unfrozen1969 11 Report post Posted July 22, 2009 I converted it to a jpg and this is the error I got when I tried to upload. I'm thinking that it may have something to do with the size of the image itself. It is strange because I use to just take images rioght from my camera, it seems that the settings on my camera have been changed. I will look into this further. Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 39898177 bytes) in /home/ewhoa01/public_html/69stang/mustang/forum/includes/class_image.php on line 2401 Thanks for your help so far.

unfrozen1969 11 Report post Posted July 23, 2009 I have decided to hold on to my convertible until another day when the opportunity arises for me to start my rebuild. Until then the game plan is to build a workshop/garage, and just part out cars as a hobby. What I have learned so far, is that it is more fun to take the cars apart than it has been to put them back together. Regards, Bill from Ottawa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

unfrozen1969 11 Report post Posted September 6, 2009 Well, after having my car for sale for the Summer, I had a couple of potential buyers, but there was no sale in the end. There have been many ups and downs since putting my dream car up for sale, but deep down I am really glad it never sold. One of the guys whole was looking at it, currently owns a 69 silver jade convertible in Quebec, and he said "just hold on to it, it will eventually get built, just be patient". So I have decided to heed his advice, and remain a classic car owner. I still have a 69 coupe to deal with and a basement full of parts to catelogue to determine what I can keep and what I can eventually sell. It only takes time....Thanks for all of your support guys.

Pakrat 1,043 Report post Posted September 8, 2009 Well be sure to at least keep it well covered and preserved as best you can until that day comes. Laying on the ground thru those harsh winters with a flapping tarp letting the elements wont cut it. IN fact, if that day is long off I would even consider getting an encapsulator like POR 15 to go right over all the visible rust and at least stop the cancer dead in it's tracks.

unfrozen1969 11 Report post Posted September 18, 2009 Thanks Pak The convertible has been media blasted and primed, it is clean now. I have finally dismantled my other convertible, and have a coupe remaining. Thanks for the advice. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unfrozen1969 11 Report post Posted October 9, 2009 Well with Winter just around the corner, I have wrapped my car up and tucked her away in the garage. It has been a difficult year mustang wise, do I keep her, do I sell her, etc. I am glad the old ba is still in my life, and no I'm not talking about the wife. Time to start going through the boxes of parts that I have... Bill from Ottawa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unfrozen1969 11 Report post Posted November 27, 2009 Has anyone else noticed that the price of classic cars has dropped significantly. I guess the recession is hurting the hobby, unless you are in the market for one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flight96 14 Report post Posted November 27, 2009 Classic cars like these will always go up and down. But they are still a great investment. Ya have to remember that its not always about the $$$$. I did mine for the love of the car. But that said, just wait for a couple of years and see what the old classics are worth. These cars will never 'crash' like my RSP did !!...Well, unless ya drive like me !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unfrozen1969 11 Report post Posted November 28, 2009 I only wish that I had the spare cash to grab a few nice rides now while they are more affordable. I feel bad for the guy who has to let his ride go because of the rough economic times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unfrozen1969 11 Report post Posted November 28, 2009 I happened to watch the OLN Network (Outdoor Life Network) here in Canada and there was this show called Tow Biz. The were doing and expose on the OPP (Ontario Provincial Police) doing a summer blitz called Operation Checkpoint where they basically select cars off of the highway for random safety checks. On this one episode they had stopped a 1969 Mustang Convertible, Black in color. They were looking inside and out for problems with this car, but it was a beauty and there were no issues with the ride. The checkpoint appeared to be on the 400 series highway, so I am assuming the owner is from the Toronto region. I have looked online for a link for the show, but no luck. I do not know if the owner frequents this site, but if he does, you have a nice ride and feel free to post some pixs. Bill from Ottawa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

unfrozen1969 11 Report post Posted January 26, 2010 After much deliberation, I have been pricing replacement metal for my convertible. I have to factor in the shipping and have to focus on the doors first. I have a coupe still to part out, I will have to post some parts for sale this Summer, I ahve a 302 to pull out of her... Good news is that I got my convertible registered with the Ministry of transportation over the holidays, it was like an early Christmas gift, as I was hesitant in doing to much with out the car being legal...
