Poetry in motion…


This is stage one of the 1965 Fastback restoration we are doing for a customer. At this stage it is dismantled and the paint is nearly completely stripped off. This car was restored once before, and we were lucky – whoever restored it before did it correctly and used all the right parts.

Here is the engine. It is actually in really decent shape, needs cleaning, possible timing chain repair and we are rebuilding the carburetor…





Here is an interior shot. The entire interior will be replaced with new pony interior…







In stripping the paint, one of the most IMPORTANT things to do is make sure the paint stripper does NOT run to the edge of the panel or section you are working on. The reason is that it will dry, and then when it’s wet again from rain it will reactivate again and then creep back into the fresh paint.

Here is a picture of the old exhaust system which will certainly be upgraded for better proformance.



I will be getting the paint and interior colors finalized this week. The transmission is getting rebuilt right now. Stay tuned!

Friday night, October 10th we went out to dance and help raise money to save Wild Mustangs…




We had a dance - a- thon where we each got sponsored per song we stayed on the floor and danced. Sponsors donated anywhere from .10 cents per song to $5.00 per song ( thanks Bobbi!).








Stay tuned, tomorrow we are posting more pictures of our outing. A big THANKYOU goes to our sponsors:

This afternoon I went to Inglewood, CA to check out a deal on a 1965 Mustang Fastback for sale for $15,000.

This fastback comes with a bonus - this 1965 coupe to be used for a parts car! It has a lot of rust and sounds like a flute driving down the block from all the holes BUT it’s a mean machine and has a strong V8 in it, so it’s a nice deal for someone to make themselves a great hotrod. The best feature is on the inside….circa 1970 – something - some swingin’ dude thought he’d maybe get lucky by installing premium shag carpet in his mustang… To complete this look all the car needs is a disco ball and an 8 track cassette player…

Here are the other pictures of this 1965 fastback T code. The body is in EXCELLENT condition, not an inch of rust. Gorgeous.

If you are interested in buying these beauties ( 2 for 1 deal!) you can contact “Leroy” here:
