Ballard Paint and Body

Most damage in a restoration doesn’t happen during the build.

It happens during disassembly.

⸻

Before any metal work…
Before any paint…
Before a single part is restored…

This car is carefully taken apart—piece by piece.

Not just removed.
Documented. Tagged. Preserved.

⸻

Every component tells a story:
• Original fasteners
• Factory markings
• Assembly line finishes
• Placement, orientation, and wear patterns

Once those details are lost… they’re gone for good.

⸻

On a car like this, disassembly isn’t a teardown.

It’s an investigation.

⸻

Every part is:
• Cataloged
• Labeled
• Stored with intention

So when it goes back together, it doesn’t just look right—

It is right.

⸻

This is the part most people never see.

But it’s the reason the final result matters.

Some cars you restore…
Some cars you preserve…
And then there are the ones you respect.

We’re excited to share our latest project at Ballard Paint & Body:

👉 1968 Shelby Mustang — Factory 4-Speed Car

This isn’t just another build.

This car still carries:
✔️ Original Shelby VIN tag
✔️ Factory door tag
✔️ Original build sheet
✔️ Assembly line markings and wiring tags

And now it’s getting the full Ballard treatment.

Our goal isn’t to overbuild it…
👉 It’s to bring it back the right way.
• Correct color
• Correct finishes
• Correct details
• No shortcuts

This one deserves it.

We’ll be documenting the entire restoration process—from where it sits today to the final turn of the key.

Follow along.

This is going to be a special one.
