Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire 69 Mustang Mach 1 build

got some rocker and related area rot.



cut out the cavities.




and, start making stuff.



I'll finish that puzzle piece after lunch.

I used to think paint prep work was the worst part. This is one project where I can see you thinking, man I can't wait until I can prep for paint!

I am duly impressed. To say you'll know the Mach 1 inside and out by the end of the project will be an understatement.

Rocker is repaired. Now to piece together the bottom of the B pillar.

I continue to be amazed by your skill

Thanks.


Good lord my feet hurt.

Standing on concrete everyday, its really bad, mostly my heels.

Damn, what's the secret to old man feet surviving on concrete?

Thanks, might have to check that out.

Rubber floor mats

Good arch supports, so your weight is carried by your whole foot not just your heel and ball of your foot.

Thanks for sharing the work in progress!

Lots of options out there, but worth every penny

The moonshine runner, Black Betty, the mach one and this mustang comin' in...when ya gonna do a Chevy?

Here's a chunk that came off that rocker.



B pillar repairs.



I decided to fill in the triangle hole in the inner door frame. There is no functional purpose and a little more strength next to the drivers seat should be OK.






There, one step closer to quarter panels.

Beautiful work Dave.

I sure hope the client realizes what he's getting here.

Putting the puzzle back together one weld at a time.
Nice work!

nothing on earth needs one of those garbage blowers, Vortech or go home.

Shevy?

Like this?

please tell me talked the guy out of the two shiny corvette exhaust tips......exiting like a new vette.....

That's the way the exhaust was when they got the car.

I don't think its going to stay that way.

Lame as hell

Buddy of mine had a Hertz Shelby (GT350H) with a Paxton that I drove many years ago, it ran pretty darn good for a blow through set up.

Another buddy has a Vortech on a Keith Craft 347 in a fox body, runs like a bat, but the Vortech is so noisy (even at idle) I wouldn't have it.

Have another buddy with a BMW M3 with the Active Autowerke "Prima Plus" supercharger system, it screams and is quiet even at 8+ pounds of boost.

I think a Paxton just looks better, on a vintage mustang, than a more modern supercharger.
