January 15- Dave’s Dash Disassembly
We are taking apart Dave’s dash now, including the dash pads, instrument cluster, steering wheel and steering column.
January 13- Robin’s Inspection Pics
Now that we have Robin’s Mustang significantly disassembled, we could take a bunch of inspection photos to show Robin the condition of his Mustang, such as the condition of the body metal and the chrome, etc. The Mustang is, overall, solid, and most of the body metal and trim will probably be re-usable, though there is some surface rust and deeper rust that will need to be ground out–and may require some metalwork to fill in the holes afterward.
We’re grinding the rust off of the doors and front fenders. As you can see, some holes are appearing where the metal was rusted all the way through, so we’ll need to do some repairs there, though we think that, on the whole, the body parts are usable. We’ve also welded the right rear quarter panel on, so now there just needs to be some smoothing out done there.
January 8- More of Robin’s Parts
January 7- Robin’s Disassembly, Parts
We’ve begun the disassembly of Robin’s Fastback, and have taken photos of the parts as we organize them and create the project sheet, which will let Robin know which parts are good, which need replacing or restoration, etc.
January 9- Laurens’s Fenders and Rear Quarter
We’re continuing to clean up the front fenders, and Tim has etch primed and started welding the repair panel on. When he is finished we will smooth everything out and gray prime everything over.
January 7- Laurens’s Fender Work
We’ve begun the metalwork on Laurens’s front fenders before we re-install them. So far, they appear to be in very good condition–a bit of old junk and stuff stuck on them, but we’re getting it all off and will do any filling that needs to be done and then will prime them in gray.
January 4, 5- Laurens’s Reassembly
As you can see, we’ve started re-installing the chrome trim on Laurens’s Fastback and have begun preparing to install the glass again. The interior is also coming together nicely, and we’ve installed the cover plates over the shock towers. We’ve also installed the door hinges–and the doors themselves will soon follow.
December 30- Rich’s Mustang Shipment
Here’s the crew loading up Rich’s Mustangs onto the truck transport, which will carry them out to the overseas cargo transport company. We’ve included photos to show where the Titles and all other important paperwork can be found in each Mustang, as well as identification on the vehicle doing the transporting.
