February/2002

Em Fevereiro eu já havia encontrado a funilaria que iria fazer a pintura do carro e, portanto, eu precisaria remover as últimas peças. O carro iria para a pintura totalmente desmontado. Algumas ultimas peças de painel, detalhes externos. O mais trabalhoso nesta ultima etapa de desmontagem foi a remoção dos vidros, principalmente o dianteiro e traseiro, porque ainda eram colados com uma "meleca" preta que nunca seca, a qual daria muito trabalho para ser limpa mais tarde, tanto na carroceria quanto nos proprios vidros. Após tudo isso, o carro estava pronto para um banho de loja, digo, de tinta.

In February, I had already found the paint shop that was going to take care of the Mustang. However, there were still few pieces that needed to be removed. Some external trims, some other dashboard pieces I wanted to remove and, least but not least, the windows. This was by far the toughest job. These cars still had their windshields and rear windows glued with that black stuff that never dries (I think they called it Butyl). The thing is sticky and really difficult to get rid off. Anyway, after two or three sessions, the car was ready to go to the paint shop.
