Up for auction is my 1966 Ford Mustang project car. The vehicle is an original 289 car. I brought it home and began deconstruction on it to see what kind of hidden damage it had.


The driver side quarter panel has been braised in with an original Ford part at some point. Much better than the replacement 

The floor pans, passenger side quarter, radiator support, battery apron, and tail light panel have been replaced. The only spot that I know of that would require any further welding is about the size of a business card on the passenger side roof rail, as can be seen in the pics. Car has a new steel hood to bolt on once its painted. The fenders look good. The passenger side had some slight bondo repair on it. I would honestly just reskim it and use them as opposed to buying the aftermarket parts.

The car has a completely reworked suspension and steering linkage. I put Gas a just shocks all the way around, 1" lowering springs on the front, new leaf springs in the back and everything has prothane bushings on it. I sprayed a truck bedliner on the inner fenders and was planning on doing so on the interior floor pans as well, just the weather has not been right for awhile.

I still have all of the glass from the vehicle, but the windshield does have a crack in it and should be replaced.

Here is a list pf parts and prices that have been bought for the car so far:

2014 Ford Fusion order guide reveals new base Hybrid model, equipment changes

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

We've gotten our grubby little digits on the dealer order guide for the as-yet-unreleased 2014 Ford Fusion thanks to an anonymous tipster, and while there isn't much that's unexpected, there are some meaningful equipment changes to report after the rakish sedan's first year on the market.
Mechanically, the big news is, of course, the recently confirmed availability of the 1.5-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder paired with a six-speed automatic. The powertrain replaces the 1.6-liter automatic setup of 2013, though if you want a manual transmission, you'll still get the extra .1-liter of displacement.
On the equipment front, there are newly available rear inflatable seatbelts - as seen previously on the Explorer - along with a new heated steering wheel and cooled seat option on Titanium and Titanium Hybrid models (the latter two options will be late availability).

2015 Ford Mustang: Obsessively covered [w/videos + poll]

Thu, 05 Dec 2013

Here at Autoblog, we've officially stamped December 5, 2013, as Ford Mustang Day. Sure, the sixth-generation Pony Car started leaking out onto the web days ago, but all of the official, non-embargoed hotness has come out today. And man, there's been a lot.
In terms of new car debuts, this is a really big one - not unlike all of the Corvette madness that kicked off the 2013 automotive season. So to make sure you haven't missed anything, here's a wrap-up of everything you need to know about the 2015 Ford Mustang.

How Ford hid the 2015 Mustang from spy photographers

Fri, 20 Dec 2013

Now that we've finally seen the 2015 Ford Mustang, it's fun to go back and look at the spy shots we spent months pouring over, trying to dissect what was under all the camouflage. For the most part, Ford did a good job of concealing the car from spy photographers, and it released a video showing how much work went into doing so.
As crude as the Mustang's camo looked, all of the hard plastic, foam, vinyl and ratchet straps were actually created and put in place by a specific design team. The whole idea was to hide the car's identity, but it certainly ended up acting as a magnet for attention, too. According to Ford's press release, it took less than an hour for spy shots to appear online after the car was taken on public roads for the very first time - this is likely in reference to our first official spy shots of the Mustang from June, shown in the gallery below.
Scroll down for a press release and video, which shows footage of the 2015 Ford Mustang testing with minimal camouflage. This is probably the same track session where we got our first look at the Mustang's face back in August.
