Default Update!!
Yeah, I know....it's been a while, but I've got a little bit done.

The new rockers that went on.....these should outlive the motor.




After a quick trip around the block....





And a couple of vids of startup and idle. Camera picks up ignition noise....but you get the idea.











And I finally got the Power Steering pump mounted, lines run, and system bled. It had Armstrong Steering from the factory...I'm too old for that shit. No wrestling this thing in traffic for this ol' mutt.

Dan that is one cool picture of the "stang outside. Wet sand that beast, and it will look great. You don't want it for a show, so it's worth the try.

Stay tune to my pictures, you will laugh when you see what I photographed the morning I left EP.

Default Body work has commenced!
Roof, trunk, rear quarters and tail panel primed. All other panels are getting replaced. Things are about to get real expensive....

Glad everything is coming together on the car Friz...... You probably won't even care that you don't have the Corvette anymore once you start cruising in that sweet Mustang.......WW

Yeah, Right....Here's what may happen.....
You could get "sellers denial" shortly,, then breaking down in tears screaming ( I can't believe I sold my Corvette), then you will go into a 2 week depression while drinking yourself into a daily stouper, then finally you emerge from the fog and race out to buy a C7...It could happen, the only question is ( When)???.......WW

Default In case anyone is still here and still gives a shit.....
Out of the paint shop. New hood, fenders, door shells, bumpers, valance panels, and all chrome and plastic trim either replaced or reburbed. It comes home this weekend....

It's come a long, long, long way....






Going to drive it for a bit, then start on the interior over the winter.....

Thanks guys.....I haven't seen one this color in ages. Should stick out in the sea of red and blue Mustangs.

And we're all old enough to know better than to trust a fart.....
