Default Clock Repair

I have a '67 with the clock in the middle hole of the dash. It doesn't work. Does anyone know of someone who fixes original clocks?

Havent seen you in quite a while nassaubayman.

Give Stu or Russel a call at Mustang Mania (Mustangmania.com). They might be able to point you to a local shop.

That's because I haven't been a classic Mustang owner since Hurricane Ike flooded my home and my coupe. Hagerty Insurance totalled my car. I could have bought it back, but I was busy gutting my home of its sheetrock, flooring, furniture, basically everything I owned that was less than 2 feet off the floor.

Someone loaned us their 29' RV trailer. We lived in the trailer in our driveway while our home was rebuilt. Our first meal back in our home was Christmas Dinner.

All that was left to do was take care of that empty spot in the garage... I did that yesterday.

Where in Houston are you? I live in Nassau Bay, near NASA

Its strange how things work out some times. I have a great contractor who's done things for me before. He's inexpensive (comparatively speaking) and gets things done in a timely manner. I was on the phone lining him up the Monday after the hurricane.

Seeing almost everything you own in a big trash pile in your front yard is tough. Camping in an RV trailer sucks too.

Once we got past that, we were able to focus on turning lemons into lemonade. Our contractor really came through for us. We're back in our home and the two houses behind me are still boarded up. And our house is completely remodeled.

Here's a before & after picture of our kitchen:

In case anyone is interested the Quartz movement clock from a mid-80's Mazda is a direct replacement with minor changes.

Glad to hear you were able to make lemonade. That must have sucked, but it sounds like you have a good attitude, and a good contractor makes all the difference.
