Album info

My plan was for this to be a quick build to get the mojo topped off. It has indeed been a relatively quick build, but not as quick as I had orginally planned. I wanted to make a clunker out of it, all rusty and stuff.

That changed when the 2 minute BRG paint job turned out pretty nice, too nice to completely ruin anyway. Then, somehow I got into detailing the engine and engine bay which accounts for most of the time I spent on the Ford. The paint was kept shiny until the last moment when I decided to take the edge off so to speak. That polished paint is a dust magnet and it just annoys the crap out of me. I don't have to worry about that anymore and I can pick it up without worrying about finger prints as well.

Because this was meant to be a quick one, I didn't spend any time on the interior other than paint and I didn't do anything about the high rear stance which I don't really like but I realized it sat like that too late. Other than that, I like the result and I'm pleased with the engine bay detailing. It's going into the cabinet with bonnet up, otherwise what's the point of even doing the detailing.
