I brought my new car home last night. She is a 1970 Fastback, pretty much just a shell, and needs lots of work. Rust all over. I'm feeling overwhelmed & maybe this will be more work than I can do.
Got any links to old RUSTY mustangs that have been restored & now look nice. Maybe that will give me some inspiration.

 

I dont have any links to pics or anything but good luck with the project.
As least you've got a working 66 to enjoy as you go, right?
Thats more than a lot of guys have!!!

 

you're wasting your time. it can't be done.

 

Not my car. This one belongs to John721. Hope it helps.

"you're wasting your time. it can't be done."

That's how I felt last night!!

I guess I just need to finish stripping it, get it media blasted & start replacing metal.
I'll post a picture or two tomorrow.

 

Need encouragement? I have two words for you:

"Barrett-Jackson"

I saw a 69 or 70Fastback go for big bucks yesterday....

 

Mine was pretty rusty. You can see from my link.

 

THAT is amazing. Is that what a car looks like after its pulled out of a swamp?
I would like to know how much time and money is wrapped up in that car.
What a beautiful fastback! Talk about pride....
..........Pride I will never know.

 

Amen to that,,,, even if I think I might have that kind ofability, I know I don't have the patience...
