After you finish the car and get paid......tell the owner you'll need additional payments for aggravation. 100 dollars a month for the rest of his life.
I really feel your frustration at this point, but I admire your patience , your skills and your knowledge. I am hoping the person that did the hankering job is watching your series and is ashamed of himself. God has a place for people like this. Amen
I’ve had several red cars and loved them, but I would not be able to stomach painting this Pony red again,especially since it’s not the original color.
The owner is getting a total restoration. Get it back to original specs or as close as possible and enjoy it. Resale red got him once, it would be great in its original colors. But it his car and his $.
God bless you, sir. I am impressed by your determination to do things right. I was a house painter by trade. I don't know how many times I tried to convince people to always have ceilings painted whenever they had the walls done. The ceilings always looked fine until after the walls were done. Then it took a lot longer to paint the ceilings after the fact. There were times I ate the cost because I couldn't leave the job half done. You are in the same situation 100 times over. Hang in there.
i've got a 65 notchback sitting outside in okla, wouldnt have been one tenth this trouble, im glad you stayed with it. btw what you think of the hecho en mexico 302
Your right a nice starter car and use the red one as a donor would have been the way to go, hind sight is 20/20, but a good driver,oh yeah but a safe one
I feel bad for the guy who bought it, there is a special place in hell for those kind of hacks. I am as guilty as anyone of using "less than appropriate" fixes, or whatever I have access to in order to get a car functioning well enough to get me to work, or get me home- but I damned sure won't sell them that way (or if I do, it is disclosed in excruciating detail). I've said it before, but this kind of car (as it was) moves beyond "buyer beware" and into the realm of "fraud, with intent to do bodily harm"
You have gone above and beyond with this car. Your patience is admirable, at least on camera? 🙂 What a project this turned out to be for you. The window mechanisms look like a pain in the butt. I would imagine you'll get try and find reproduction or remain for some of the pieces? Probably the dash pieces, too? Anyway, good work ethics on your part. 👍
This cars been a definite test of doing what I feel is right, and yeah you can get just about everything for these now I just can't get over how there's not one thing unturned and put back incorrectly
The last 'restoration' is likely not the first one in the 60 years this car has been around. A lot of this was 30+ year old body shop hackery. Crank it out quick and blow on a coat of 'resale red'.
The video series on this Mustang should be a required watch for anybody interested in buying a vintage car that doesn’t really now what to look for . You are doing a magnificent job of saving a car that should have been parted out .
Once I'm able to go back home; I'm going to Harbor Freight, buy a MIG welder, a plasma cutter, face shield, etc and teach my 66 yo butt how to properly weld
If you know that you don't have the skills to do a job right, 🤔 Don't attempt to "teach yourself" on a customers stuff🤨 You only make the job harder on the person that DOES KNOW what they're doing.
Yaaaa, no. Same here. I took a car to my local vocational high school to have some minor stuff looked at, slow power window, lock that wouldn't lock, basic stuff. Granted the students were looking at it but they said they didn't see anything wrong. Later i took some rims n tires to be mounted at the same school, instructor did the test drive as students weren't aloud to drive my 01 Cobra. Lol. Full disclosure, my kid was a student in that shop class at the time. Lol. The instructors knew their stuff, as i got to know them over the 4 years.
