At Mustang Craftsmen, our passion for restoration isn’t limited to the classics of the 1960s—we bring that same commitment to excellence to every generation of Mustang. This 1979 Mustang Indy Pace Car was a standout project that challenged our team’s attention to detail and showcased our versatility.

While best known for our custom Mustang restorations, we also offer high-end body and paint work for newer vehicles. This particular Pace Car restoration pushed both disciplines to the forefront. The car featured 62 factory-correct decals, each with its own precise placement and contour alignment. Reapplying these graphics demanded meticulous preparation, an expert eye, and deep respect for Ford’s original specifications.

The body was stripped, repaired, and reconditioned before receiving a fresh coat of factory-matched paint. Every curve, edge, and surface was prepped to perfection to ensure each decal would lay flat and line up flawlessly. The result is a stunning tribute to one of Ford’s most iconic special edition Mustangs—accurate, clean, and show-ready.

Whether it’s a vintage Shelby or a late-model collectible, Mustang Craftsmen delivers award-winning quality and authenticity in every restoration. This 1979 Pace Car is just one more example of how we combine craftsmanship with historical accuracy to bring these legendary machines back to life.
