Sorry I have been gone, but due to Hurricane Katrina, I have been really busy. It destroyed half the county I live in and I work in a Home Center Store so I have been busy. I just started working on my '65 again and just purchased a 2006 V6 Vista Blue Mustang. (pictures coming soon.) My '65 is coming along nicely. I had a weekend off about 3 weeks ago and the body is almost ready for fillers and such. Engine is going to Vanderlee's Engine shop to be worked on. Mr. Vanderlee played with Vic Elderbrook (yes same name and same person) as a kid.

He only works on high performance engines. I am excited about that.

What Is Yet To Be!!!

This is my dream since I was 15. I am rebuilding my very own 1965 (early) coupe. Nothing special,
just a standard "C" code engine in it originally.
I am "hot rodding" it like it would have been done
in the 60's. Style steel wheels and black & blue interior. A little bit of carbon fiber on the inside for a little updated look.

The pictures below are the day it came home and about a year later when it was stripped down. I am going back with the Caspian blue exterior which is a really dark blue. The interior will be black & blue with a little chrome to it.

The engine.... well... that is still work in progress. I have just purchased a 5.0 and it is next after the body is completed.
I already have competition shocks and springs as well as new leaf spings. It is a long process but it is getting there.

The funny story on my stang was one of the bills of sale. It said "sold for $500 -- $200 cash and $300 in hay... good hay." (See following page for updates as work continues.)
