Welcome back!
Thanks for checking on #ProjectSR76.
Spurred on by the original moisture barrier discovery, I decided to pull the spare tire. Would it be original tire and rim?
More coming up on seat belts.

The list for my 1976 Stingray #SR76 continues to grow. That’s too be expected. It’s a project and for the amount I paid, well let’s just say…it was a great deal!
Now, if you are squeamish you might want to have someone else watch this first. There’s some good, some bad but there’s is a lot of ugly!!
I think shocks are coming up next. See you then!!
Thanks for checking in!

Welcome back to Average Guy’s Car Restoration. I’m still on the hunt for my C3 (I almost bought a 1971 Mach I – the price was right, but it has some ownership issues – they couldn’t prove who owned it!!)
Most of you know that I don’t have sponsors for Average Guy’s work. But I do not mind plugging something I enjoy or a product that works great.
You’ve seen a couple of posts on PetrolBox before. It’s no surprise that I’d present another.
They have multiple levels. This box is medium-priced. Check them out at mypetrolbox.com.
Enjoy the video.
Thanks for watching.

Thanks for checking in.
As I mentioned last time (and again in this video) I am searching for my next project.
With #ProjectSportsRoof settled in its new home and getting ready for paint, I’m looking for my always coveted C3.
I’m going to chronicle the search here and in my group on Facebook Average Guy’s Car Restorations and Projects https://www.facebook.com/groups/448659875541893.
This video kicks this search off. Enjoy.

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!
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:
I have a few Petrol Box supplied products to test out. Get ready for those videos!!
Lots more coming!!
Thanks for checking in.

Too hot to work on the Stang. Here is something I like, car related.
Tim
Yes…yes…yes….it’s been a while but you can look forward to see more work being done on #ProjectSportsRoof (soon to be #SR73 —get it? SportsRoof – 1973 Mustang…yeah?….cool)
Enjoy the video and I’ll have more coming up with my 73 Stang and a few things with going on with #ProjectBeepBeep – Bill’s 1968 Road Runner.

Welcome back.
I’ll be working on the the front bucket seats for the next few posts. I’m starting with the passenger seat because I want to keep #ProjectSportsRoof mobile.
Here is the beginning of the work.
More coming up and wait until you the mess that was the driver’s seat. It required a donor car part.
Thanks for stopping by.
