Dynacorn 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback Reproduction Body - Lookin' Good



Dynacorn 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback Chrome Bumper
The welded bumper and mounting-bracket assembly are ready to go to the chrome shop. It will return as a complete unit ready to install and guaranteed to fit the car.		 Dynacorn 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback Body Work
This fellow has been working on the Dynacorn body since the beginning. Here, he patiently works the panels to perfection.		 Dynacorn 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback Door
On the other side of the car, this completed, smooth finish almost jumps out of the photo for us. Notice the perfectly uniform door gaps.
Dynacorn 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback Body Filler
Last-minute touch-ups are done even as the paint preparation and papering of the car begins. Walking around the car, the painter notices a blemish in the headlight bucket. Any imperfection that stops his eye is addressed.		 Dynacorn 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback Prep Work
The papering is nearly finished and continues until the skirt around the car is completely sealed against the lift. The repair to the headlight bucket is nearly done.		 Dynacorn 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback Ready For Primer
There are a few items that will be shot separately from the car. Since the spray booth is off-site and won't be necessary for a primer coating, this lower front valance panel is nearly ready and will be shot on the stand.
Dynacorn 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback Prep Klean
PCL Prep Klean is used to remove surface contaminants such as wax, grease, oil, silicone, or tar. Prep Klean also removes adhesives from the surface to be painted.		 Dynacorn 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback Cleaning
Here, two workers wipe the Dynacorn Mustang with a clean cloth wetted with Prep Klean. To prevent fish eyes and adhesion problems, every panel must be wiped down completely. If you omit this step, then all bets are off.		 Dynacorn 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback Cleaning
The painter goes over the car with compressed air and a tack cloth. A tack cloth shouldn't be pressed on because the tack substance can be wiped off onto the car.
Dynacorn 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback House Of Kolor Paint
House of Kolor supplied the materials for the Dynacorn Mustang project. Shown here is the two-part primer that will be used to seal the car. Directions must be followed exactly and the product carefully mixed. The material hardens by chemical reaction, not evaporation.		 Dynacorn 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback Primer
Using a slow, consistent motion, the painter lays down a layer of primer onto the car. He starts at the rocker moldings and works his way up.		 Dynacorn 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback Primer
Here's the completed job. The car will set up overnight, allowing the primer to cure. The Dynacorn project is really coming together, and the next part of our story will be the finished paint job, rumored to be a bright red. We'll continue to cover this interesting project through to completion for the '07 SEMA show.
