Thread: 1967 Mustang Coupe build

Tweet

Not much , these 7 day work weeks are kicking my butt . I did get some 180 by hand started and think I will move to the angled die grinder for the rest . My plans are still in focus of getting this done . Getting the fender and quarter extensions back on with everything cut in , this is the tedious stuff .

This will be coated in 3M undercoating then sprayed for color . Should out last what the factory did ?




Sneaking in tonight's tinkering work right here . 180 roloc on die grinder made work so much easier . Tomorrow the other fender .

Police seemed to frown on this practice... "exhibition of speed" they called it. Just no sense of humor!

Mike I slammed this one before I sold it at 3 grand in first , with the radials on it , it was barely moving just melting asphalt I had to let off for traction . Best fun I had in years and never did a video of it .

I agree Bobby.. to much fun with your clothes on! And, like you I never had a camera around or shot a video. But then I never wanted the evidence left laying around, my wife gets mean when I'm paying 400 dollar tickets! HAH!

Down here its called'sustained loss of traction'',and if the boys in blue see(smell)you,,its a impounded car for 28 days,@ about $12/day,and loss of license as well.. But,I found the delights of Mustang GT 390 fastbacks about 30 years ago,when bringing one back to the paintshop I worked at..Yup.sideways,smokin..yeehaa,,kool stuff..Actually didnt intend to do it,but with a damp road,it just sorta ''happened''.. Thats one Mustang I would love to own,,but dont want to sell my house to pay for it...

"Sustained Loss of Traction"! I love it!
Had I been under those rules.. my car would've spent a lot of time in the impound yard! the loss of license may or may not have slowed me down, depending on my mood that morning..

Had the day off was going to spend some great time there in the garage . My graphics shop called saying the 150 stuff was ready , so it had priority , I have waited a bit to fit weather and time in to play for installation

Nice work on the stang Bobby. I'm going up to motivate my buddy on my Mom's. I'd like it to be running by mother's day. We just ordered new interior for it and have the front end rebuild parts sitting here, so he better get busy! LOL

Ryan glad its working , its motivation on me also so post up some pics . I replaced the front end complete with a kit from Canadian Mustang . It's all urethane bushings and am really surprised they don't squeak .

Well finally got the buckets cleaned out and shot them with undercoating . Have to let it dry then I will re prime and work at cutting in the color . The quarter and fender extensions just need a good sanding and prime , that will be some short work .

deleted double post

Started on the fender extensions today , did as much as possible with the DA . Wish there was a nook and cranny tool to help cut down on the hand sanding . I guess sandblasting would have been better and faster .

I will get these done and the 1/4 extensions , get it all cut in . That will eliminate any excuses to blocking and putting on color .

Funny you should mention it Bobby, I just dragged home a small cabinet sandblaster! Like 30" wide and 20" deep. Not a tabletop model, I think they call'em verticle freestanding. Even came with 5 gallon pail of glass bead! I started to replace the window and ordered some new gloves too. I've wanted one for some time so I saw this on CL for 90 bucks! I couldn't get there fast enough! Oh, it even came with a Dayton vacuum to keep the dust out!

Even a blind squirrel gets the nut once in awhile!

Good find been watching them a bit myself . You cant go wrong with having one near by .

Mike that would be great once I have the other garage set up , I have room in there for one .
