Yes it was raced for a number of years in Texas and AZ by the same deputy. I posted some photos in the WELCOME forum under "Re-introduction". It is going to be a lot of work but it's all fun. Here are a couple more photos. http://cactusprecinct.com/photos/Texas/mustang1.jpg Here it is in the second color for Bastrop County Texas. http://cactusprecinct.com/photos/Texas/85psrq.jpg And how it looked marked for Maricopa S.O when I drove it off the trailer. |
Belly UP
I think I've gone "belly up" on this restoration.

if you use a rotisserie just one time......you will ask yourself how you ever restored a car without one. Same with a lift, and a dedicated paint booth....and a blasting cabinet big enough for a fender.......and a high pressure parts washing cabinet......lol
That is some serious metal work you are doing for sure. I am very glad to see it getting saved. |
Jim is right - every project is an excuse to buy a new tool! :p
Nice job on the resto. Thanks for keeping us updated... |
Keep us posted on progress! Looking great!
|
Awesome to see another one of these being brought back!
|
cutting those rear fender wells is an abomination !!! thank God for people that know how to weld and shape metal. :2thumbs:
