Project 67 Mustang

So Kirk did you end up going to Sterling to pick the trailer up? Looks like your the rebuild thread to get us thru the winter!

I have just seen in your first pic,your boot stripe is the same as mine. I have never noticed any others that are the same, most seem to continue all the way to the front. Did Steve meet you in town and blindfold you for the ride out to the ranch? If you ever decide you need a new axle check with TimB he has a source and might have one for the springs too. I had trouble with the seal area on mine so I bought one and it fit fine. As you will find out when you eventually work on yours running gear parts are odd sizes compared to others.

Sorry forgot to rotate the photo

That's the hull number you're looking for. It's definitely not a '69 though. The number would seem to reinforce my previous guess.

I have a number of 68-70 mustang id numbers collected, the earliest verified is in the late 2200's and was a '68 built in sept of 67. I'd say yours is a late 67 or very early 68 based on the id and other trim details I see.

What's in the battery box?

Looks like someone made the battery box hole bigger too, the edges are cut at 90 compaired to a radius. I have some floor pictures Kirk but will get them later,I can't get into photobucket for some reason and yes it goes quite a way back. Do you have the toe board? I have a decent one if you need it.

Yes it is Kirk it matches the floor and has ply glassed in on the back side to give it strength

In the end I used the same 3m compounds and pads that we use on the hull. Cleaned up really well.

Tim looks like these are original

Yes, scoops are original, since I posted last year about not recognizing those rounded scoops, I've encountered a few 67 and early 68 boats with them.

Not sure what we're looking at in the "how do I fix this" pic?

Motorbox looks good!

Which side of your windshield is plastic, port or starboard? I believe the mounting tab on the windshield could be welded back on.

Oh boy now your putting me to the test
Uh the plastic was on the port side, the glass was on the starboard side

I hope your going to Tell me you have the one I need ? And your willing to part with it.

Ken Meloon at the Taveres show was telling me how many halfs they used to go thru,I'm guessing the passenger is using it for a handle,while the driver used the wheel?

I didn't ask how many wheels they had John
