Did it get a clear coat already?  I see you say you are going to color sand it in a month. I thought you do that before you clear coat it then you sand it again is polish it after you do the final sanding.

The painter topped off with clear so that color sanding could be done...

most any paint (except for single stage metallic) can be color sanded provided that there is enough paint on the car to do so.

We have a couple of spots of orange peel that will need some color sanding.

Thanks dugan, actually the first thing I did when I started on the car was replace the entire suspension system. On the front it started with a rack n pinon kit from flaming river, for a V8 spindle set up. I also purchased 1" lower spring for the front from mustangsunlimited. I also upgraded for disk brakes from summit racing...
On the rear I upgraded to four leaf springs also from mustangunlimited and switched to a ford 9" from currie enterprises. I also replaced the rear shocks with grab track adjustables.
The wheels on the car were ordered from centerline and they are 17x7 in the front and 17x8 in the rear. The tires are from discount tire and are...255 (I will look when I get to my house can't quite remember off the top of my head...I will update it)

I think that about does it... I found V8 spindles on eBay and everything else just went together nicely and gave me the stance you are seeing...
