Description

Oh, the things we put ourselves through for shiny cars.
Of the three project vehicles in this ongoing series, our 1965 Mustang is the only one that began, for us, as a finished car. The previous owner had done a decent job of restoring it, despite the inevitable fit-and-finish nitpicks. All that to say that as nice as it was, it wasn’t perfect. With a goal of modernizing the car so it could actually be driven on public roads, many of the little issues started bugging us.
