The mustang progresses [OT]
Well a little off topic compared to my usual Flex related posts but I always try to keep my friends and family updated as to the progress on my project car. My mates keep asking whens the first beach run and my girlfriend when can she take it for its first shopping run *shudder*
For those not in the know this convertible mustang started out in a bad way when I found her
I rebuilt the chassis (frame for the US people) and then proceeded to pretty much replace the entire body. Getting it on the chassis machine to check my workmanship etc.
After replacing the entire floor in both the cabin and the boot (trunk) I then had to replace most the engine bay and outer panels….weeeee. Along haul but I can now say I have built a car from scratch.
I also won some awesome Bridgestone rubber so I decided to splash out some pretty mags
Lately I have been slowly putting it back together as time and weather allowed
I went to welding school at MIT to get my welding tickets so I could do everything myself. Its kind of a nice way to break away from the computer and do something with my hands. Now comes the task of panel work and using as little bog (bondo) as possible to get her straight and off to the paint shop. So stay tuned for the beach run photos but as its hailing outside at the moment that may be a while off.










So cool. I cant wait for the ride.
Meee toooo
Nice! I’ve got a project car too. It’s a ‘66 Mustang GT that I inherited from my parents (they were the original owners). Here’s some pics of the engine rebuild process: http://flickr.com/photos/juanchez/sets/447858/
Hey Jaun, sweet looks like your getting all the fancy bits for the engine
should go well. The underside and engine bay look mint, no rust.
I love the look that has been given.
A great work!!
Seeing your progress just makes me want to get my 65 on the road faster. Nice work!
