed where the Side Marker Lites are. Anyway I appreciate any help you can give with this...

So One of the Gifts Im going to be giving my Wife this year is a set of keys to her Mustang in a Box with a Note that says start me. I have just about got it ready but I am having some issues trying to get the starter to engage. The Seleniod is engaging and I have voltage on the Starter side of the Selenoid but the starter isn't engaging. The Starter is a New High Torques mini starter and has been on the car for close to three years... Im going to remove the starter and take a close look at it to see if maybe it coroded inside if so I will clean it out and rotate it a few times then put it back in... Anyway wish me Luck!!!

Ok, So I figured it out... On the Powermaster Starter for external selenoid type starters you have to jumper the two terminals on the Starter. Jumpered them and it works like a champ!!! So Tomorrow the Mustang will be lit off for the first time. I hope My Wife gets a huge smile on her face when it starts for the first time...
