Uh, I'm near the Gulf Coast. 
South of Ocala, north of Tampa, in between Leesburg & Crystal River, in a small retirement village called Inverness. Nobody else lives here except a few people with blue hair, wheelchairs and handicapped parking permits.
I'm a minimum of 50 miles in any direction from anyplace exciting. On weekends, it's more like 100 miles tho.

Yeah, we discovered the bike fest about the same time I sold my Kawasaki 1100. The wife wasn't fond of wearing a helmet in this heat so we always took a car everywhere while the bike gathered dust.
That's when I knew I needed another convertible.

Wheel is fixed - whew!
The Hubby met the guy at a car dealership and since it took longer than he expected he only charged us $75. It looks pretty good so I'm off Mustang restriction. I can see some color difference along the lip where it was damaged the most but I can live with it. The guy said that he had just done a wheel repair on our opposite - a white GT500 with red stripes.
Before pictures on at the beginning of this thread. After pictures -

I didn't realize the stock Brembo brake pads were so dust prone. I'd swap out to something with less dust ASAP, EBC Redstuff worked well for me.
I clocked my "new" take-off GT500 wheels on a way-too long curb right before my last track day, felt like such an idiot. Wife did the same thing to her Audi wheels the week before. And I did the same thing pulling out of the DiscounTire lot with my brand-new 20s two weeks after owning the car!
Curbs suck...

Wow! I'm amazed they can repair wheels like that. I'm so careful with curbs, but I can see a repair in my future at some point. I'm happy your repair looks so good.
Looks good as new.
