Progress report

Now that the car shell is painted I can start assembling things FINALLY! The last few days I have spent sorting through front end and suspension parts to find out what I have and need. I ended up sandblasting some parts and repainting them as you can see in some of the pictures their was quite a lot of stuff. I now have the front suspension and steering built and installed, the rear differential is also repainted and installed. My plan is to put the engine and trans in on Friday if all goes well I will also run fuel and brake lines. I will have more pictures of the whole car soon. Oh ya by the way the picture with the vin number and other info was taken to show you how I restored it but I forgot to take the picture after I got it done...will do it next time.

My new throw down truck

I almost forgot to tell you I got a new ride, it is a 2002 Ford F-250 Lariat 4x4 crew cab, swb, 7.3 litre powerstroke diesel. I sold my gas burner and got a diesel so I could lay down a bigger carbon footprint, lol. No I got it so I could pull stuff with ease and I wanted a 4x4 to go deer hunting in Nebraska. I love the truck and can't wait to see what it looks like pulling the mustang to Florida!!!

Paint time

I finally have something to write about, yes it is true the car has paint on it now. After several times sealing and blocking we got the car ready for paint and sprayed it today. The doors, fenders, hood, and deck lid are not painted yet but getting the shell done was a huge thing because now I can start putting the car together again. The first thing I have to do is finish spraying the gator gaurd on the underneath side, detail the rearend and springs out because I got overspray on them, and then I will put the new suspension in it. After I get all of that done I plan on dropping the engine and transmission in it, running all of the wiring front and back, and then start on the interior and dash. Here are some pictures to look at and as always I am uploading all of the videos I take to youtube.com....go there and search the username andy67stang to find my videos. Talk again soon, Andy
