Priceless!

[bull999999]

A neglected with screwed up brakes and wiring: $2500

A new intake manifold and carburetor: $400

A new gauge and pod set: $450

A SSBC front disc brake set: $1000

A set of new wheels and tires to clear the above kit: $550

Misc items (fluids, wheel cylinders, etc): $200

Driving your restored 65 Mustang to the local gas station and Sonic with your wife for milk shakes three months after the purchase of the car: PRICELESS!

I was too dark outside to take a good picture but I’ll try taking one tomorrow, although only shiny part on that Mustang are the wheels at this point. I’ll need to find a set of hood brackets for it and then it’s time for a paint job!

A big thanks to everyone that answered my stupid newbie questions in the past and the future!

Good for you!
It took me nearly 3 years but that 1st cruise night feeling was worth it.

You mean you're supposed to drive them? And here I've been thinking they were meant as garage art.

Good to hear that you got your on the road again. Be careful though, you might like driving it so much you'll forget about the paint job for awhile.

Cool. I did mine in 3 months working in an unheated garage in the middle of winter. Got it done on March 21st of 2002. Froze my ass off. Course, the job is really never done.

I haven't had paint for the six years I've owned my latest project. Saves a lot of work, that's for sure.

Mine was a slow process as I had to wait for the afternoon heat to do any bondoing or primering. I put a half price winter special Earl Shieb on for my daily driver.

Congrats. That's what it's all about.

mustang70: You have a good point. I'd better start the paint job before I use it as a daily driver!

Ozsum2: One thing I learned from working on cars during the winter is that smashing your knockles hurt more when they are cold...

Yeah, this is news to me as well. What the heck, these things actually move on their own?

I need mental help.

OMG don't I know it. I smashed the dog snot out of my whole hand when trying to drive the front eye bolt out of the springs with a 2# BFH.

What language are you people speaking? "Paint", "winter", and "cold" what the hell do those mean?

You're beyond any help that can be rendered.

I think we need some sort of translator for stuff like this.

GP, paint is the black stuff on your car. Red on mine and Blue on SD's. Winter, is when it gets cold enough to freeze the balls off of a brass Hungry Monkey. Cold................see above.

I thought the black stuff was primer? Does that count as paint?

If you think black primer is the equivelent of high gloss paint..........................You might be a redneck. Guilty as charged.
