Ole Yeller is ready for the road

[Telewanger]

I finally have "Ole Yeller" ready for the summer. (1994 Mustang GT) It has been a year and a half project. The man that I bought if from installed the new engine and transmission, then stopped working on it due to the economy. It was in a shed for over two years with well water in the engine and radiator. It messed everything up, but I saved it! Let me know what you think!

looks good, sounds good! congratulations!

Safety wire on the header bolts....I don't miss that stuff (I was an aircraft engine mechanic, everything is safety wired on an airplane. I don't think my fingerprints would match up due to the scars from getting stabbed by that stuff)

Surreal end to your video...its ready to go, yet goes back into the garage...

North Carolilna? I miss that state...

Thanks!

I was an aircraft mechanic also. I worked for Flight Systems Inc. in Myrtle Beach, SC. After Sept 11, 01 the company went down the tubes. I got my NC plumbing license, so that's what I do now. I don't miss all of the paperwork and red tape of working on planes. I don't have insurance on the car yet. I just wanted to make a video while the engine is nice and clean. I just got finished with it today.

Thanks!

I called several different insurance companies. I will try to get some insurance tomorrow. I Installed a new steering rack and tie rod ends, so I will need to take it straight to the alignment shop and then for a nice test drive.
