I took the Mustang to my friend, Gerry, so we can get more work done on making the car fully operational. Gerry has a garage that blew me away when I first saw it. He has so many mustang parts it's like walking into a mustang store, he has more tools then I'd know what to do with, and he's got some pretty sweet cars.
The daily driver is a 1966 Galaxie 500.
The Sunday driver: although not quite finished, 1969 Mustang Mach 1 with 428 Cobra Jet (one of the biggest baddest engines Ford ever produced)
Projects: Another 1969 Mustang Mach 1 with 428CJ (not anywhere near complete)
When I arrived, Gerry was very impressed with my Mustang and he was really excited to get to work on the car. We had some serious work to do:
Rebuilt the carb
Reconnected the rear brake lines (after we were done with this, I felt much safer driving the car)
Relocated the ignition coil to its right location
Tightened the steering since it was a bit wobbly
Made the connection between the solenoid and battery better
He tells me that he has some headers he would like to sell and I would really like to get those when the time's right. He also had a full set of wheel and tires that he wants to get rid of as well, so those might be a purchase in the near future.
