I wanted to promote my friend Roy Honsaker. He has recently went into business for himself restoring vintage cars. He has 20 + years experience restoring classic mustangs and previously worked at Paul's Automotive Engineering in Cincinnati, OH. Some cars that he did that are featured in National Magazines:

http://www.hotrod.com/featuredvehicles/hrdp_0502_1966_ford_mustang_coupe/index.html

He is the best body and paint guy I know. He also does full restorations. The cars look flawless. He specializes in concourse cars. He doesn't just do Mustangs either. He is restoring a 1966 Corvette. His shop is at his house and his work is cheaper than going to a restoration facility. He is currently looking for future cars to work on when he is finished with my 1969 R code and the 1966 Corvette. If someone is looking for professional restoration work that is cheaper than going to the restoration shop - get into contact with me (BrinkerM1@gmail.com or 859-240-1569) and I will forward you to Roy Honsaker.

I also notice no drips on the floor pans and the lower control arms looked like they were painted cast blast and then taped off painted black not dipped like they're supposed to be Big Al Edited by - bigal on 11/22/2009 17:12:57

Some of us prefer better than factory standards - myself included. The car looks great!

Not fiberglass. It is an aluminum filler and it is very minimal. I would much rather have the panels fit perfect like this than what is suppose to be correct. It is ugy to see a "concours" car with bad panel alignment. Yes the control arms were cast blasted and taped back to paint black. This is going to be a driven car, so feel free to take the points off my judge sheet ;). Yes I also know about the drips, but once again I didn't want them. Roy definately knows about all of this and he has done the drips and correct finishes on the control arms but I wasn't interested in going to that level. I know he did the same panel alignment to the 1965 Shelby GT350 and it won Gold at SAAC Thoroughbred class. I don't think they take points off for the panels lining up too nicely
