My god Marius does this bring back memories! :cheers:

Back in 1972 I had a 1965 Mustang hardtop with Fords 6 cylinder, 3 speed transmission, and 4 bolt hubs. I had some great times driving mine and I hope Bob enjoys this treasure of yesteryear...

Beautiful work Marius! :props:

Ya I figured he wanted all original which I completely understand. I'm sure he will love it to death.

The car has family history.Bob had contemplated switching the engine early on but decided to keep the six.I think that was a smart move.

Agreed! Plus he said he wanted it to be just like it left the showroom floor henceforth leaving the 6

So we've been busy for a couple of weeks and made some more progress with Jenny so i took some more pics and here they are ...at this point we are about half way done with her , she still needs to have the interior done and the convertible top needs to be installed before it goes to the upholstery shop , the fuel tank has been also installed and the exhaust system has been bolted in ... the transmission has to be filled with oil and the drive shaft hooked up so its only rolling right now but we are close to firing it up and testing things to make sure everything is in proper order :xyxthumbs: .. in a couple of weeks ill be doing the cut and buff on Jenny so stay tuned for that as im sure you guys will enjoy that....

And here is Jenny just idling in the driveway .. we are making sure that everything is tight and nothing leaks ..plus its like 95 degrees today so its perfect time to make sure it'll run in hot weather and not explode .. LOL ..

Here is Jenny fresh back from getting the interior and soft top done !!
In case you were wondering why the hood is off its because we are still making sure all the bugs are out and its easier to work on with the hood off. :props:
