It's so cool to see this long neglected car get the TLC it deserves. Those of us that remember these cars can see the potential of this restoration. It's obvious that the young man doing the work really knows his stuff. And it's red one! Really the most, to say the least!!!

His process is just awesome to watch. He makes it look effortless. He obviously knows which steps to take first before the next step.!!

I don't even like Mustangs, respect to the classics, but the documentation of this restore is great! I'm treating this like a TV show now, can't wait to see the final product.

Motorcycle guy here, but I love the detail of this video. I am looking forward to watching this old wreck become something beautiful again! Thanks for the upload!

So happy for you Jerry! This will be an awesome series if you plan on doing a series of nut to bolt to paint to drivetrain restoration. Hopefully you do plan on that.

I am surprised that this gentleman is working under the car, using power tools, etc., and is not wearing safety glasses for eye protection. Our vision is priceless.

Thats awesome Jerry!!! What a nice car.... thanks so much for showing the progress, can't wait to see what's next!!!

Glad to see that your dream car restoration project has begun Jerry ! I look forward to your future videos and wish you the best of luck my friend.

So lucky you are to finally get your dream car I've loved the fast back Shelby since high school. The Vietnam war got in the way and when I came home in 71 I couldn't find one, now I just can't afford one. Like I said a lucky man.

I watched (and commented) on the the finding of this car... I am constantly amazed at all the various "worlds" out there that the average person knows little about. The Shelby world is fascinating, to say the least, and it is impressive to watch people who know every little intricate detail - from the numbers stamped on the shock bodies to the specific number of holes drilled in the battery box. Amazing... 'can't wait to see what engine you choose to go into this car -

Can’t wait for part 2 what an amazing find .

Safety wire in aviation is not used to keep hardware from coming loose it's to prevent it from falling out of critical components such as powerplants, flight controls, and landing gear. Proper torque is supposed to keep fasteners tight.

Can't wait to see her all fixed up and pretty!

Love it! Thanks Jerry!

Glad to see the air driven impact gun. No replacing batteries every other hour to break your rhythm in the disassembly process.
