Working on the Mustang

afret · 12-27-2012, 09:03 PM

Old paint started peeling and had a few dents that needed fixing so we started working on the car. Body work sure isn't much fun. LOL

The car has been a race car since at least the mid 70's but it had been in the South so it still had a bit of rust here and there so that gave us more fun work to do:

Decided to add a halo and make it a cage:

Finally got to spray some primer:

Continued on the next post.

Here's Alex D and his new bride Beth right after they got married in Vegas earlier this year:

And here's Tony D after he just heard that they were serving In N Out burgers: LOL

We're getting there. Hope to have everything back together soon and get the motor done too.

Yeah, Dave is really tall. Super nice guy too.

My brother did the painting and body work at his place.

Good guess about my login.

Don't know if the car will be ready by then. Was going to just hone and put new rings but found a problem with the block.

Window net installed. Guess the bars can use some paint and the shop floor needs a good cleaning to keep from tracking all the sanding dust inside the car. LOL
