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 21- Laurens’ Interior Work
Tim installed the rear trim as we begin the re-assembly process bit-by-bit. We also did a little bit of grinding on the passenger’s kick panel where we found a little rust, and we also primed the dash panel over in gray prime, so that Laurens can pick his interior colors when his paint-man gets going.
December 3, 4, 5- Adnan’s Dash and Wiring Installation
We have begun re-installing Adnan’s dash after finishing his cowl work, and here are pictures of us working on the wiring, a process that is very detailed and requires care and attention.
November 9, 10- Tom’s Dash Installation
October 31- Tom’s Interior Restoration
Here we are working to restore the interior components of Tom’s Mustang, including his heater box, glove box, dash bezel and instrument pad. It is very detailed work, but we’re very detail-oriented, and we know we can do a great job!
October 27- Adnan’s Dash Paintjob
Adnan’s dash is being painted! Check out the slideshow below, you can see it in all three stages of painting–sanding, priming, painting. Let us know what you think, Adnan! We’re also disassembling and restoring his heater box–heater boxes are often damaged and worn out when the Mustangs roll into our base, so we’re used to this work.
October 26- Adnan’s Taillights and Dash
We’re still working on Adnan’s dash, but we’ve also started working on his lights. We’ve removed the taillights and will replace the leaking seals and install larger repair-type screws to prevent any more leaks.
October 22- Adnan’s Metalwork
We’ve started grinding Adnan’s floorpans to get out all the rust, so that we can convert and repair as needed. We’ve also started sanding the dash for a repaint so the dash will look better and the paintjob will have a higher quality. Here’s what it looks like so far–the floorpans have some damage from rust, so we’ve probably got some welding in our future!
October 16-17- Tom’s Restored Parts
We’re restoring and installing a lot of parts of Tom’s Mustang to match the new paintjob! Here, we have repainted the steering column, ash tray, grille, and some other parts, and it’s coming together nicely. We also have some new parts in, so check out Tom’s Restoration Page to see those.
