Jason's Mustang Restoration Project - Leaving For 2nd Phase


This is a set of photos showing the first time I ever towed the car by myself. The trailer was borrowed, but the pickup truck is mine!


These pictures give new meaning to the term "Trailer Queen"

Check out this awesome trailer that my friend Greg let me use! I didnt know
it was a flatbed until he brought it over. It even has its own brakes!

I figued it would just be a 2 wheel dolly...

Well, the stang is now off to my dad's place of employment where they will pull
the engine and the transmisison out.

They will send the motor to one guy, and the transmission to another for rebuilding.

The 6th photo shows the car waiting outside of Petterson's, where my dad works.
It is funny to see it out amongst other cars for a change...

Then, Larry from the Body / Mustang shop (SLS) will pick up the car there and
bring it to the media blaster to clean the white paint, rust, and dirt off of
the engine bay.

Once it is blasted, it will go back to SLS to replace the battery tray with
the correct 65 version, have a new windshield installed, fix the brakes,
replace the fuel tank and fuel line, and paint the engine bay black again.

When SLS is done with it, it will go back to my dad's place to have the engine
and transmisison re-installed, and hopefully a new exhaust system.

I also took a couple of pictures of the interior while I had some good sunlight.
Those shots really show the quality of the floor repairs and the new dash stuff
nicely.

Once this is all done, maybe, just maybe, I will be able to drive it home under
its own power for the first time!

I will cross my fingers...
