A Visit with #ProjectSR73

By | | , ,

I never  do this!!!

But I wanted to check on my old 1973 Mustang Sports Roof.  #PRojectSR73!

I spoke with the new owner and he stated ” Hi Tim, I  premiered it black, was going to get it painted but this Camaro came up for sale so I bought it instead. It’s basically in the same condition of the Mustang with the finished interior but in need of paint. It’s going to take awhile being that paint jobs are crazy expensive.

#SR73 has a roommate”

 

 

Nick as given #ProjectSR73 and wrap!   He states:  “I just got the mustang “wrapped” for half the cost of paint for now. I think it came out pretty nice, I will update you when I finish the the small details that I still plan on doing.  The Wrap last 3-5 years with normal use, Being the car will be garaged and not washed on a regular basis it should last longer. PS; you really did a great job rebuilding this car, It runs and drives awesome! Thanks, Nick.”

When I added the Delta 45’s  to #ProjectSportRoof – #SR73, the tailpipes came up short.  I’m not sure why that happened  and I’m not sure why I didn’t notice it.  But hey it gave me a quick project while I’m on our fall break.

I was going to polish up the ends but I’m going to shop for some chrome ends.   Drop Me some suggestions.

Here is the video:


Thanks for check in.

#ProjectSportsRoof – In the Beginning – Throwback

By | | , , , , , , , ,

I was chatting with someone online about cars and I recalled driving home with my first Mustang project car.  It was a 1970 Coupe, not fastback, or Mach I, not even a Grande. You can still find so of the work on that car here on my blog.   I purchased the car in Phx, Az. from a lady who got the car from her mom. Her mom was the first owner.  It was 6 cylinder (250) with a/c and in pretty good shape.  I remember driving it down the freeway not knowing much about it mechanically and I didn’t want to temp fate by turning on the a/c, just needed it to make back to Tucson.   I wish I had recorded that drive, but it would not have been comparable to the ride home in #ProjectSportsRoof.  Now that one I did record.

So, I thought I’d put together a quick video showing the drive home and toss some before pics and a  “now’ video snippet.  Here ya go!


Notice I didn’t tout the “now’ snippet as the “after” because it’s not complete….then again, in the world of project cars, is there ever really and “Final” after?

I think not.

Thanks for checking in.

Temps weren’t in the triple digits this morning so I thought I’d fire up the Stang (#ProjectSportRoof) and runner down the main drag a bit.   As I started her up and let her idle a bit and wrapped up the car covers I noticed a dripping underneath.

Details:

 


Here’s a quick follow up to my video Petrol-box subscription.

I have a few Petrol Box supplied products to test out. Get ready for those videos!!

 

Lots more coming!!

Thanks for checking in.

Pandemic starting to fade, school about to end, I think it’s about time to get to the auto parts store, minus the mask and get some work done.

But first let’s start with a drive in 73 Mustang (#ProjectSportsRoof).
