Backyard Recreation Restoration Project.....

Okay, here's our next one.......we have kind of ran out of room so this one is being done in the backyard. It's a car that we've had in mid restoration for a about a year and a half so I'll post some photos to get everyone up to speed where we're at at this point.
Backgound on the car: its the most solid 65 convertible that weve ever had and we've had alot. We decided to make it a custom and Shelby-ize to our liking. Here we go again.................

By the way, here is the link to my entire album on this car. Please take the time to view it, this car has an awesome undercarrige.

First two pics are how I left the car about a year ago......





The rest are from the present........

 

I have been working on the trunk compartment. It got some overspray on it so I re-primered it and then sprayed the Zolatone on it.

Also I started working on the door windows, this is some of the nicest glass that I've ever installed (more pics to follow):

 

This was actually last weeks project........sandblasting and repainting the convertible top assy. This is the only way to go!

 

This car will have the Palomino Pony interior w/ matching top. 68 ten-spokes, Gold GT-350 stipes, Shelby hood, side scoops, pretty much a cosmetic Shelby on the outside with the fancy Mustang interior. The engine will be a 302 with 4-speed. This one should be a real attention getter.

 

The latest developments..............
Installed the side scoops

 

A few more things finished................

 

It sure is, it's already scheduled to be one of our restoration projects.

 

The Latest..................

 

Here's the latest...........I started putting the front end on.

 

Just a few photos to give you the idea where we're at on this restoration. I will probably be putting on the gold stripes sometime in the next few days.

 

Hey guys, just to fill you in where we're at. I got the stripes on. What do you think?

 

I havent posted here in a while, here are some of the latest photos that I just found. The car in currently getting the convertible top installed. After that I can finish up the interior and then she's pretty much finished!

 

Finally got the special order Robbins convertible top (Buckskin) in and installed. I think it goes excellent with the interior and stripes.
