The Initial Condition of the Vehicle

When the 1968 Ford Mustang arrived at Dent Depot, it was a shadow of its former glory. The car had been sitting in a garage for decades, collecting dust, rust, and dents. The paint was faded, the chrome was tarnished, and the interior was in desperate need of refurbishment. The team at Dent Depot faced a significant challenge, but one they eagerly accepted.

Assessment and Planning

Before diving into the restoration, the experts at Dent Depot conducted a thorough assessment. This included:

  • Evaluating the extent of rust and damage.
  • Listing necessary parts replacements.
  • Planning a timeline for the restoration process.

With a comprehensive plan in place, the team was ready to begin the transformation.

Restoration Process

The restoration journey was meticulous and involved several key stages. The team prioritized structural repairs, ensuring the car's frame was solid and safe. Next came the engine, which required a complete overhaul to bring back its original power and performance.

Bodywork and Paint

The bodywork was perhaps the most labor-intensive part of the project. Every dent was carefully repaired, and the entire body was sanded down to prepare for a fresh coat of paint. The team chose a stunning shade of red to restore the Mustang to its classic look.
