The real demolition man


2007 Roush Stage 3 Mustang


Courtesy of Jack Roush, the new and improved Stage 3 Mustang comes through packing a whopping 415 horsepower and 385 ft./lbs. of torque! This power comes from a powerfully engineered ROUSHcharger system on the 3-valve 4.6L V8.
Jack Roush says it best: “This is the best Mustang we have ever built.”
The Stage 3 ROUSH Mustang gets its extra pep via the intercooled supercharger, ROUSH-calibrated ECM, and other supporting modifications. With these modifications, the ROUSH Stage 3 gets a 115 horsepower and 65 ft./lbs. torque increase over the stock ratings. As Roush is known for creating superbly handling vehicles, the 2007 Stage 3 is capable of pulling 1g on the skidpad with aid from suspension modifications. With engineered and tuned front struts, rear shocks, front and rear springs, front and rear swaybars, and a bigger 14″, 2 piece rotor, 4-piston caliper brake setup, this Mustang can handle with the best of them right out of the box!
As typical to the Roush legacy, a full 7-piece urethane body kit is included for the Stage 3. This includes a front fascia, a front chin spoiler, hood scoop, rocker panels, rear fascia, and rear wing professional installed by Roush technicians. Also included are lower valence fog lights, 18″ forged wheels, high performance tires, leather seat covers, embroidered floor mats, billet aluminum pedals, and a Stage 3 electro-luminescent white face gauge cluster. Roush badging is appearant througout the car and a serialized plaque is included in the engine bay. Available options include exterior racing stripes, interior trim kits, locking lug nuts, trunk tool kit, and a short throw shifter with a billet aluminum knob.
The Stage 1 and Stage 2 Roush options are also available for those not wanting the entire performance package, and as with all Roush Mustangs, a 3-year/36,000 mile warranty is included.

In case the Lamborghini Murcielago is too slow and subtle for you, the LP640 has bigger spoilers and 640 hp from its 6.5-liter V-12 — 60 hp up on plain Murcielagos.

Paintless Dent Repair


When you see these orange plugs in a door like this you know that someone had had prior repairs done to the door. The holes were drilled in the door for access, most likely for paintless dent repair tools. If you ever see this, I would look around for other signs of a poor repair.


Here come the snow...

Orange Peel


Here you can see where this side panel has been painted b4 but not completely buffed out. The surface of the panel looks like the surface of an orange "orange peel"

Paint Matching



This is an example of paint not matching . When we repaired the quarter panel and painted it w/ new paint, the new yellow was easy to see against the old yellow of the deck lid. We had to go back and paint / blend the deck lid to match.
