what ive been up toO!
Well, i have spent most of my summer working on tearing down and getting the mustang ready for paint! been trying to find a good welder who can weld some pieces in were there was some bad rust (actually suprised my passenger side door didnt fall off due to how much rust there was).
The car is going to be resprayed forest green (original color) just without rust and scratches
afterwards a 4v cobra engine will be finding its way inbetween the frame rails!
a few of the rust areas we were able to cut out, and actually use body glue to replace the bad sheet metal and it didnt turn out to bad. Dad is showing me how to do body work since this is pretty much my first time. O and everything is being done in my garage
I was using a block sander, and an air sander to knock the paint down but we decided to ordered a sodablaster to take off all the paint and make sure everything is okey dokey under the surface!

Ya the 302 had many problems, lol. when i took it apart 1 piston was white as white could be (lean), and 2 were black as hell (rich), not to mention i had valve float above 5200. Just got fed up with the pushrod stuff for right now. BUT if the block doesnt sell ill probably end up building it for something
