My son bought his 1st car this weekend!

[csouther]

That is what I want to do with my son... in 14 years.

I really have enjoined watching the progress. One lucky and talented young man! And all those memories building such one FINE car with good old Dad, Priceless!

That's one day before my 22nd! Wish I had that cool of an 18th birthday gift. I'm jealous. Here's to the best 18th someone can have!

We installed the rear bumper guards and polished the hood this week.

Polished and ready to install











We have been looking forward to put the Bullitt tags on and they look cool!
Thanks!

Looking great!

The hood is on and it looks like a complete mustang!

The hood repro trim is a little long as it overhangs by about 3/16 on each side, but it looks right from the front.
Thanks!

those lines.... they make me drool.... this whole thread makes me drool..

What's left? windows and seats?

I have been following along with this thread and I must say Pat...You and your son Kurt have done an awesome job on his car. Not only are you giving him hands on experience of teaching him how to restore a car but also a birthday gift filled with memories that you both can cherish and he can look back on as he gets older.

We have a lot of little things, but the door glass and painting the rocker are last of the big items!
Thank You!

I have cherish the past 2 + years restoring this car with Kurt and now that his car is almost completed and he will be off to college in August I know I will miss all the time we work together. But my oldest is graduating this year so maybe we will do a car together??
Thank You!

If your oldest doesn't have a project on the fire, you can set up a cot in my garage and help me with my project(s).

Before putting the door glass in we painted & install the door latch rods

We use large white shoelace for the door handle rod and also installed some sound insulation inside the lower part of the door. The door glass and power windows are next.
Thanks!

Driver’s side door glass is in and adjusted!

The aftermarket power window regulator needed a little cut off one end to make room for the crank switch, and we made a 5/16 shim as the window crank would stick out to far without it.















The stealth power window switch is cool as it will look original. We think the painted round 66 mirror looks a lot better then the rectangular chrome 68 mirror.
Thanks!
