Today I removed the rear bumper, end caps and deck lid. The deck lid was sanded to bare metal and the back side still has the original black paint.

Is it a true "R" or "Q" code car? Very cool Rusty. My uncle use to tell about this car when he had the Nitro 9 car. But I never got to see it run. I saw my uncle's old Nitro 9 car at Mecum Kissimmee back in '17 and other than the lettering and a 2X4 setup it was just like it was when he raced it back in the late 70's early 80's. Good luck with the resto and I can't wait to see done.

It's a R code Mach 1.

This is the Cobrastang before it was painted.



After it was painted candy blue, magenta, green, and red.



I wasn't sure what color the base was under the candy. I thought it was white and when I sanded the fiberglass end cap you can see magenta, white and black.



I sprayed three coats of SPI black epoxy on the deck lid.

I sanded the fenders down to bare metal
