      Lay cardboard on the cement. Better than cold cement and if it gets dirty, just replace.

        I bought a cheap random orbital buffer at WM and decided to see what kind of life was left in the paint. Amazingly enough, there is still a fair bit of shine in there. Still have a long way to go, but it's nice to have a semi-shiny red car in the garage now!

            LOL! I started doing the drivers side front last night, got about 1/10th of it done and said fuck it. These suckers are worse than I thought. I"ll get them done, eventually.

              I'm digging it.

              The body and paint look pretty decent. It's a damn shame the fiberglass didn't fair so well.

              I love the hood the way it is!! It would complete a nice bare wall in the garage if you could find an extra hood to use.

              That decal kit and color combo is kickass. I'm into the retro factory look.





              By the way, I just installed the 340hp FRPP 306 Crate engine in my project. It's a good buy, plenty of go, there's audio clips in my thread if you're curious.

                Funny, but I already thought about using the hood as garage art. I've found several hoods, and 2 or 3 stock scoops, so it may happen. The fiberglass is actually very flexible urethane, so it really must have taken a beating over the years. It' probably fixable, but I've found a fiberglass repro front air dam already, now if I could just locate that damn right rear flare!

                  DO IIIIT!!!


                  Seriously, it's choice. I don't know art, but that is fine art.

                    Cooling system refurb complete

                    Replaced everything that has to do with the cooling system over the past week. Even had Al's tank and rod the stock radiator. The weather was nice when I got done, so I took the t-tops out and cruised around the neighborhood for a little while. Definitely not the stock 139 hp 302 in there anymore. Guessing a later model roller motor, find out for sure when the teardown begins. Here's little video of her first start up in nearly 3 years -

                    First start up after 3 years off the road, idling, revving, etc.

                      Thats gonna be a badass little Mustang when you get done with it. Fuck the haters. If it hadn't been for the Mustang II this website wouldn't even exist.

                            I assume he is saying that the majority of people who started this site were into fox mustangs, which wouldn't exist if the II hadn't been produced to carry on the name.

                              Alright bro. I'm getting my II up to True Street on Friday when I get back from Washington (adjust rockers, dyno tune, etc).

                              Since I'm up your way, I'll swing it by when TS is done with it.
