(thanks for indulging my non-cobra content post, but I thought you guys might like to see the progress, albeit slow...)

Have I gone and lost my mind?!?

Since my son Nick is well on his way to recovery, I've found time to get back on our restoration project. While everybody else in the country was enjoying the Mustang 40th Anniversary celebration in Nashville, I had more repair work done on the floorpans and firewall (toe boards) by Advantage Autoworks in Dallas. They did a great job, then Todd recommended that I go ahead and get the entire underside sandbasted and resealed for the complete restored look. After contemplating doing the whole thing with a grinder and wire brush vs. one afternoon at the sandblaster, I selected the latter. That was the RIGHT choice - it looks awesome! Next step, I found set of rotisserie stands that I could borrow indefinitely, brought them home and loaded them up -- WOW! I can spin the car completely around on its centerline, which really helped when it came time to empty out all that excess sand.

I'm now working on smoothing out the weld seams where the floorplans were replaced and applying a fresh coat of red oxide primer/sealer.

It even fits in the garage! (barely..)


...Maybe I'll have it ready for the Mustang 50th Anniversary celebration..
