Sorry missed this one the other day. Yes the "primer" can fade due to the elements, chemicals (oil, grease...)  and other stuff thrown up from the road ways. If you clean a section of the floor pan of the top coat of oxidation and other stuff the under lying finish is normally slightly different, smoother and glossier in my experience
Jeff, you can probably make out in the pic of Troy blasting the car (6th post of this thread) and give your opinion, it was in storage for approx 15 years and has very low miles...

a couple of shots of trailering the cars, 66 to the body shop, and the 64 to the shed to prep for the body shop...

I was so glad when I joined a Mustang club and discovered that there were other people as crazy as me!
A couple of years ago I help my dad restore a 64 1/2 D code and now he is doing a 68 GTCS. He has it just as bad as I do.
Have fun. Marty

Thanks Marty, when the bug bites, it bites hard, I've been crazy about Mustangs ever since I saw my first 64 coupe some 22 years ago.
Your dad's convertible turned out fantastic, and being a 64 I'd be very interested in hearing some of your restoration process, how far along is the '68 or was a recent photo?

G'Day fellow Mustangers!

Busy Saturday in the workshop prepping and priming fenders for the 64 1/2.

Hope you're all tinkering or cruising...
Enjoy the weekend ;)

Well one has come back and the other is off, time for body work to step up a notch and try and get this old gal prepped for paint.
