Dig through the containers today to start finding all the pieces I stripped from the interior. Time to get serious and get the rest cleaned up, painted/dyed, and ready to go. Plus a sneak peek at the hydro-dipped carbon fiber dash. I didn’t dig out the mounting hardware so that’s I’m doing my...

That’s what a few folks are doing out here. Hydrodipping out of their garage. I think we only have one shop that does it as a full blown business. With that the business charges twice as much and a lot of business comes in to the side gigs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The hydro dipping of the interior is complete. Here are some during and after photos. Back a few posts are the before. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Always love people’s creative use of Great Stuff. The driver’s side appears better for wear. A new lower, rear quarter. Most likely an outer wheel well. Maybe... Will see when I really get in there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Now what to do back here. This rear quarter is off a donor car from a previous owner. They didn’t do a bad job but could have sealed it up better to prevent were it’s at today. I’m keeping in mind that this is going to be a daily driver. So more worried about the mechanics but still want it...

Getting these down to bare metal. Then straightening a few dings and bends. Driver’s side should go smooth. Nose of the pax side is a hot mess. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In between grinding got the grille nice and black again. Debated on many different techniques; heat gun, paint, etc., but then we saw this stuff. Figured we would give it a shot. So far very impressed but now we see there is still some primer overspray that needs removed now that it’s not...

This fender was off a donor car before we got the project. All in all though we are quite please with how the backside of the cowls is looking. The clean up under there started today. Then off to the shop for new rear wheel wells. Hopefully only new lower rear quarter panels. Sent from my...

This happened during the last week. This fender we may be able to save without much effort. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We got this little project underway. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We got here a few weeks later. We knew the pax fender and the hood had more plaster than body work. All in all it's out with the old and time to bring in some new come the spring time.

We started really getting in to breaking her down and getting ready to get all the body work complete. Was so happy that we have an original grille that isn't cracked, broken, or brittle. Just needs brightened up.

There is an open coffee and car show just about a mile down the road from us the first Saturday of every month. So we figured why not. We'll get up in the morning, see if she'll start, hang out, and get to know our local car community. We posted some signs in the car of what it is and "Please...

It was slowing going at first. We started digging through all the parts that were removed and packed away inside containers and the car during shipment. Our center console didn't seem to fair so well but we got it back together with the squint of one eye, sticking out our tongues, and letting...

Here we our with the car finally arriving at home. I was in training when it completed it's journey from Denver to The Springs. Luckily my wife, Sarah, is deeply involved with this project and took some time away from her work to be there when the car arrived. The boy, Franklin, if you know...

Here she is getting loaded up at the old K-Mart parking lot in Weirton, WV to begin her adventure to return to the family out in Colorado Springs.

I left off with removing the rear window on one of my 2 weeks home from the Middle East. This was in preperation of mainly cutting out the old package tray and swapping for this one that came from a donor car at Ohio Mustang Supply. Thanks to my friend Andrew Boilegh in Weirton, West Virginia...

So it's been quite some time since I've posted to our Mach 1 restoration. I made it back from Afghanistan in late April. Enjoyed spending time with the family until late June. Then we finally after trying a couple different carriers got our Mustang shipped out to Colorado. This was shortly...

We've moved. Well the family did last month. We're in Colorado Springs, Colorado now. The Mustang is still in Weirton, West Virginia. Will be having it shipped out in the upcoming months. Having a buddy do some body work. I'll be out of Afghanistan in less than 2 months!
