My first project from '08 - '11
Hi! I didn't see this "other" projects until now! So, before '08 i was kind of busy with roadracing motorcycles, how exciting a time that was! Tinnitus kind of ruined that excitement, and I moved onto a project of restoration or I learned it to be called: Restomod.
I told my husband, Gary, that I wanted to get into restoring something, and I picked a '67 Mustang as they didn't look to be so involved(ha), but that's what I did! I got this '67 stang coupe that was in pretty bad condition (actually didn't look all that bad(I thought!!), not nearly as bad as some I'd seen, but I dove into it! Learning as I went along, spending and buying more and more tools, and with help from the gang on www.Stangfix.com~ I couldn't have done it without them, just like now~ I honestly don't think I could complete the '59 Apache without this site! I paid 1300 and the guy pulled it on a trailer to my home, and in the garage it stayed for about 3 years while I worked on it. I painted the car with a single stage paint from Eastwood, Hugger orange. The stang needed all floor pans and fixin in many places! I wont go into detail. But everything is new that's boltable! Oh my, look how clean the floor was! I hope this is a car that I'll never part with! I know so much about it and feel a part of it, like I'm bonded with it. right now it's sitting at my moms underneath a large carport covered with a car cover. My garage won't fit it and the Apache, especially while the apache is undergoing fixin! I love old cars and I wish to be back in those good old days when life was just a little more simple ; ) dne' Radiator support, battery apron, strut channels floor pans Stock new suspension Flaming river rack and tilt column Griffin radiator, dual electric fans Stock engine, 289(.030 over), mild cam with C4 tranny, Front disc brake, with power booster/new brake lines/fuel line Flaming river long tube headers I"m sure there's more! lol unfortunately got the Maxjax after I finished ! lol dne' |
