You'vre really been burning the midnight oil it appears.
Looks great.
I'm stumped by the car on the rotiserie. I was going to guess a 68 'Cuda since it looks like a fastback, but I dont recall that little roof ridge on those, or even on old Mustangs or Torinos for that matter. By the front clip it has to be a Mopar or Ford. What ever it is, it has some really nice floor pans.

Here she was on a "shakedown" weekend a couple of weekends ago. I put about 400 miles on her and made a small list of things to correct (simple stuff like fuel sending unit, right window crank binding, r134 conversion/charge, etc). Unfortunately we've just been swamped with Spring work and I dropped her in the corner for a few weeks. However, she'll be on the road for good in about 2 weeks. This week I'm finishing up the TBI install/program on the 80 Vette then the following week "The Mrs" and I will be in Antigua. I told the guys when I get back, then I want both cars in service.

Well, there were many late nights when trying to restore a Mustang in 11 weeks! Many late nights. Especially when trying to push through customer work during that same time!
I like this V8 model. Very cool.

We started the power plant the second week of January and put the final trim and stripe on last week. The only thing lacking is exhaust and that will be done this week. So basically 11 weeks. We were also other projects at the time too.

Here she was loaded up on the trailer and ready to head over to the show.......
And once there....since we have the entire room, she was pretty lonely while waiting for some of the other vehicles to arrive!

One last shot before I get some at the show this weekend!
(Don't mind the temporary exhaust hanging out under there........the exhaust system is the only thing we ran out of time on. Next week it will get its proper exhaust)

Good eye. That is, in fact, a Ford. It is a 1968 Mustang Shelby GT500. It was a barn find that the owner has brought in to us so that it can live once again. It still had the original 428 Police Interceptor in it when he found it. Yes, it has good floor plans.....we replaced them already!

Well, it's really coming together now.......just some minor tweaking of the nose and tail panels, trim, and final buff and glaze.....
