Re: my therapy
Hung the fenders on the mustang for a trial fit.Going to need a bit of jacking around to line them up.Waiting for a friend who's been there before.
Also installed the the pass. side mouldings.Couldn't find the small qtr. panel end spears.After a session of speaking in tongues I finally found them.Had to move cars out of driveway to push the wagon out and turn it around in the street, then put cars back in order. My back is still feeling the effects.Ran some wires to the general area they'll be connected at eventually.Pictures to follow. Am I the only dope who waits till he's 68 years old to take on two projects like this???????

Ed, I'm only 59 and thought I was the dope for taking on too many things at once. Hope I'm still doing this stuff at 68? Pain just means you're still alive. BTW, first car I got to drive was a 65 Mustang. 200 six with an automatic. Was a good car to pick up girls. Dad supposedly sold it to someone in Illinois that was going to restore it. It was yellow, black vinyl top with black interior. Who knows, probably got gutted and stripped for parts for other restorations. Love the old Mustangs, wish I had a couple of mine back.

Re: my therapy
I bought a 66 notch with no drivetrain, being a dumb kid with a 351C/fmx I thought I'd jam it in. Didn't fit so I took a torch and sledgehammer and beat the inner shock towers flat. Made angle iron mounts and voila! Went 50ft up the road and the steering made a hard right?? The upper arm twisted right around so pulled engine back out, straightened the arm by eye and welded 1/8" plate steel over the smashed in ribs in the shock towers.
Headers from a 71 mustang fit with a little tweaking. Ugly,loud but damn it was fast! LOL! |

Re: my therapy
Went that route many years ago, a 1957 GM bus are a wonderful mechanical wonder of wiring and fittings that never end. Great pastime and good luck.Claude

Re: my therapy
Boy I hear that. Mine is a 1960 which was the last year for the 4104. I wish I could have gotten it before it was converted. It was professionally converted in 1975 and the wiring really got butchered. Lots of remodel.

Re: my therapy
Harry,I know I'm not alone but it's difficult getting help to stop by and give a hand and advise.
