Lenny B's First Restoration Project - 1968 Mustang
Posted: Wed Mar 01, 2017 9:16 am
Hello Everyone,
I decided to post and log my first complete restoration done entirely by myself. I started with a nice clean driver that was starting to showing its age. The paint was OK but there was some bubbles on the lower door and fender. The interior was redone so that was a plus. The drive train was all in good order but the engine paint was starting to flake and the suspension components were rusting and dirty. I bought the car with the intent to do a complete 100% nut and bolt restoration. I plan to get it back to all original with the exception of adding 100 Horse Power and Power Disc brakes. It's a numbers match 302 4V C-4 Auto trans car. So far I've totally disassembled it, then stripped the entire main body including underbody and engine compartment to bare metal, and then Epoxied Primered. So far no rust or dents, just a nice clean car. Then drivers fender and doors have some rust which I'll cut out and patch. Pics Below.
PS - Thanks again for all the good advice you guys have given ~ Lenny b
