My wife's old car

[I make oil]

When I bought this car I checked it fairly well. I knew it had some rust. I mean what nearly 50 year old car dosen't. However, I have to say I have been surprised at some of what is being found. The floor boards had been poorly patched with fiber glass. The rear tail light panel was a mess and full of bondo. The rear fenders where full of bondo etc. etc. etc.

All that said it would appear that the car itself is in good condition. I did have to order new front fenders, the rear tail light panel both rear qtr panels and both doors. But other than that is apperars to be solid. Corey is planning on sending off the car to have it blasted to get a better idea of the condtion of the cab and frame rails. When it comes back I hope there are no surprises and he will be able to start on the fun stuff. We had discussed converting the car to a fastback but I decided not to due to the cost.

I have to say that Corey has been a real pleasure to work with and I'd highly recommend him to anyone considering a project like this. He is keeping a very close eye on the cost and time involved and they are flying along. I know where I will bring all of my future work to.

It's coming along nicely. It's almost time to start going back together.

True story! Unless you're working on your own vehicle, it's not "good enough." It's right or, it's wrong!

The week coming should begin to see some big advances coming on the car! We discovered that it's been hit in the rear pretty good so, it's gonna hit the frame machine for a little while to pull it back around to square. After that, we'll be doing some bracing and, cutting quarters off and, doing the mini-tub for the rear section. The build is about to get exciting!

Also, there has been a change in direction for the motor. Let's just say...It's BIGGER!

Mini Tubs going in. This is going to be a BAD car! Joe told me the engine will put out over 450HP.

Here's a quick peek at what's been happening on the Stang. This is really the hardest part, and most time consuming of body work. I'd bet both quarters have been on and, off the car no less than 2 dozen times EACH! It's a LOT of measuring and, fitting up but, it'snow got both quarters welded on!

I can't believe Corey hasn't posted any updates in a while. Since he likes teasers so much I think I'll just leave this pic here....

I've been ridiculously busy with aggravating work but, here's a couple of pics for your viewing pleasure!

Here's some pics of the front suspension as it was and, as it's coming together. I hope to be hanging control arms tomorrow!
