        Ill have to look for them I think I have the under car ones but not too sure. It was such a lengthy project sometimes I would just completely forget to take the pics.

            I know the feeling. I would get moving on assembly and completely forget to shoot some pictures. Looking back, I should've shot more of the coupe I restored. The pics go from shell to halfway assembled, and I'm thinking "damn, I missed a lot of steps in my photo documentation".

            You did it right, sir. Thanks for saving a poor old tired coupe, the right way.

              Damn, I'm glad somebody is saving them, but I would've left that one for dead. I like the deleted 1/4 and rocker trim, but I think it needs its 289 badges.

                  I don't think he saved it lol. He didn't spend any money.

                    Me too. The car has received some updates since it was picked up.

                      These cars are getting harder to find for decent money.

                        I have an 05 mustang with a few paint chips...do you think you can handle it?




                        J/k. Nice work! And way more work than I would have put into that car.

                            Exactly. A million in 2 years. To put that into perspective, under 70K were made in 2011. Like I said, I'm glad somebody did it, but it'd be a lot easier and cheaper to buy one that didn't need half of it's core sheet metal and a chunk of frame rail replaced.

                              Wat?

                              I've saved/restored a few cars in my time, and I didn't spend a dime. It takes talent, skill, patience, and hard work. The monetary cost is the easy part.

                                Man that is some nice work. Way to turn that stang around. Looks like a solid car now. I like what you did in the trunk. My trunk is not done. Did you use a bed liner type material?
