blood, sweat & tears...

just some pics of my last project..    66 mustang coupe 289 windsor c4 trans-

new camera..better pics!..budget gone..

I finally gave in to the wife's nagging and we got her a new camera...Canon 60d. she has waited a long time and has been very understanding with my endeavors..... wow what a piece of kit! the pics are amazing..
Starting to get the curve on the rear after hammering the dents and wobbles out. really hard to get the curve straight but looks okay. tonight just trying to get the lines to match so looks like alot of filler but most of it is coming off. this back end has been hit and repaired but is still a bit crunched not sure yet if i like it but the budget is tight with the new purchase [camera] and if i want a new back end its going to be months till i can get it so will keep working on this for now..

poor dog needed something to shoot last night..

hours and hours...

had to reshape the front left lip was flatten by the previous guy who worked on it ,didn't see it before till i was sanding so couldn't leave it, come out nice...

this corner was a mess, was hammered in and was out of shape.still trying to get the curve back..also took the waves out of the right back corner

started striping back the layers back here, hoping to drag it out tomorrow and grind the whole thing back. i want to hammer and dolly this area first and if it doesn't want to go back i will cut and replace the whole rear. fingers crossed i really don't want to go there girl friend..

just pics, started left side..

cut out and made a new peice for the front of the rocker panel, not as bad as the other side.outer rocker is in a good state and solid so have left it alone.

this time i stayed away from the wheel arches, good metal there so saved my self alot of headachs.

more work! this car has problems everywere i turn...



 black hmmm??

looking better..

just a quick update on some work nearlly completed, also put in new electronic ignition and coil but still wouldnt start up. i have good spark coming from plugs now so moving on to timing or webbers..i am not a mechanic so just trial and error.......any hints out there?
