Restoration Blunders - 27 Restoration Pitfalls To Avoid

We Talk To Professional And Amateur Mustang Restorers About Those Miserable Resto Blunders To Stay Away FromWhen it comes to restoration projects, we can tell you we've been there in this magazine's 31-year history. And we've worked closely with others who have also been there. The neat thing about this job is what we learn doing it. In those three decades, we've made more than our share of mistakes-some really stupid, some we'd never admit to even our closest friends, and some that were embarrassingly exposed right here in these pages. Our goal here is to help you avoid mistakes with true confessions from those who've made them, including us.inline_mediumwraptextrightPaint Job On The Cheap
There's no such thing as a good low-buck scuff and shoot paint job. There are passable budget paint jobs that look good for now. However, they will never last. Chris Burns of Santa Barbara Musclecars lays it all out for us, "Go with a scuff and shoot paint job and you are asking for serious problems down the road. That's just throwing away whatever you've just spent." Good body prep and the best materials are everything to a quality paint job that will last.29770746/techarticles/mump_0910_restoration_blundersmump_0910_01_+restor ation_blunders+paint_job.jpgTrue
