Before a single drop of final paint goes on Jeff’s 1965 Mustang, every removable panel gets fitted, checked, and approved.
Hood, doors, trunk, trim - everything gets hung and verified for gap consistency and alignment. If something is off here it gets corrected now, not after the paint is on. Once the color goes down, the gaps are permanent.
The body has already been through full rust repair, stripped to bare metal, and powder coat primed throughout. Lizard Skin sound and heat control in the interior, polyurea undercoating underneath, satin black powder coat on the engine compartment and interior surfaces.
All of that work deserves a paint job that’s right. Panel fitment is how we make sure it is.

Misplaced my yard stick to measure the clearance on this one 😆

Bob's 1970 Pontiac Firebird just came back from Finish Line Automotive Interiors in Santa Clara and the interior result speaks for itself.
Custom rear package tray, seat delete area housing the speakers and electronics, storage compartments built into the floor. Every piece of carpet hand cut and sewn from German wool loop. Headliner and door panels fitted to original spec. The goal was simple, make it look like it could have left the factory this way. Race prepped from day one, like Pontiac built it for the track themselves.
Now the exterior gets the same treatment. Trim and badging are coming off, the car goes to paint for final rework and cut and buff, then straight to PPF installation.
Inside finished. Outside next.

Every project at FFR starts the same way.
We sit down with the owner, understand the goals, and build a plan based on what the initial evaluation tells us. On this 1960 El Camino that meant a clear scope going in, rust repair, full mechanical restoration, brakes, steering, suspension, fuel system. All of it identified upfront, all of it planned before a single bolt came off.
Then disassembly begins. Not to discover what’s wrong - we already know that - but to confirm it and uncover anything the evaluation couldn’t see. On this car, that was the rear differential. The plan was to reseal it and address the bearings. Once it was apart it was clear that wasn’t going to be enough. We stopped, brought the owner in, walked through the findings together, and agreed on a path forward - a Ford 9 inch upgrade with rear disc brakes at the same time.
Now everything is known. No question marks, no mid project surprises, no calls the owner didn’t expect. We found everything that could have caught us off guard before the build got momentum.
That’s the point of the process. Now the real work begins.

Rust repair isn’t about replacing metal.
It’s about understanding what’s left, what’s missing, and how to put the structure back the right way.
Ron’s El Camino is officially underway.

Making room for something serious.
Michael and Jose fabricating custom panels for the engine compartment and opening up the transmission tunnel on Eugene’s Fox body Mustang - all to fit a Coyote engine and 10R80 transmission.
This isn’t a bolt in swap. The car has to be reshaped to accept the drivetrain correctly.

Nobody here reads Cyrillic. Doesn’t matter.
The factory manual for our 1965 Zaporozhets is so thoroughly illustrated that the language is almost secondary. Every fastener dimension, every cotter pin, every zerk fitting, all documented with hand drawn technical diagrams precise enough to machine a part from scratch if you had to.
There’s probably a reason for that. This car was built to be maintained and repaired anywhere in the Soviet Union, by anyone, with whatever tools and materials were available. The manual had to be that good.
While the body is out getting powder primed we’re using it to plan the suspension and mechanical restoration phase. Sixty years later, it’s still doing its job.
