This killer Mustang was just delivered to a good client of mine the other day. It came directly to me after sitting in their staging area waiting for it to get shipped to his dealer. It is a bad azz machine! Sounds great! Looks great! Has fantastic reviews/specs/performance. I am digging it!

Overall it was in very good shape. Some minor swirls, marring and a few very small scuffs. A little correction/gloss enhancement prior to it getting coated was on order.
This vehicle had sat at the shipping terminal for weeks…Ford made an error on the stripe color, they are supposed to be Kona Blue, however these are a different color due to their vinyl supplier. They were going to wait to get the proper color stripes, but my client told them to ship it anyway…so he now has a one off color combination! Pretty cool!

I don’t know what happened to it while it sat, but it looks like it sat in New Orleans during TS Barry! Tons of dirt, mud, etc in the wheel wells, engine compartment, etc. I was very surprised. It also had a load of ferrous contamination.

Thank you for looking!






















 
it's hard to make white look great, but not for you. nice work car look's awesome.
 
Wow! Gorgeous patient, Doc.

Those wheels took a bunch of balance weight! LOVE those Pilot Sport Cup 2's on it. Also the CF interior trim.

I would've grabbed it too with the off spec painted stripes. He has a little story to tell of his one-of-a-kind GT.
 
Looks great! LOL that while you were detailing a white Mustang, I was too. I'll try and call you later today since we were never able to connect.
 
As Always Fantastic Work! Seeing the GT350 Makes my heart go pitter patter! Can't wait to see what's new on the 2020 GT350R! Rumor has it that it has a few upgrades like they did to the 2019 GT350. KEEP ON ROCKING!
 
Never fail to impress that's for sure. That Ford black trim is very finicky, but looks great. Those things sound so evil in the upper RPMs.
 
Thank you thank you!

OK Tim, I shot you a call Saturday, went to VM. Funny both of us doing white Stangs!! LOL
 
Very cool, Scott!!

We just got the exact one in at the dealer on Thursday.

What a car!
 
Looks great, Scott! Those lug nuts need torqued to a crazy 150 ft/lbs. I had white stripes on my GT350 and couldn't remove them fast enough.
 
^^^They were ridiculously loose when I removed them!

Appreciate the comments everyone!
 
Awesome work Scott!

Cool story with the stripes. And man that was a lot of iron particals and industrial fallout on a new car! Must have been sitting near or transported by train. Now the customer have it looking at it's best cause of you. The rpm gauge goes up high and must sound awesome when it's getting in the higher range of the rpm. Beutieful car!

^^Tony, they rev like crazy and sound so good in the upper RPM ranges!!!! Redline is 8250 rpm!
 
Awesome job. Crazy to see how far the 350 has come since the 1960s. Imo it needs more gears on the trans though. Mileage is a bit low.

I dont think the owner has them but one of the wheel upgrades has carbon fiber. It sheds alot of weight for better track times but costs a fortune per wheel
 
At least it will look beautiful sitting in the service dept waiting on the VooDoo engine to be replaced after the factory one blows up.
 
Awesome, I have a 2019 GT350 myself in Magnetic Gray. I found the clearcoat to be pretty hard, and had to use more aggressive methods to get out even the smallest of swirls. Did you find that as well?
 
Thanks all!

Nope this one didn't have the CF wheels. The black one I did had them, and they were light!!!

maximusppl: I found this paint to be medium IMO.
