start with cutting out the rust part of the old cowl try to leave as much of the original panel as possible once you get the rust part cut out, we can move on to cutting down the patch panel. to the size that will fit into the hole that been cut out of your mustang old cowl   then clamp the patch into place spot weld patch in place  then go back and completely weld it up

Got work done on the rear tail light panel also got the trunk lid worked into place glad that they had not welded the inner and outer edges together made twisting and bending lid into shape a lot easier.  Now that it is in the right shape, have it welded together to hold its right shape

Well have start work on the cowl area of the mustang got the upper panel removed to see how bad it is. Going to have to remove the dash panel too so to get to the cowl side panel and replace them too, along with having to but in the outer end patch panel for the fire wall too! but I thing before I go on I will have to make up a chassis frame jig for the car it will be needing it with so much structural repair that it will need the jig to keep the rest of the car in it proper placement

well I have gotten work start on the 1967 convertible mustang with stripping it down for soda blasting.now that the soda blasting is completely done. let see how much will I will be needing to replacing, so go on over to the work pic page and look at what done on the car so far.

If you are looking into purchasing a classic car for the first time or you are not sure what to look for or what are the likely known problem areas that you need to be inspecting it is a good idea to get someone that does pre-purchase inspections or someone who has good knowledge of that particular vehicle to do a  pre-purchase inspection for you.  So when you get the car of your dreams you do not find out later that under that nice shiny paint it is hiding a true mess that will cost you a lot of money to get fix right!

Like they say “Let the buyer beware” in some cases it is so true!

Just had a customer stop by all disappointed with work done to his 70 Mustang .  It had been in a shop for two years and still was not a rolling car. New parts were missing and he wanted me to look at what was done to the car. I looked over the car, found a lot of shoddy work that they had done!  They put on a set of  Shelby traction bars and instead of welding them to the frame they had used liquid nails and glued them to the frame.  The center link was installed upside down and there was more … it makes me mad to see someone get taken like that.
