This project is not being performed at the college, but at home with my boys, Jordan and Jacob. We bought this 1966 Mustang last summer as a father-son project. We don't have the time or money to do a full restoration. Therefore, our plan is not to build a show car, but a nice looking car that you can drive on a daily basis. We will have to repair as much as possible, because we have a low budget for the project.
We decided to do this low budget project and video some of the steps as a guide for other parents that may want to do a parent-child project. Again, it you're looking to do a full restoration (show car quality) these may not be the steps to follow. You're probably going to completely disassemble the car and rebuild piece-by-piece.
Check back as we get this Mustang back on the roads.
Light Bar installation - In this video we are installing a 50 inch light bar from Auxbeam on a 2004 GMC Sierra pick-up. This is a straight light bar that mounts on the roof. You will need brackets for your make and model. more information about the light bar and brackets below.

I had some of you ask me where you can get one of the mixing lids or cups like I use in the video. I found some online for you to check out. The lids are very helpful and make mixing much easier. Here are the links

The first photos of the Firebird is my favorite car photo. Watch the video and tell us which car is your favorite car in the comments below.
http://CollisionBlast.com - I attended a collision repair training class at SEMA 2012. This class was taught by Shawn Collins by 3M. The class touched on the importance of recommended procedures and SOP (standard operating procedures). They also discussed some of the common problems they have found among body shops and the results of their research and testing of the problems.

In this video we are going to apply primer surfacer. The repair has already been cleaned, masked and sprayed with epoxy primer. Now the filler primer or primer surfacer ia applied to fill any scratched left by the sanding. Once the primer surfacer is applied, you can block sand the surface, which should be ready for sealer, paint and clear. If not, it may be necessary to repeat this step. The goal is to sand all of the guide coat off without sanding through the primer surfacer ot epoxy coatings.
Step 1 - Mix the primer surfacer (most primer surfacers do NOT have an induction time. mix and spray)
Step 2 - Read the procedure pages for specific recommendations. For the primer we used, the epoxy requires a flash time of 30 minutes. This means that the primer should dry for at least 30 minutes. However, this epoxy has a 72 hour window. This means that you have up to 72 hours to spray on top of it without sanding. If more than 72 hours has passed, you must scuff the panel to provide mechanical adhesion.
Step 3 - Apply the primer to surface. Again, read your procedure pages. This primer state to apply to coats. Be sure to wait the recommended flash time between coats.
Now allow the primer to dry thoroughly, before block sanding. The primer we used said to wait at least 3 hours, but I always like to wait longer to ensure it had adequate time to dry.

FREE access to training at http://CollisionBlast.com - This video we're changing the automatic transmission fluid and filter on the 1966 Ford Mustang. We also reveal who the winner is of the Craftsman Tool Set Giveaway is. The mustang was slipping in and out of gear. This is an indication that the transmission fluid and filter need changed. I remember way back in high school my Camaro doing this. I discussed it with may auto mechanic instructor and he had me change the fluid and filter. It fixed the problem and I hope this fixes the problem on the Mustang too.
So if you you have an older automatic transmission, this video will help you if you should be having this problem.
