Red does look damn good, But its the one that everyone has it seems like. Not knocking it by any means I loved my red, but the teal just does it for me

Looking on eBay and craigslist, youd think teal was the only color they made.

I agree with that, teals are everywhere.

Yes they are, but they seem to be the same cars that are just being Flipped, or re-listed. I havent seen any NEW teal cars pop up in a while.

Now entering the assembly Stage, I think she is turning out quite nicely. Rolltide, you ready for me to send her back home?

If I was able to buy one right now I would be taking 4993 before my old one even though it is turning out very nicely, but possible job on the horizon so maybe...........

well i hope it works out for you man, I too will be looking for a JOB here soon, I will have my retirement but it's only Half what I was making, I'd like to do Fox Restorations Full time, but I don't think the market is there yet.

If I had your ability on body & paint I would be doing the same thing. I do believe the fox body market is there, with different levels however.

Solid clean lightly restored cars are one level, then comes the speciality cars like Cobra's Saleen's etc.

When NPD jumped into the FOX restoration that shows now is the time to start looking for solid cars to work with.

It's too specialized. I think if you did other Mustangs as well, you may be able to eek out a profit.

More updates to pictures, As for doing it for a living, it would be hard. I have restored just about every year mustang from 66 to 04, so I could do lots of years. But not sure just yet. Just to do a Basic paint restoration like i do, taking them completely apart, new lights, re-do the trim and stuff. I would have to charge at least 7K a car to make any profit with all the labor, and people just do understand how much work goes into taring one down and doing it right.
