February 14- Disassembly
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??
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 15- Dave’s Dash Disassembly
We are taking apart Dave’s dash now, including the dash pads, instrument cluster, steering wheel and steering column.
January 13- Robin’s Inspection Pics
Now that we have Robin’s Mustang significantly disassembled, we could take a bunch of inspection photos to show Robin the condition of his Mustang, such as the condition of the body metal and the chrome, etc. The Mustang is, overall, solid, and most of the body metal and trim will probably be re-usable, though there is some surface rust and deeper rust that will need to be ground out–and may require some metalwork to fill in the holes afterward.
January 8- More of Robin’s Parts
January 7- Robin’s Disassembly, Parts
We’ve begun the disassembly of Robin’s Fastback, and have taken photos of the parts as we organize them and create the project sheet, which will let Robin know which parts are good, which need replacing or restoration, etc.
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.
