Officially Undriveable now

[Matt Peetz]

Well I have today and tomorrow before i have to go to Houston for training for work. I really wasn't planning on doing anything with my mustang but after i got home from the morning errands and sitting at the table I was hearing my mustang telling me to work on her.
So i got the coveralls on and went into the garage. Started at 2:00 and finished for the day at 5:00.
There has been some obvious front end damage on the driver side. I didn't spend to much time examining it. My plan was just to get off as many items as i could. All i have left is the rest of the interior and the dash. I really want to have the tear down done before i go to training so when i get back home from work in 3 weeks i can start to get the engine out. I want to have a good 4 days for that.

Hopefully i linked the album right. Hope you enjoy.

I added some photos to your post. Good progress man! Be patient and do it right once! The biggest problem I had with mine is I had others do some work for me on my first car I restored and ended up having to many do overs therefore costing me more.

Looks like you have been busy :)

Very nice Matt,

Good progress to see where you stand and what you'll need to do. Find anything interesting such as build sheets and the like? Tackle the job with resolve one step at a time and the light at the end of the tunnel will be at Mach 1.

Great progress. You'll probably get a lot done if you have four days to work on it when you get back. Keep us posted.

Steven
No i didn not find anything. I forgot i still have to get the headliner out but first i have to get to the parts store to get the star bit to get the seatbelts unbolted.

Here is the cowl area i was talking about and the link to the album with additional pics.

Quite a bit of work ahead for you but not so bad.. Hopefully you have taken the time to tag the different bolts, braces, brakets and etc. so that it will go back together easier. Looking forward to seeing the project progress.

The bolts and nuts that looked original I put back into the holes for now. Not to many original bolts or nuts. Had alot of " well i will see if this works" from the parts bin from prior work. So looks like i will be buying nuts and bolts kits. Found alot of drywall screws

[Steven Harris]

Drywall screw - original screw, yeah that'll work.
