Take a look Johnny99!

In addition to the rest of Dan’s parts inspection, we’ve been doing a little painting of some of his parts, since we prefer large patches of metal to paint at any one time to minimize overall prep-time, along with other people’s parts, such as Dave’s or Cathy’s. There are also some photos in here of Dan’s floorpans, the ones that will be going in in place of his originals, which have heavy Alabama rust and should be replaced, since we’re aiming for a high-quality RestoMod.

Here’s a big inspection of all the parts we’ve taken off of Dan’s Fastback, and we’re doing a thorough photographing and labelling of everything before we put it away for storage while we finish up the last of the metalwork and do the blasting of the body. After we finish the body-work, we’ll go back through all the components we’ve taken off, and will either restore them or replace them or upgrade them. We know Dan wants to do a lot of comfort and performance upgrades, so we’ll be consulting him as we go. There’s another part to this inspection that’s coming soon–so keep an eye out!

We have picked Dan’s Restomod up from Randy’s shop in Alabama–it’s no big deal, Randy is still working hard and does a good job, but he’s been very busy and so the restoration has been going a little too slow. So, we’ve brought it to our own shop in Florida to baby it back into great health, as we’re sure Dan is anxious to get his Mustang back so he can hit the road in style.

Randy’s going at it with Dan’s Mustang! Here, Randy is cutting away all the metal that is too rusted or damaged and should be replaced. As you can see, the metal that he’s leaving is in good condition and we should be able to grind out or convert the rust that’s there.
