The Booth

The facility at AmericanMuscle is nothing less than state of the art. It was designed and built by Global Finishing Solutions, the exclusive paint booth supplier to all OEM-endorsed paint shops. The booth at AmericanMuscle is a fully-loaded GFS system that employs numerous innovative technologies to produce a highly efficient, clean room environment and a minimal carbon footprint. The foundation for this eco-friendly program is the next-generation water-base paint that exceeds the quality and durability of traditional toxic solvent-base paints.

Using a semi-downdraft system, the paint booth achieves optimal painting conditions by shooting air down from the ceiling to evenly coat the painting surface. The air then circulates up and out the back of the booth where is it removed by the comprehensive filter system. This method, combined with air-powered Sata paint guns, provides an optimal formula for finished product that surpasses even OEM factory standards, not to mention a local paint shop.

The AmericanMuscle 14-Step Painting Process

Every painted part from AmericanMuscle undergoes a meticulous 14-step process in order to produce only the highest quality results.

Inspection – Every part is carefully inspected by the AmericanMuscle paint team to determine if it is a viable candidate for the AM paint program.

Sanding – Before the painting even begins, parts are sanded by hand to remove any visible imperfections.

Primer – As the first coat to be applied, primer provides a solid base for the paint and fills any pinholes or other microscopic inconsistencies in the surface.

Sand 2 – Primered parts are sanded a second, time providing a perfectly smooth surface for painting.

Cure – The curing process ensures the primer is dried and set before further coats are applied. To cure the parts, the booth is heated to 185º for 5 minutes, then 170º for 15 minutes, and finally cooled for 3 minutes before the sealed environment is opened for inspection.

Sealer – Before the paint can be applied, all parts are treated with a sealer that facilitates adhesion and long-term durability.

Base Coat 1 – This is the first application of toned paint. Here the color is thin and weak by comparison to the finished product.

Base Coat 2 – The second round of paint builds on the first, effectively bolstering color depth and enhancing a smooth, shiny finish.

Base Coat 3 – A third coat delivers maximum depth in color and durability for long-term use on your Mustang in all possible environments.

Clear Coat – Clear coat is applied to bring out that glossy quality that truly makes a Mustang shine. Clear coat is the most durable layer, providing a hard shell of protection around your Mustang’s exterior.

Clear Coat 2 – To further enhance a strong, glossy exterior, a second clear coat is applied to all parts.

Cure 2 – Once the multiple layers of primer, sealer, base coat and finally clear coat have been applied, trim parts undergo a second curing process in order to achieve a perfect finish.

Cool – After the parts are cured and then cooled inside the paint booth they are removed to the cooling room where they rest undisturbed for an additional 8 to 12 hours.

Wet Sand – The AmericanMuscle master painter carefully examines every part in a final inspection to determine if parts require additional wet sanding to remove any minor imperfections before final packaging.

Now that you’ve got the details, go shop Pre-Painted Mustang Parts for your Pony!

Formula 1. NASCAR. IndyCar. World Rally Circuit. These race series represent the pinnacle in motorsports. Budgets are virtually unlimited and competition is fierce as drivers fight their way to the front every second of every race. When it comes to the cars, superior technology is essential, and every team is on the cutting edge. Among the many weapons they share in their drive to Victory Lane is nitrogen in their tires.

Why nitrogen? Simply put, it far exceeds conventional air inflation in performance, durability and long-term savings (the last of which likely means more to you and me than the Pros). Recognizing the inherent benefit of nitrogen-filled tires, AmericanMuscle is now offering this as an option with all mounted wheel and tire orders. Even better, it’s free. That’s right, I said FREE. Many shops offering nitrogen fills today are charging upwards of $10 a tire. Any way you slice it, that ain’t cheap.

The benefits of nitrogen tire inflation are obvious, and extensive. Nitrogen is an inert gas, so pumping it into your tires eliminates the presence of oxygen and water, both of which are sources of many tire problems. Here are just a few of the benefits of nitrogen:

• Better Performance: Nitrogen-filled tires maintain the same pressure, regardless of ambient and operating temperature. With no water to radically expand and contract with temperature changes, tires keep a constant pressure. This means better performance when things get hot.
• Longer Tire Life: Operating tires at the incorrect pressure is the primary cause of uneven and premature wear. Compared to oxygen molecules, nitrogen molecules are much larger and unable to permeate the tire sidewall. Some reports suggest that nitrogen-filled tires maintain their pressure up to three times longer than non-nitro tires.
• Better Fuel Economy: Under-inflated tires mean higher rolling resistance that requires additional fuel to maintain speed. Tires that don’t lose pressure keep your fuel economy right on track.

Further proving AmericanMuscle’s commitment to offering Mustang owners the total shopping package, the new nitrogen inflation program is offered along with free mounting and balancing, and shipping on all wheel and tire purchases. Add in the company’s guarantee that all mounted wheel and tire packages will ship within three days of ordering and clearly AmericanMuscle.com is the best place to buy wheels and tires for your Mustang, bar none.

There are a lot of good shops in the area, but today we’re going to profile one of our favorites: Swarr Automotive.

Based in the Collegeville, Pa. area, Swarr Auto has the capability to do almost every modification or installation. Though they specialize in transmission, suspension and rear end builds, they have excellent relationships with local paint and body shops and engine builders.

Owner Eric Swarr has been working on Mustangs forever. His father, Jim Swarr, was a legend in the racing industry, and Swarr took over the family business when his father passed away. Having worked with the best of the best, Swarr can truly be considered one of the most knowledgeable in the industry.

Besides the top-notch work done in his shop, Eric Swarr has also designed a part that provides amazing support for 8.8 rear ends. The Swarr Bar was designed for high-performance street and strip racing applications — though it will work nicely on daily drivers, too — and is an easy, bolt-on modification for any Mustang. Constructed of mild tubular steel, the Swarr Bar is TIG welded to ensure
strength and durability, and powder-coated black to last.

The torque produced by high performance Mustangs can cause the rear to flex under load. It’s not fun when it happens, and if you’re looking to prevent it, the Swarr Bar is the way to go. This part also eliminates wheel hop, getting the power to the ground where it’s needed. In an interview with Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords, Swarr pointed out one more benefit to his part.

"It also helps with reaction time," he said. "The stiffer rear allows the car to react quicker because power is used to drive the car, not flex the rear."

So, if you’re looking for rear support that also drops reaction time and eliminates that oh-so-annoying wheel hop, swing by AmericanMuscle.com or give us a call and pick up your very own Swarr Bar.

And if you’re in the area and you’re looking for a shop, give the good folks at Swarr Automotive a call.
