Up for auction is my 1966 Ford Mustang project car. The vehicle is an original 289 car. I brought it home and began deconstruction on it to see what kind of hidden damage it had.
The driver side quarter panel has been braised in with an original Ford part at some point. Much better than the replacement
The floor pans, passenger side quarter, radiator support, battery apron, and tail light panel have been replaced. The only spot that I know of that would require any further welding is about the size of a business card on the passenger side roof rail, as can be seen in the pics. Car has a new steel hood to bolt on once its painted. The fenders look good. The passenger side had some slight bondo repair on it. I would honestly just reskim it and use them as opposed to buying the aftermarket parts.
The car has a completely reworked suspension and steering linkage. I put Gas a just shocks all the way around, 1" lowering springs on the front, new leaf springs in the back and everything has prothane bushings on it. I sprayed a truck bedliner on the inner fenders and was planning on doing so on the interior floor pans as well, just the weather has not been right for awhile.
I still have all of the glass from the vehicle, but the windshield does have a crack in it and should be replaced.
Here is a list pf parts and prices that have been bought for the car so far:

Ford books $1.2B profit in second quarter on strength of trucks
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Ford is rolling along nicely, with a positive second-quarter sales report and a $2.3 billion profit in North America. The Dearborn, Michigan-based manufacturer captured $1.2 billion globally from April to June, with a $177 million profit in Asia. Even in Europe, the land of doom and gloom for automakers not named Mazda, Ford saw some success as it lowered its expected full-year loss from $2 billion to $1.8 billion. The company lost $348 million in Europe during the second quarter, which, believe it or not, represents a $56-million improvement over 2012.
According to the report on CNBC, Ford enjoyed a three-percent increase in pre-market trading thanks to the news. The strong demand for the F-150 propelled growth in the US market, while Ford's 47-percent increase in Asian sales can be attributed to the new EcoSport crossover and Kuga (Ford Escape in the US) arriving in the somewhat fragile Chinese market.
Pre-tax profits for Ford are expected to be in the neighborhood of $8 billion by the end of the year, with sales the US, Europe, and China all looking up. The company also shifted $4.78 billion of asset-backed debt in the form of bonds, according to a report by Bloomberg. This move came amidst rumors of the Federal Reserve cutting back on its $85-billion-per-month bond purchases. Ford wasn't alone among automakers looking to sell off debt, though, as Mercedes-Benz and Nissan shifted around $1 billion each in bonds relating to auto loans.
Question of the Day: Most degraded car name?
Fri, May 27 2016When Ford came up with a not-so-sporty version of the Pinto and slapped Mustang badges on it in 1974, that was a low point for the Mustang name. When Chrysler applied the venerable Town & Country name on perfectly functional but unglamorous minivans, it saddened many of us. But perhaps the biggest demotion for a once-proud model came when, in 1988, General Motors imported a misery-enhancing Daewoo from Korea and called it the Pontiac LeMans. The original Pontiac LeMans was a great-looking midsize car with fairly advanced (for the time) suspension design and engine options including potent V8s and a screaming overhead-cam straight-six. The Daewoo-based Pontiac LeMans was a cramped, shoddy hooptie that served only to ruin the LeMans name forever, while stealing sales from the Suzuki-based Chevrolet Sprint. Sure, using the once-respected Monterey name on the Mercurized Ford Freestar was bad, but Mercury didn't have long to live at that point. I say the downward spiral of the LeMans name was the most agonizing in automotive history. What do you think? Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
