December 30- Adnan’s Final Documents
Sorry for the late post! We just wanted to show the documents we shipped with Adnan’s Mustang, such as the Bill of Sale and Title. Adnan was a great client and we’re glad to have met and served him. Hopefully we can provide for any of Adnan’s future Mustang needs.
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.
January 18- Dave’s Under-Dash Disassembly
Despite having to devote a lot of our time and resources to finishing up our work with Laurens, we are still making steady headway on Dave’s convertible. The dash and under-dash are almost completely disassembled–we’ve gotten both pedals, the windshield wiper motor and all the wiring pulled out now, so that’s a major part of the disassembly process that’s now done! Hallelujah!
January 15- Dave’s Dash Disassembly
We are taking apart Dave’s dash now, including the dash pads, instrument cluster, steering wheel and steering column.
December 30- Rich’s Mustang Shipment
Here’s the crew loading up Rich’s Mustangs onto the truck transport, which will carry them out to the overseas cargo transport company. We’ve included photos to show where the Titles and all other important paperwork can be found in each Mustang, as well as identification on the vehicle doing the transporting.
December 24- Dave’s Rust Conversion
We’ve begun rust converting all the rust that we can find in Dave’s floorpans and cowls. The rust isn’t deep and there’s not a lot of damage, so these should just convert and then we’ll paint them over and be done with it. Good Mustang, Dave!
December 23- Cathy’s Tranny Pull and Disassembly
December 22- Dave’s Floorpans
A couple of things are going on here. One, you can see that the floorpans are very solid, rust-free, they’ll be great and won’t need metalwork. Two, the previous owners installed some kind of insulation with an adhesive spray, so now strings of the old insulation are all over the floorpans (that’s the white-yellow stuff). So what we’re going to do is sand away what’s left of the adhesive and insulation, because this kind of insulation is like a sponge, it just soaks up water and holds it to the metal so it starts to rust often, and eventually replace it with an asphalt-based water-resistant insulation pads, which will stay dry and work a lot better to avoid rust. Under these pads, we’ll convert any surface rust we find and hit all the floorpans with undercoat spray, which is a really thick and hard black paint-like spray that will further help to prevent rust.
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- Dave’s Front Floorpan
Here’s a few pics of Dave’s front floorpan, on the passenger side. Something hit it and punch a small hole in it, as you can see, which we hammered down for the time being, but will need metalwork. We’ll probably be replacing the toe pan itself entirely. We’ve got Pat working on Dave’s Mustang, so more pictures are coming!
