Day 50-52 Still more welding

Sadly I got way behind on blogging this time and I don't even know how many days when by. I think there were a few days where we didn't get any pictures. So I do have three days of pictures at least.

We are still in the welding stage. The floor is now about 99% welded in. Plus the seat platforms on both sides have been welded in. We just have a few more welds to do, and then the grinding will begin. Then it will be good to the painters. It is exciting thinking that it will be going to the painters soon. It is really coming along! It is amazing seeing the progress.

Anyways here are some pictures from the past week or so of work (these are only from three days of working since we didn't get pictures of everything).

Day 48 and 49.. Tail light and starting on the floor

Once again, I got very behind on blogging. So day 49 would have been June 28th. They were able to get the tail light piece welded on.


They then set the tail light in it just to make sure that the piece of metal didn't get tweaked while they were working on it. Looks like a great fit!

Then they moved onto the floor. They were able to get a good start on the floor before calling it a day. So the floor officially will not be coming back out of the car.


Due to vacations and Mike converting his '66 fastback from an automatic to a manual, there was a Little bit of a break from working on the car. So the next time they go out there (day 49) was today. It was a day spent working on the floor. They were able to get about half way done with the floor. They still have to weld the back section of the floor and put the seat platforms in.


We are getting closer to sending it off to be painted. I am sure the neighbors will be happy when the car gets shipped off. I am sure they are all getting tired of the banging and grinding noise. Actually the neighbors have been pretty good about it. The neighbor behind us says it doesn't bother him at all... and the side neighbor (who is the closest neighbor to the garage) is just excited to get to see the restoration, and is excited to see the finished project. Lucky for us that neighbor likes mustangs. So we haven't had any complaints....yet.
