Well, the time has finally come to start work on my 1965 Mustang Fastback! I will be posting pics along the way for your viewing pleasure. Here's what I'm starting with.

 

you know, i was wondering where you have been the other day. and here you are! welcome back. and good luck with the build! cant wait to see progress. what are your plans?

 

I had been busy with work, school and other commitments. My plans are to go to a friend of my dad's shop with the car and him and I work on it. Our friend is a body guy, he used to own a shop in Memphis so he knows his stuff. Anyway, we are going to replace the rotted frame sections and floor pans, hopefully put new quarter skins on since they are frothy with cancer bubbles and do the five lug swap. I plan on painting the car either Calypso Coral w/ flat black LeMans stripes and a black on Calypso interior or Caspian Blue w/ White LeMans stripes and Blue and White interior.

 

Oh and BTW Racin, hows your fastback comin along?

 

heh, soon it will be back from getting frame rails.. then work wil begin

 

Good to hear! Hopefully I can have the frame fixed on mine in a week or so.

 

what all is needed?

 

As far as I can tell with it on the ground, font frame rails, rear frame rail sections, quarters, floor pans. Thats all I have found without tearin into it. Hopefully it isn't hidding any nasty surprises but it probably is.

 

ouch, that sucks

 

Yea, that's the North for ya, but you should know about this yourself! The salt killed the frame, but we have the technology to fix it!
