Thumbs down Don't Ever Make Your Own Body Kit at Home











"1999 Mustang GT. 109K miles. 5 speed. Runs and drives great. Paid a guy to do a custom body on the car. That was 7 months ago. He never finished it so I had to pick it up. I drove it home with no problems. It has plaster on the car for somebody to lay fiberglass on it to make the panels etc. Has a low gear rear end and Very LOUD exhaust and fast. I just need offers for someone to buy it. has the 4.6 V8 with 5 spd manual. Some of the plaster came off on the drive home. Would be a perfect car for a full body kit for someone that can do body work. Has 20" rear and 19" front cobra wheels. Send e-mails with questions and offers. Please be resonable on the offers. Has power windows, Locks, cd player, cold AC. I will also entertian offers from a reputable shop or person to do a full body kit and paint on the car."

they should just destroy the car or have someone steal it and try and claim insurance on it.

Ok before you all jump the gun...I notice a few things.

First off....This is one method of making custom fiberglass body kits. You plaster the shape of the kit, then fiberglass around it, to make a mold. Its not meant to be permanent. Plaster is heavy, and it would totally defeat the purpose of the car.

Some of it though, appears to be bondo, in which case...YIKES.
