I had not planned on putting the Mustang II on a rotisserie but the more I thought about it I could not just leave the undercarriage looking like this. Brian and I (mostly Brian) fit it on the rotisserie yesterday.
Yesterday I sprayed 3 coats of SPI orange waiting 45 min between coats and today I sprayed 3 coats of SPI Universal clear waiting 30 min between coats.
The seats came in today from Mustangs Unlimited still waiting for the seat tracks
Last weekend I decided it was time to spray a couple coats of SPI black epoxy on the undercarriage
Today I painted the hinges. I know its not a lot of progress but you can't install the doors, hood or rear hatch without them
I wet sanded the body with 400 getting it ready for paint
Windshield was removed
Rear glass installed in the hatch

Today Brian cleaned all that nasty mess from under the windshield.
No rust in the right windshield pillar.
He found this on the drivers side.
Brian cut out the rust and welded in a patch.

I finished wet sanding all that is left before paint is for Brian to tape and I will be spraying orange this weekend.
Yesterday before Brian went home he got the body ready for paint. Finished taping, moved it in the booth and wiped it down with SPI wax and grease remover.
I got up early and was at the shop at 5:30 and mixed up a cup of reduced SPI white epoxy and sprayed a sealer coat. Around 9 I will start spraying orange.

It is hard to get the true color. In the booth it's to light and outside looks red. It is somewhere in between. Brian has been wet sanding the body and should start buffing soon.
