    No booth, in the backyard when it was fixin to rain. Used a 20 dollar cambell hausfield gun and no dryer in the airline. I am amazed it didnt fuck up. I plan on buying a dryer before doing more work. Maybe a makeshift booth too. I have a stang bumper and lights on the back, but the stockers are in the shed.

              Also real men drive by the rev limiter. Not some stupid factory redline on a tach.

                I've hit the rev limiter twice in a car, once when I ran through 1-2 on an SVT Focus and I held 1st too long, while playing designated driver, and once in my mom's taurus, when I went to go from D to OD while accelerating onto the highway, and I missed OD and went straight to neutral at 3/4 throttle and 4.2K...surprisingly it shot up to 5500 pretty quick.

                      For the roof I had to sand to bare metal so it wouldnt rust. Then I applied ospho to it. It turns all the rust black and prevents it from spreading. Sand it smooth and primer and paint that stuff. For the non rusty spots, I just scuffed it and sprayed it. Clean the surface with paint thinner or something, wipe it dry and spray.

                        I've always liked the Capri bubble hatches, it gives it a little Porsche 924/944 flavor. But Man throw the stock Capri taillights back on it!! Those Stang T-lights look like crap on there.

                                20 dollar cambell hausfield gun via walmart. Can style. Works well enough for my uses.
