Front end back together and painted







Last view before the paintshop


Back from paint... Still needs a final clearcoat, cut and polish

Rear 1/4 came out well



sorry for the last couple images being blurry...

You guys can see the bodywork that went into it... The car was sodablasted inside and out, new pans, POR15 inside and out... all new interior, fresh motor, new clutch, rebuilt carb, new gastank, new fuel lines, brakes lines, brakes.. Full rebuilt front suspension. Its going to be a full rotisserie restored mach.

69 Mach1
351W

Yup, It's hard to find time for classic Mustangs these days while building a 56 F100. I'll be more active when I get rid of this old truck and get the wiring sorted out on the fastback.
