Recommended Posts

Thanks everyone! Yeah I waiting to do a/c and interior before I put the doors on if I can stand it that long haha and yeah the the golf cart is my grandparents transportation around the yard. Hopefully we will start putting body panels on tonight, planning on starting at the back and working towards the front of the car.

Interesting! Ford Restoration Parts, partnered with Ford but not part of the company, has relationships with enough suppliers to deliver nearly all necessary parts to restore a 1964, 1965 or 1966 Mustang. Manufacturers the company works with produce parts under license to original specifications. The company put out a press release covering the subject before Father’s Day, according to AutoGuide, and also emphasized the 50th anniversary of the Mustang next year.

Thought I would add some photos of my progress over the past months. Has been going slow but i'll get there one day. Vintage air is almost complete, new headliner has been installed, doors have been put on, and i'm sure there are a few other things I am forgetting since last time.

Thanks guys. The car has been a long ways. I sure was hoping I would be taking it down to cruising the coast this year. We're leaving Wednesday so I don't think the 69 is going to make it. Taking a couple of other cars though, we always have a good time down there between the car shows (boring), casinos, old guys street racing, and of course the burnouts where the kid in the crowd standing on the side of the road dumps a bucket of ocean water on the road for you and tells you to burn them down! Priceless haha

The first picture was taken back in the 90's sometime when we were replacing the quarter. The rest were taken last week, I have made more progress since then but I haven't taken any pictures. I have tweeked the alignment of the fenders and doors since these were taken. I had the windshield and back glass done last week and in the same day the 2.5 inch exhaust with the spintech 3000 series mufflers at a local muffler shop. I think he did a pretty good job. This is the first time the car was put on a lift and I found a few places that need touching up on the underside. These are iphone pictures so there not that great. I am going to try to take some with a good camera soon.

You should be very proud of yourself, NICE JOB!

 

Your car seems a little higher in the rear, and it doesn't look like you have airshocks. Did you get new springs? Don't get me wrong, I like how it sits, I'm just wondering whats keeping the 1/4 panel off the wheel..

Thanks! They are new rear springs from mustangs unlimited. They were bought about 5 years ago and I have no idea any of the specifics. I'm pretty sure they are supposed to be factory replacements. They have settled some since I have been driving the car a little bit. I like them to sit level or just a little higher in the back and I think these are just right.
