Hi from the UK - 1962 LW
Hi
Have Googled into this site plenty of times whilst looking for info, so thought I'd join up! I bought my 62 (through a contact in the UK Classic Mustang forum) from a guy in Riverside. Original Cali truck which I had intended just to have freshened up mechanically then sent over. Well, things got a bit more radical and we decided to drop it on a 77 frame to give the benefit of coil springs, power disc brakes, power, etc, etc. Things got a little problematic though and the guy went very quiet (and very nearly went bust), but one day I got a call to say the truck had been collected and was being shipped. Once it was 'home' I checked it over and whilst it was ok, plenty of stuff I'd hoped/paid for to be done wasn't, so took a few months before it was able to be registered and used. Still, it's now on the road and being used whilst the last of the jobs get sorted out. Here's a few pics - hope you enjoy. Cheers As bought ![]() ![]() The donor ![]() ![]() Mocking up ![]() ![]() Now in UK ![]() Lokar installed ![]() Headers in ![]() Wiring getting sorted ![]() New basic exhaust system ![]() Moon gauges ![]() Mexicans ![]() As she is today ![]() Looking forward to making more use of this site and getting to know some of you guys - let the banter commence !! |

Welcome from the Republic of Texas, looks like you got a cool truck there, sorry the person who was "supposed to" do the work failed you though. Enjoy!
