Well, a new project has begun…
I’ve been chaffing of late at my lack of ‘direction’ during my free time. I’ve still not finished cleaning out the garage since the launching of Danga, for goodness sake! I was looking at a new boat project but I didn’t want to build out something that I wouldn’t be using or that I’d have to drag across the continent to our retirement locale, Nova Scotia.
So, on a whim one day, I mentioned to my mother that I liked the maroon Mustang her neighbor’s son had sitting in the driveway. I proclaimed that given the opportunity I’d like to get something like that and fix it up.
Well, my mother asked and the car was for sale – and for a price I could afford if I were to skip my trips to the local pub. Damn! My big mouth. I checked the car over and it looked essentially stock and in reasonable shape. No rust and only minor dents from an impact with some stationary object in the front left.
I bit the bullet. I bought the thing and presented it to my wife as her birthday present. I knew she always wanted a classic, red muscle car – so it was a hit. Now, of course, comes the hard part – doing the work.
Here are some pictures of the thing as it is today….
