st Mustang" at a car show back in the day. But as you can see, time has not been kind to my first car.My dad and I actually took two cars (a 1965 and a 1966) and built this one. It was a long process of cleaning, painting and all sorts of work. There was one point where every piece of the car that could be removed had been (except for the dimmer switch, and I am not really sure why I never did remove it). We did all of the work ourselves and it turned out really nice. We built a lot of cars over the years, but this one was by far my favorite.
Anyway, I have some big plans for her. I am not too worried about putting everything back to stock-showroom-floor condition so that should make things go much smoother. There is PLENTY of work to be done without being bothered if I have the correct hanger for the muffler. Although, when we built this car we did go back to showroom condition.
Hopefully, I will have some updates soon, but we all know how I am with updates.
Oh, I almost forgot: Tech won! Now bring on the Aggies.

Oooohhh, a car restoration project. Sounds fun.
Though, I'm not sure what I think of the whitewalls. Maybe if the whitewall was fatter? I dunno.
Keep us posted.
Well, back when those tires were new and I had the hubcaps on, the whitewall looked nice (IMO). But these days, it is a pretty messed up.
I am hoping to go with some nice rims, in place of the old steel and rust ones. We shall see. First, I have to get her back in running condition though (and that is going to take some serious work).
Oh, memories - I remember cruisn' with my best friend in her '65 fire engine red mustang in high school - fun times!!!! Loved that car!!!! I had a Oldsmobile Starfire - now that was a fine car too!!!!
