I am going to try to show a start to finish resto I’m doing for a real good friend.I will take new pics every week as I progress.The mustang is pretty rough and needs lots of sheetmetal surgery,really its not worth doing but he has sentimental attachment to it so it is what it is.He is going to put in a 347 stroker with aluminum heads,automatic tranny,9 inch ford rear,rack and pinion steering,shelby fiberglass hood and front valence.Its going to go some new ford blue like SZ blue flame or similar.Here are some pics 😉

This is for the guys who say to leave lead in the seams,look at all the rust starting.

I rebuilt the old hinges and lined up the new doors and trunk to the old quarter

Looks like fun. In one day you did as much as I have in 6 months on the GTO :blush:
Bah I’m sure I too will find some dogs along the way :rofl I think the older we get Ding the less ambition we have :stoned
Nice. Sure beats looking at bumper covers 😛 😛
Looks like an ambitious project. Look forward to the progress! 🙂
so i see u have been dealt the ol notch stang curse 2 jay :cens
looks like fun.
Wish I could say I have more progress as its been going kind of slow.As it stands now I have both inner and outer rockers installed and lined up with the doors so it won’t flop around like a chicken when I cut out the floor.Here are some pictures of where I’m at right now,be warned they are not for the faint of heart as this is pretty far gone.

Wow, your in pretty deep on that one Jay. Id rather you than me. lol
Looking good there Jay, keep the pics coming.
That’s insane. I can’t even imagine attempting to do something this extreme. Good luck. :pcorn:

Well I got all the tourqe boxes and inner rails cleaned up and coated them with por 15.I had to do some patching in the toe board/firewall before I could lay the floor in.I was able to lay the floor in the car but haven’t welded it in yet.This was by far the worst part,once this is out of the way it will be free sailing.Here are some pics to show progress.
