    Black Beauty Rebuild

    Sorry, been busy and had a wedding to go to. Thanks for the response. This weekend I will take some more off and find that seam! Thanks for the photos you posted. I'm hoping for a factory seam to make it much easier! Hope my quarter looks like your finished one when I'm done! I'll post...

    Black Beauty Rebuild

    Ok, decided to do the quarters first! Gonna do full quarters. Found one seam easy. Went to the other side and nothing there! Tried a magnet and it's sticking hard (hoping for lead instead of steel). Should I keep grinding down? There has to be a seam right?? Maybe it was replaced already...

    Black Beauty Rebuild

    Thanks for the replies! Didn't know what that was. Here's what was underneath. Looks like the entire floor is done! Took a screwdriver thru the firewall by the brake pedal......not good! May be in over my head with the firewall. May have to take apart the whole drive train. Can I do all...

    Just pulled up the carpet to replace a rear floor pan and look what I found. Can't be good. Gonna have a beer and pull whatever those are up tomorrow......stay tuned. Someone did a serious cover up I'm thinking! They are glued down too.

    Sign from above!

    Saw the news about that sinkhole in the corvette museum. I'm not saying that fords are better than chevy's, but if the lord makes a big hole during the mustang 50th anniversary year and puts and puts a bunch of corvettes in it.............. I'm just saying!

    Gas Tank

    What's the best way to empty the gas tank. Does it need to be siphoned or can I just let it run empty. Getting ready to work on the trunk floor. Also how do you store the tank to prevent any contamination and not blow up the house once i get it off the car?

    What 5 songs could you absolutely not live without in your mustang? Thought it might be fun to see what everyone's must playlist while cruising is! Yes, I'm a child of the 70's.

    Introduction from Geogia!

    Welcome aboard from Charlotte! Great story. I went for a ride a few weeks ago, came home to an 8 yr. old standing in the driveway asking me where I went with our car and why I didn't take her!! Guess I know where that car ends up :)!
