Sorry for the long delay! We’ve been very busy lately–lots and lots of emails, new Mustangs to list, restoration updates to blog about, you name it! Work, work, work, work’s never done, not that we’re complaining. The opportunities are great.

Here are some pictures of when Big Chief and the guys were installing Laurens’s engine and all the components in the engine compartment.

Well, Allen drove down to work on his Mustang again. Working with Pat, Ross, and Tim, they got a lot of the drive train disassembled for restoration work. What a nice Valentine’s Day reunion for Allen and his baby! Did Allen’s wife know??

Guy’s 68 coupe made it! Here’s a couple of videos showing the Mustang coming off the transport. There is also some footage of it running and a walk around quick look at the Mustang!

Here are a couple of old photos that didn’t merit a full blog post. They are shots from inside the cowl. No rust anymore!

Here the guys are seam sealing the floor pans and cowl area. This will seal the interior against water leaks and, ultimately, rust damage.

We’re working on reassembling Laurens’s Fastback here, putting in the rear windshield, installing stuff into the engine compartment, etc. The weld work on his rear quarter panel also needed a little more touching up before we consider it done, so Tim is working on that as well.
