How I restored my 1966 Ford Mustang
I have messed around with cars before but this was my first restoration. It all started with a small bubble in the paint on the drivers side quarter panel. I sanded it down and it turned out to be a lot worse than expected. First lesson learned. So I could leave it like that or learn to fix it. For myself there was no choice and no turning back. I had done the motor work, suspension, exhaust and most of the interior before I started documenting it and taking pictures. The video starts after finding the rust behind the paint. The logo is something I drew up a while ago and thought it would be cool to put it in the videos. All of the work was done by hand. I do not have my own shop, and I did not spray any of the primers or paint on this one.
This restoration took place over a few years. The different talents it takes to complete it were self taught as I went on: welding, body work, upholstery, suspension and motor work. Not saying I am the best but I am very proud of my accomplishment.
Since this build, I have completed a few more projects (65 and 67 F100). Hope you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
