Well, today’s the day! Biff’s Shelby is ready to go up onto the rotisserie, and we’ll start sand-blasting it and getting rid of all the old paint and grime (though probably not much rust!) to get this baby down to the good stuff, the pure, solid steel.

We’ve cleaned up Biff’s front and rear windshields (The Dude did it but forgot to take pictures!) as well as the rubber seals around them, then put the seals back on and wrapped up the glass for storage until we get to Phase III, the re-assembly phase–which we admit, is a ways away. Check out the original factory Carlite stamps–this glass is perfect, we’re really excited about all the great stuff we’ve found.

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.





Quick update–we’ve started disassembling the engine to service/rebuild it as necessary! Also, we’ve taken off the door panels and you can see a close-up of their condition: they’re in excellent shape, we’ll probably be re-using them.

We’re updating you with some close-up shots of Biff’s Shelby to show the condition of the metal. There is a little surface rust here and there, but this baby is solid! We also wrapped the engine to keep it dry and avoid rust and have photographed more parts that we have taken off the Mustang and will be storing away until we begin restoring each part.

Alright, we’re pulling the engine and transmission on Biff’s Shelby, and wrapping up Phase I of the restoration process. We’ll be tagging and bagging a bunch of stuff in the coming days, and preparing Biff’s baby for sand-blasting, the beginning of Phase II.
