Shelby Cobra Replica build Part 94 Paint Begins

Block sanding & sanding, searching for pinholes etc. filling them & more sanding. Took the time to make a pattern for a later fabrication of some aluminum extras & made one this time also. The color is Crush Orange.
I did not go with the Summit Single stage tropic Orange as originally planned. But I really like this color & the depth. More work to go, not done yet. More fabrications to go also on this Factory five Mark 4 Cobra.

I just painted mine this last weekend. Had 3 colors and clear. Was a long day!!

[@dansgarage2010]

Ya I bet, it was a long day just for the doors and deck lids

[@rbyikes]

@@dansgarage2010 I started at 6:30AM, and pulled the last of the tape off at 2AM. I did clear on Sunday. That wasn't so bad, as I didn't have to do any masking. Now its the dust nibs.

Watch your temps, there have been a few reports of higher engine temps when that area is restricted.

Ok , I appreciate the heads up. Thanks

Hey Dan, what serpentine pulleys are you using?

[@dansgarage2010]

I’m using some stock Mustang balance & water pump pulleys that I got at a swap meet & cleaned & powder coated them. The Alternator pulley came with the alternator.

Great vid. Did you have any paint matching issues shooting the hood, trunk and doors on different days to the main body?
