Hello all. I'm a long-time Mustang enthusiast (this is my 6th Mustang), and wanted to share a new build I'm calling Project Code Blue.

It's a 1965 Mustang A-code coupe, originally Caspian Blue with Parchment interior. The plan will be to mostly restore and make some tasteful updates (power brakes, etc).

Thanks for following along on this build! I'll be posting regular (hopefully weekly) updates here and on my Youtube channel at https://www.youtube.com/user/Mustangsean199150

Here's the car as it was picked up: No engine, no trans, no front fenders, etc. But it's a mostly solid car and for the price I couldn't say no!

Was a bit of a challenge getting it home with no suspension, rear axle, etc.

However, we made it safe into the garage. It did come with a few extra parts, but certainly not much.

Below are a few few walk-around pics of the car. It needs both quarters, trunk floor, and front floor pans. The doors are present but rusted out, so I'll be looking for doors at some point.

Little bit more done on the Project Code Blue 65 Mustang today. Got the rear filler panel out, repaired a missing section above the hinges, and started welding on the new filler panel. New video should be coming later this week, stay tuned!
