Some decent progress!

[Dne']

Amazing how things start to come together quickly, eventhough there's still plenty to do! I took my husband around the block here in our neighborhood and it did ok~! First I told him to come look for me if I'm not back in 30 minutes, then he decided to go with me!  Doesn't run very well cold but ok when warmed up!  The exhaust sounds very nice, not loud by any means as I didn't want loud exhaust! I still have the stripes to paint over the bumpers, but that will be easy, actually looks kind of neat the way it is, but still have to put the stripes! I need to get under the car to do some things, therefore I'm ready to order that Maxjax for my garage! That will make my life much easier!

[AzPete]

Rides like that are always good. Looks sweet.

[garner67]

Doesn't seem that long ago and your car was sitting on jack stands in primer.  Congrats!

[lethal289]

movin right along.  I like the painted bumper.

[Kats66Pny]

You are going to turn some heads driving that around! And the mustang will get looks too!

Looks great - my first car was a 67 coupe and I've always liked them...

Do yourself a favor and get a real air cleaner - I ran that same unit on my 67 coupe back in '76. I wonder who came up with the idea of using flammable foam directly on top of a carburetor? One good backfire will ruin your day... like it did for me when I broke a valve spring and had an engine fire. If you have hood clearance problems, there are drop base cleaners that will give you about as much clearance as that unit.

Good luck,

Dang, last time I seen a progress pic on your car was when you were working on the roof right??? Looks great.

Looks great!!

[classicdoug]

Looks great!

Maybe I missed this in a topic earlier, but did you buy those hood hinges with the shocks or is that something you made?

Doug

[B67FSTB]

You did an amazing job !!  Its looking great !!

[janschutz]

Looks nice.  You do excellent work!

Is that a fiberglass front valance on it?

[Dne']

Sorry it took so long to respond to the wonderful feedback! nothing like thumbsup's from fellow stangfixers!! I babysat yesterday and my 3 y/o doesn't let me sit down at the computer for a second! She spent the night and just would not go to sleep and kept me up most of the night! I'm worn out! lol gee I love that kid!

First off~ thanks Kat! I'm going to have to go shopping to get a cute outfit to wear when I get driving this awesome looking mustang!! I was thinking about looking for something '60ish?

Yes Garner!! it wasn't long ago that it was on jackstands in primer! All of a sudden, I'm able to drive it after a lot of hard work! I think only my friends here can appreciate the hard work that goes on it putting something like this together! After going to the recent Autorama here in Houston I  feel inadequate as a restorer/restomodder! OMG, the meticulousness of those cars!!!

And Bill(67fastback), yes, it wasn't that long ago I was tackling that rusty roof AGAIN for the second time! OMG! If the roof can just hold out for a few years! Darn that was a lot of work!

Rory, I do plan to get another air cleaner very soon!  I was actually looking at a cold air induction system, but I've got so much stuff under my hood, I wouldn't know where to induct from! I actually don't like the air cleaner I have(if it's even classified as an air cleaner!), it doesn't muffle the noise coming into the carb at all!

Classic Doug~ the hood hinges are just repops from Laurel mountain mustang, then I purchased the hydraulic hood lift system from 'somewhere'. I'm somewhat pleased with this system!

oh and John(janschutz), yes, my front valance is a fiberglass valance from Laurel mountain, it fit very well and I'm very pleased with it!!

Gary will be out of town for a couple days starting tomorrow, so I can probably get a little more done while he's gone! The weather should be ok, so I can put the stripes on the bumpers! Piece of cake! I do need to get to the dept of transportation soon and get the tags! but insurance first! I have some license plates from a '67 year that look pretty good, but my daughter was suggesting that I get a personalized license plate, but I'm not very creative coming up with a neat thing to put on it! So these plates will have to do! I'll be back!!

I think everyone here would agree that you should go with a short little dress and go-go boots 

or

oh yeah!! 


As for the license plate.. Have it say "NOT HIS". 

[Dne']

Gee Kat!! I have to allow all the bruises to go way after getting banged up from working on my stang, not to mentions the scratches too! That is one cute outfit, the one on the left for sure! Not to mention the girl wearing it does justice to the dress! Darn what a cute figure! This is kind of along the lines of Austin Powers era!

[70_Fastback]

Looks awesome!  Great job.  And I agree with the others, you have been FLYING on that thing!

[manley]

Love the colors!

[Grabber70Mach]

Looks great, congrats with the progress.

[apollard]

Very nice Dne' - and much faster than I'm progressing. I can't send the 3 y/o home!

[DAVER]

Well done!  The color is cool and the Cragars with spinners are a nice touch. 
Your cruising wardrobe simply needs to be color coordinated now
I recommend pirate garb and you guys can cruise with me.

[Dne']

DAVER, that is too cute! Argh matey (Capt.Jack Sparrow?)!!    Actually I found something in my closet similar to the girl a back a few posts, but she's got a teenager body with a waistline what I had when I was 18!! waaaah!! let me see her pull a head off of a motor! huh huh huh! lol

Anyway, it's really difficult to capture the front stripes with a camera~! When the sun comes back out I'll get some better shots!

[ZFORCE]

Wow, does that car stand out.  Nice job, Dne.  Last post I remember reading, you ran into some problems with the roof, and now it's all painted!  Boots are in!
