Things are happening now, Ron saved some money and we bought a stack of parts.
http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j...psfe1bf85d.jpg http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j...pse5b52628.jpg I also grabbed these on my way home from work last night. http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j...ps46c74ed3.jpg Its amazing how every part is now reproduced on a 1966 model car, and so cheaply. Complete Plenum, upper and lower with all the correct pressings etc. http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j...pscfaeec55.jpg Rear chassis rails and floor beams. http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j...ps30522de9.jpg Boot floor and side extensions. http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j...ps9b088096.jpg Other unopened boxs have complete floor from firewall (including lower firewall) to fuel tank, also seat base raised and boxed sections, All engine bay panels (We were not going to replace shock towers, but will now, just to know its all new). Complete floor seal/rubber bung kit O(old floor was just flat tin sheet, so all these are missing). http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j...ps0a124897.jpg Wheels. http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j...ps9311aa34.jpg Ron has today off work, he is in the shed now unpicking the plenum. |
Some pics hot off the press.
This picture had a few swear words and a mention of a lot of spot welds. http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j...ps26f82614.jpg http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j...psd8b0fb39.jpg http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j...ps495554e5.jpg This has been added to next shopping list. http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j...ps4ca608e8.jpg |
couple of those boxes looked like they had been unloaded at Adelaide airport :-)

Nice work Boxy

Hard work!
About 15 years ago I purchased a 66 coupe for $800 , a total train wreck.
Went thru similar major rust repairs but decided to make it a convertible .... Purchased all the right bits including inner windscreen frame etc... Came up very nice... Went to a Mustang concourse meet and parked it in general parking... One of the scrutinisers came up to me and told me what stuffed up I created ... Asked him what gave it away and he said....not knowing it was a coupe. Everything was perfect except.... 66 didn't come out in Arcadian blue with white pony interior! That was a 65 option ....otherwise it was perfect! I just smiled and walked away. Good luck with it all. Soul. |

Can't wait to see the finished product. I too am a little bias towards Mustangs.

Very hot weekend out here, Ron did manage to get some stuff done.
Nothing but the best safety gear http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j...psc791ecf2.jpg Drivers side floor cut out, almost all trimmed and ready to weld in, needs to trim around the firewall and drill spot weld holes. http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j...psa805ed14.jpg http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j...psdd0b5fab.jpg http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j...ps399b54f4.jpg Ron is saving money now for more panels to order. http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j...psd92d0a48.jpg It has also been decided to replace the strut towers too. You can see two rough repairs on this side. http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j...psbe960d0a.jpg |
Is there going to be much of the original car left Dave?
|
Maybe not.
But better to get it all out now, than try fixing it again later. |
I like this thread Dave. I hope this 'Stang was cheap, cos you're building a whole new one there!
|
Great build Box! Really cool to see the work you're doing.

I'm a bit partial to the old Stangs! I've had a few myself and will probably get another after the Pace is finished! Looks like you have your work cut out for you on this one. My last one was as bad as that. I'll add a pic to keep you motivated. It now lives in Sydney!

Hey Boxey ............... whatever happened with this project ????
|
It is in the shed, Ron hasn't done a great deal more in a while (he got busy then did a rotator cuff in shoulder) I haven't touched it as I have plenty on the go myself with this RT40 Corona.
|
Have a look at Dynacorn !

Pics I took last week.

Looking good. My next project will be similar to yours but will end up a BP racer. This is my previous Mustang build.
