The Ford Mustang is a legendary series of American automobiles manufactured by Ford. It has been in continuous production since 1964, making it the longest-produced Ford car nameplate. As the namesake of the “pony car” automobile segment, the Mustang was developed as a highly styled line of sporty coupes and convertibles derived from existing model lines, initially distinguished by its “long hood, short deck” proportions.

The Mustang continued to evolve throughout the years, including the 1971 Ford Mustang model, which was a part of the third generation of Mustangs. The 1971 Mustang featured larger and heavier designs, and while it may have strayed from the “go-fast” focus of earlier Mustangs, it remains a beloved classic car to this day.

Media blasting is a process that involves using abrasive materials, such as sand or glass beads, to remove old paint, rust, and other debris from the surface of a vehicle. This process is an important step in preparing the vehicle for a new paint job, as it ensures that the new paint will adhere properly and provide a smooth, even finish. At Texoma Classics, we use state-of-the-art media blasting equipment to ensure that the surface of the vehicle is clean and ready for painting. Once the media blasting is complete, we carefully inspect the vehicle for any remaining debris or damage, and then begin the painting process using high-quality paints and finishes.

Removing the fenders, hood, grille, and deck lid is an important step in the restoration process, as it allows our technicians to access the underlying components of the vehicle more easily. This can include the engine, transmission, suspension, and other systems that may need to be repaired or restored. By removing these exterior components, we can also inspect the underlying structure of the vehicle for signs of rust, corrosion, or other damage that may need to be addressed.

Blocking off the windows is a critical step when media blasting a vehicle, as it helps to protect the interior of the vehicle from damage caused by the abrasive materials used during the media blasting process. Media blasting involves using high-pressure air to blast abrasive materials, such as sand or glass beads, onto the surface of the vehicle to remove old paint, rust, and other debris. This process can generate a significant amount of dust and debris, which can easily find its way into the interior of the vehicle if not properly blocked off.

After media blasting a vehicle, we can get a clear view of how the metal looks and identify any areas that may need to be repaired or restored. Media blasting is a highly effective method for removing old paint, rust, and other debris from the surface of a vehicle, revealing the underlying metal that may be in need of attention. By examining the metal after media blasting, our technicians can identify any areas of damage or corrosion that may need to be addressed, such as dents, scratches, or rusted areas.

Removing the rear passenger quarter panel is an important step in the restoration process, especially if the panel is damaged, corroded, or otherwise in need of repair or replacement.

In some cases, we may be able to repair the existing quarter panel using welding, sanding, or other techniques. However, in other cases, the panel may need to be replaced entirely. If a replacement panel is needed, we use high-quality replacement parts to ensure that the panel fits correctly and matches the original design of the vehicle.

Cutting off both the driver and passenger rear quarter panels is a significant step in the restoration process, and it is usually done when the panels are extensively damaged, corroded, or otherwise in poor condition. The quarter panels are an important exterior body panel that covers the rear portion of the vehicle, and they are responsible for providing structural support, as well as contributing to the overall appearance of the vehicle.
