What did you do today instead of working on your Mustang?

[Cleveland Crush]

This is a few things I have done with it. The fender is aluminum from a hailed out f150. I had the railroad track in the shop. I just did the Backhalf of a 90’s s10 pickup frame yesterday

Very nice. Any warpage on body sheet metal?

You can get warpage if you don’t have it set right and take your time. I have done the bottom side of hoods with great results. I did a bronco hood that was coyote swapped and the interior completely done but they left the outside patina alone and it didn’t warp or discolor the outside paint at all. The bronco was done for the creator of the tv show the black list who is from here

Been playing in the dirt the last couple weeks. Currently at nine triaxles of fill so far.












This is what I started with in May. Six dumpsters of brush and past-it's-prime firewood went away.

I ended up with 18 or 19 triaxle loads of fill for my garage this year.

The other side of my yard was 25 triaxle loads of fill, plus another 5 of topsoil. I have a big pile of topsoil that I stripped off so hopefully I won't need any. I think I'll be at 2 loads of 1 1/4 process for the base and 3 of 3/4 for the topcoat. Then it gets to sit over the winter and settle.

Cut concrete in my basement and dug out the 100+ year old dirt to add a bathroom in the basement. Having two daughters is driving this project.

Next up will be tying into the 100+ year old cast iron. Going to be blast trying to get the old lead and oakum joint apart.

Dragged this home last night and then spend $40 blasting off the years of nastiness. 1972 Country Sedan 400-2V, C6, tilt, air, dual facing rear seat, power locks. Very rust free, but like many southwestern cars, the interior is well worn. I jokingly told my daughter it'd be her first car, now she's all about it.

Pretty cool. Funny that when I was young, I wouldn’t be caught dead in a station wagon, but now I wouldn’t mind having one. A car show recently had a really nice falcon 2 dr wagon. Have fun with your new toy.

Back in the day those Ford wagon dual facing rear seats were "thee" place to sit as a pre teen in the late 1960's. Sitting way, way back there we could have all the fun while the adults were way up front !

That should be a really cool project! Hope you keep us posted on your progress with it. Here's one that popped up out my way. Would love to get something like this, but I've already got too many irons in the fire.

This past weekend I intended to go to the Mustang Steve “Bash” in Bakersfield CA. Things came up at work that squashed that, but I was able to make a cannonball run to the Chico Concurs show in my 67’ Toyota Stout on Saturday. A little over 300 miles round trip. My pickup is the “revival” white one. Lots of wild rides in Chico. Rain hampered the car show a bit but I was glad to be there.

I've got too many irons as well, but this was too hard to pass up. Now the 71 Squire has a friend.

@basstrix Those base '72 Torinos are really hard to find, seems everyone wanted the Gran Torino with the fishmouth grille. There's a 72 Q-code 4 speed Gran Torino Sport locally that's been wasting away in a side yard. Unfortunately, by the time it gets sold off the only thing that'll be any good is the drivetrain.
