The 65 mustang is blocked and sanded. 11 days of waking up and sanding stuff. Still better than sitting in an office!!! Looks to be a happy customer too!

Finished gaping all the panels, blew it all apart, epoxy sealed everything, and now put it all back together in preparation for high build primer. This is the 2nd to last time we take it all apart and put it all back. After blocking, I`ll disassemble it completely again for paint.

I`ve been working on this 65 Mustang Coyote swap steadily for the past 7 weeks. After fitting the engine and transmission, I started working on body lines, adding a nose scoop, adding a wing, leading the body seams, and gaping panels. It`s now moving on to the next stage of epoxy coating and lots of block sanding. Fun Fun!

Just because you`re unique doesn`t mean you`re useful! Ol` lefty rocker shaft has a mean right hook in her! She`s been randomly walking off the valve stem causing a ruckus.

Fuel cell build! Can`t buy what I want, so I`ll just build it. I pushed the limits on space on this one and made new channels for the cell to rest on. We went from 17 gallon to 30 gallon.

I sold my 48 oldsmobile 76 series to a guy who stopped in and just had to have it. I missed that car, so I found this 51 oldsmobile 98 series. All original, documented 1 owner since new, with maintenance records.
This one is in much better shape, and I can`t wait to disappoint, anger, and frustrate every oldsmobile purest and "gotta keep it original" lover out there!
