January 19- Cathy’s Close-Up on Disassembly
The trim and interior are coming out, and so we’re getting a good look at what’s going on underneath: the rubber seals for the glass are pretty much shot, so they’re going to need replacing, though fortunately that’s not an expensive purchase. There is some rust up higher on the Mustang, such as on the windshield frames or under the dash, but it’s not too bad, and won’t need a lot of metalwork to fix.
December 23- Cathy’s Tranny Pull and Disassembly
December 22- Cathy’s Disassembly, Engine Pull
There’s a lot going on here! We’ve removed the front valance and both fenders on Cathy’s Mustang, and are showing the condition of the metal as much as we can. We also drained and removed the radiator and have just pulled the engine.
December 21- Cathy’s Disassembly
We’re really getting down on disassembling Cathy’s Mustang, and though we’re making headway, we are finding a lot of rust and metal damage. This one’s going to be in the metalwork phase for quite a while–we’ll be doing a lot of full-on welding to replace sheets of metal (just lead filling won’t cut it on this one). As you can see, we’re wrapping up the parts we pull off and have done quite a bit already.

December 3- Tom’s Old Upholstery
Here we are wrapping up and storing Tom’s old upholstery. We’ll be getting with him to see whether he wants to keep or sell it…
November 20- Tom’s Alarm System
November 19- Tom’s Door Lights and Power Locks
Here are some pictures of the power lock mechanisms installed in the doors and in the trunk, so that we’ll be able to lock and unlock the doors or the trunk with the press of a button.
November 17, 18- Tom’s Interior Installation
We’re working on installing the interior still, and here’s Pat installing the power lock and alarm system, which Tom asked for for his wife. Here he is installing the courtesy door lights and the power lock motor. It’s a lot of work, but we’re happy to do it. He is also having to drill some new holes for the new wiring and stuff…
November 14- Tom’s Interior and Windshield
In addition to working on Tom’s interior, Big Chief with some help began installing his windshields. It’s a delicate task, because we have to get everything clamped in just right and also make it leak-proof.
