2010_07_02 MachLene: Metal Front and Rear

Big Chief — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 14:11:17 +0000

Installing front hood hinge aprons. Found large hole in firewall right behind where apron attached. This will need metal repair and very simple, but requires very good welding skills. Repair coming soon. This is when torque box damage was discovered. Also note: previous restoration work– they left previous debris and old parts in trunk wells?– never with Big Chief would this past! Gas tank throat will need minor repair, but nothing major.

Electrical Shorts?

Minor Rust on Floor?

What up?

We sold this beautiful 1969 Mach 1 Clone to some very super nice folks.

MachLene and CobraJax

But it needed some minor repairs to be as they would like. Dave was very nice to help pay for the repairs, so MustangOnlyOne jumped right on them (repairs only)! We schedule our repairs and work them in, between our restorations! So please you guys with restorations or upgrades please be patient. I will not let repairs slow our progress on your projects.

Thanks everyone for your patience with these quick repairs!

Interior Rust?

More updates coming soon.

January 20- Laurens’s Windshield Installation

Big Chief — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 22:57:41 +0000

Need to catch up on these blog updates! Here is an old one from when we were re-installing Laurens’s windshields. It’s a very meticulous process, getting the rubber seals set just right and glued down, and then we’ll have to test them for leaking, and THEN, if no water gets in, the windshields are good! Phew. Fortunately, every windshield we install goes in smoother than the one before it.

December 15- Laurens’ Glasswork and Water Test

Big Chief — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 17:34:39 +0000

Lot of stuff going on here! We checked out the trunk compartment after we did a lot of grinding to get rid of the surface rust, Big Chief did another water test on the cowl to make sure the seam seal is doing its job, and Savannah cleaned and wrapped the windshields until we get to the re-assembly stage.

December 11- Biff’s Glass and Parts Cleaning

Big Chief — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 18:26:08 +0000

Here’s Savannah cleaning some of Biff’s parts so they can be tagged and bagged and put away while the body is sandblasted, as well as Pat and Tim removing the windshields and wrapping them up for storage. Also some more tagged and bagged parts.

November 14- Tom’s Interior and Windshield

Big Chief — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:01:16 +0000

In addition to working on Tom’s interior, Big Chief with some help began installing his windshields. It’s a delicate task, because we have to get everything clamped in just right and also make it leak-proof.

August 3-5 Parts and Work

Here is one of the latest orders from Summit Racing. Check out those headers! There is a little surface rust on the inside of the header tube. It came from Summit that way and should be no problem. That will burn off when the headers are in use.

We got the rear windshield firmly installed. Now, we have to wait 5 days before we test for leaks. Then, we can put the trim on! They also primed and painted the engine and motor mounts. It’s gonna look awesome when its all done! and wait ’til you hear it running! We are set to reassemble and put the motor back in the engine compartment. Finally, there are some photos of the dash work. They are putting in the steering column, heater box, and other dash components for shipment.
