well well well looks like its' been a while since i came on here huh well you guys i havent gotten the car on the road yet been really busy but been trying to work on her a little heres the 411 , i posted a assload of new pics on my cardomain so chack em out at the link http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2560576or just look them up on there under 1970 ford mustang deadmanrob as the name. so far ive...
started her up and she sounded beautiful after i put the gas tank with the new sending unit in and reconnected it and thats when i found the huge fiasco with the battary well bout a week later i got a kensworth semi truck battary from my job and put it in it (talkin bout juice) went down and filled a 5 gallon gascan and tossed it up in the mustang . came back home filled her up leavin a lil in the can and tipped a lil in the carb and turned the key.............(drum rollin)............. after this many effing years cranked right up i was astonished but had to turn her back off cuz it was just WAAAAAAAAA like i was taken her down the strip.... what it was was the gas pedal stuck down so i lifted it and wd-40'd it and worked it till it wouldnt stick ... now i cranked it back up.........WAAAAAAAAAA...... ok what the fudge... the throttle cabel was stuck in.... ok a lil annoying so i just pulled it back out and wd-40'd it ( gods gift liquid wrench) . worked it and blam crunk her up again aid all you heard was a low roaring beautiful sound of blub blub blub blub sittin there . water was suckin beautifully circulatin and everything . so i came over and sat in the driver seat with the proudest grin and had to hear her talk to me so i gave her a little gas and reved her sexy *** a lil and she sounded like she was made for me . bout brought a tear to my eye . it was slingin all the debrea out of the crevises and everything like that so i turned her off . wellt hat was bout a week after my last post and only since then yesturday i started workin on her again finished the back and the passanger sides body work and ran out o grey primer so if you go look at the new pictures you will see i had a little fun with the black primer i think it looks cool for now ... ima need a new hood either way . the work on it is was ****work and it is slowly rotting so when i buy i new one ill probly get a nice fiberglass with built on hoodscoop or some **** . i havent decided yet . oh ha ha and 3 days before i started her up my friend came over with some black rostoleum and we painted my fan blade cuz the one my older brother got was red but over the time had faded to a pink fairy color . well i didnt mean to talk your eyes out but its been so long and i want to keep those who are interested updated as a few asked for. and a quick question who thinks this car would look slick as hell with lambo lift up doors .

lambo doors are for lanbos methinks
there was a post on here a while back with some pics. i think it was a 66.it was certainly different.
id rather spend the money on making it go, stop and handle better
wtf its your car.
good luck with the work

Looking at your 70 makes me want to start working on my 69. As soon as my 73 is running again I am going to pull my 69 in and get started. Keep up the good work and keep us posted.
