Grande69

Welcome to the forums! I, too, own a 1969 Mustang Grande however mine came with the numbers matching 351w and FMX. As far as removing the vinyl top; I had to remove mine because it was old and torn and I didn't like the look of it either. Also the birds decided to finish ripping it apart so I knew it had to go. It took my buddy and I about 5 1/2 hours to peal off all the old vinyl pieces (which btw were glued on) and to sand off all the remaining glue from the roof, degrease the roof, prime it and sprayed it a flat black which is what it is now. A temporary fix, if you will, until it comes time to paint. I didn't have to remove any of the chrome trim pieces around the front windshield or rear window or the roof rail chrome, however I took a good while trimming the remaining vinyl out from the corners of the chrome trim pieces and just bondo the holes from the rear window (black) trim filler pieces. One last thing, if your car still has the 4 piece black trim along the rear window carefully remove and Do not throw it away or damage it!! Those pieces are no longer reproduced and the only way to get a set is off of eBay or another mustang. I found that out the hard way. Anyway, congrats on the car and good luck!

Hey I was interested in your 1969 center console and standard instrument clusters if you have them still available. Thanks!

Just got my new seats and carpet in place now. Looks great and feels amazing to sit inside now. Sure beats sitting on saggy springs and foam like I have for the past couple years!!

Finished laying out the sound deadening over the floor pan last weekend, just got the pictures up now. Heres some before and after pictures.

Placed sound deadening throughout the floorpan areas and installing the new carpet next weekend. Then new seats are going in after that.. trying to get her ready for summer cruising before summer hits

New here at the forums and I just wanted to share with ya'll my current project. Its a 1969 Grande from San Antonio, Texas plant and I've been the owner of it for just over 3 years now. Its come a long ways and there is still plenty more to do. It started as a father/son restomod back in 2010 and now has become a "son" project only..hmm.. Anyways heres a couple pictures of it, one is from the first day we got it while its on the truck, the others are a little more current (up until just this last year). I have the numbers matching engine and transmission, engine has been rebuilt and hopped up a little. I'm currently working on the interior and changing it up a bit to my liking. Thanks for tipping in and checking it out and I'll be hanging around on the forum here for quite some time, :thumbup1: See ya'll around!
