    Zelda, the 73 Convertible

    Where in the world have I been! Well, earlier this year I got Zelda back on the road, so I've been busy doing that! Got the classic air working, a necessity here in South Florida and we've been putting a few miles on her. There's always stuff to play with but she purrs like a kitten and gets...

    Zelda, the 73 Convertible

    2 Months later and it looks like there's going to be some progress! I'll be squirting the paint all over the outsides. Stay tuned for pictures and a time lapse video! DG

    Zelda, the 73 Convertible

    Thanks folks for the good words, A lot of time, effort and beer tokens go into doing this kind of work and it’s always good to have support from the community. I spent this weekend prepping the underside of the hood, the dash components, the underside of the rear deck lid, and the inner parts...

    Zelda, the 73 Convertible

    So, here we are, mid-April and there has been a lot of progress and I can actually start to see the light at the end. All welding is completed, engine is back in, all the plumbing is done (all new brake and fuel lines). Starting to cover everything in primer and get it all fitted back up...

    Zelda, the 73 Convertible

    Thanks guys for the comments and support, and willing acceptance of craziness. Since September it’s been cutting and fitting and welding and grinding. Rebuilding the rockers and sills, and cutting out the rust and rebuilding the B-posts since these aren’t yet reproduced. David in North...

    Zelda, the 73 Convertible

    Pretty much only working one weekend day, the occasional second progress is slow but steady. First steps were to find all the rust and start cutting it all out. Effected areas: Engine aprons, cowl, front fenders, rear quarters, trunk floor, trunk lid, doors, floor (rt frnt) door pillars, “b”...

    Zelda, the 73 Convertible

    First weekend in the warehouse was a good one! It’s amazing how much you can get done when tearing stuff down. (this was the weekend of Aug 4th 2014)

    Zelda, the 73 Convertible

    Right about 2 years ago a fellow here at the office advertised this 73 Mustang Convertible for sale. I was looking for a project (I usually look for little British cars) but this was a big four seater and looked to be a decent deal. We scheduled to meet up a gas station near his house to have...

    Howdy from a newbie

    Thanks all for the well wishes and support. I'll start a build thread in the build thread section and post up the picture to date. Rodney, I get over to the Naples area on occasion, and when the car's done will certainly drive it over that way, we'll have to connect sometime. DG

    Howdy from a newbie

    Light blue? As I got into the tearing the car down, it was originally gold (look closely at the windshield frame and the back seat rest panel), oddly though the MARTI search of the VIN number states it was light blue. A bit of a mismatch there. I've decided that since she's not going to be a...

    Howdy from a newbie

    Hi All, David here from South FL!. 2 years ago I got a 73 convertible with a 351C C6 and a bunch of rust. I've torn her down and have replaced pretty much everything but the hood. Won't be long and she'll be dressed in new paint. I look forward to chatting with you all and offering up any...
