I Pulled a 1986 Hatchback Out of a Field

I'm getting the last major pieces done for the '86 Mustang over the next week and the car will be finished and put up for sale. It's hard to believe 4 years has passed since I started with it.

It's down to the last pieces of the wrap and the '86 Mustang can be final assembled and given a good wash. I hadn't wrapped the spoiler, and had never done one to this point since my other wrap work was based on the widebody coupe (notchback). I had a method in mind that worked out mostly as planned. From here it's just the hood and front bumper to finish up, asemble the last few pieces and we're done.

Nice work on the rear spoiler. Looks Great!

But Seriously . . . Wearing a Chevy Racing Beanie while working on a FORD Mustang! That's just sacrilige!

I finished up the '86 yesterday with the last pieces, gave it a good vacuum inside, put the battery back in and it fired right up. I backed it outside for a few pictures and get a good look in the sunlight. It's everything I had envisioned 4 years ago when I brought it home and started formulating a plan for it. I hope to give it a good wash today and film for one final video in the YouTube series. It's finally done and for sale!

And I won't needle everyone with the Chevy hat anymore.

This should be the last video in the series as I have put the '86 up for sale. I have a timeline to sell it this year, and if it doesn't sell, I'll keep it and do some more work to it. My wife really likes the hatchbacks and this one is so original she wants to keep it going.
