Thanks Guy's,
It's been a whirlwind as we (Ant Anstead's Team & I) ONLY started the Mustang restoration in January
Car was in a shocking state having been painted Blue badly, then Burgundy badly over the top of its original colour Signal Flare Red
Starting the Bare Metal to remove Burgundy paint over Blue paint, back to Original Red Paint then Steel.
Then strip panels off down to shell to remove paint on inner wings & under arches.
Discovering extent of arch rot under buckets of filler!
Cutting Out & Making new panels
Interior re-trim with new Dash & Seat Covers, including new steel dash panel welded in & painted to original radio fitting (Butchered out for a modern radio by previous owner)
Full repaint to original colour Signal Flare Red with painted in 10” stripes Flatted & lacquered into the paintwork
We did all this in 2 1/2 Months & I was burning the midnight oil far too much.
Dowsetts Classic Cars are an awesome bunch of really passionate guys working miracles. To enable building the New Comet, normal classic restoration is required.
The skills of this hand assembled team by Ant, is truly amazing.
The best kept secret is the hourly rate is ONLY £42 per hour (+VAT) yet the quality is off the scale.
