Just Cool:
'69 Ford Mustang - Can't keep them all, even though it may seem like I try to! The Mustang went to a good home. Good luck Jeremy!

Sheet Metal Fabrication:
'69 Ford Mustang - Wrapped up the floor project in the Mustang. Next I will install some new brakes and the new interior panels I received with the car, and this thing will be ready to roll.

Sheet Metal Fabrication:
'69 Ford Mustang - This Mustang had what I thought was a small hole in the floor, but as I pulled up the carpet, it kept growing larger. Unfortunately, it went through the toe kick into the top of the torque boxes. I could have bought replacement panels for these locations, but wanted to practice my sheet metal shaping skills and didn't want to wait for shipping. The lines in the floor aren't perfect, but I put them in by myself with a hand crank operated bead roller and using a block of steel as a punch. I fabricated the top of the torque box with two layers of 18 ga. plug welded together.

'69 Ford Mustang - Received a nice Mustang coupe in work trade. Only problem was, it was parked in California! Why not take the new Fire Truck to pick it up? Spent my life savings in gas to get out there and back, but totally worth it. Picked up a dually bed in Reno along the way. Had to get all new tubes in the tires in Elko, and spent a whole day outside a machine shop in Pierre So Dak to try and get the obsolete alternator charging again. Small issues for an overall great trip! And now I have a Mustang to show for it. Thanks to Andrew, Flannery and Emily for putting us up, Rick, Ray, Becky and crew for helping us load up the Mustang, and last but not least thanks to Isa, my awesome co-pilot!
