It's alive!!!

[FrankenStang]

I'm new to the forum and wanted to introduce myself before I start asking questions. I'm in the Nashville area and have a 1972 Mustang Grande, rescued from a slow rusting death, which I named "FrankenStang" because I brought it back to life. Yes, I am that big of a geek, but most weekends my fingernails are usually black and I often smell like oil, grease, gasoline or some harsh chemical chemical in the garage probably just like everyone else here. This seems like a more laid back forum; glad to have found it.

Welcome from West Texas! ::thumb::

Hey - MY car's name is Frankenstang (no capital letters on the 'stang' part, though). It was The Rustang for the longest, but my wife said we couldn't call it that anymore since I got rid of the rust, and I have parts from '69, '70, '71, '72, '73, '89, and '96, along with the new stuff.

But, it's not like I own the rights to the name or anything, so there's room for another FrankenStang.

In the fine tradition of the site, I may as well be the first to say:

Hello from Mississippi. So, your fingernails are black and you smell like old burnt oil, grease and 90 weight gear oil mixed together. You'll fit right in here! Glad you found us and decided to make this your new Mustang home. There is so much knowledge here and people willing to share it, you'll think you've found a direct access to Ford engineers. Welcome aboard!!

Hello & Welcome from Michigan.

Thanks for the welcome. Funny thing is that I've been working on this car for two years. I joined another forum and was really excited but everyone there was so uptight... you'd think I called their mother names because I dared to build a "restomod". I dropped off the site after a short while because I got tired of hearing "You should take it back to original." Honestly, the car was dead and was a rusted, rotting piece of crap. Now, it's a rolling piece of crap, but it's mine! I've loved every minute of it, even the frustrating ones. That last pic is of the custom rat-rod inspired headliner. I completely gutted the interior and redid it all, but wanted the inside the have some personality.

Wow! I didn't even notice the dome light in that picture. I really thought it was just posters and stuff on your wall.

That is so creative!

Hello from Belgium and :welcome2:

It's your Mustang and do what you like do with it.

Some changes provide for better or worse things to your Mustang.

I love as original as possible but this is not always possible, but I definitely respect others their ideas.
