Oops, forgot I'm not watching Robin Williams . I'd like to say "Howdy Partner, glad to be here!" I'm a long time Mustang fan, probably since I was hatched then dropped on my head (so my wife says).

I'm currently working on my third Mustang, the only one left, which is a 1967 coupe with lots of options! It has a 289c.i./4bbl/automatic that has around 125,000+/- miles on it. I bought it back in the '90s and have been working on it for years. I'm currently rebuilding the whole front of it, don't ask...accident.

I live in the beautiful Left Coast, and I'd drive my baby everyday if it was running. I'm here to learn more than I think I know, add to the discussions and maybe if lucky....find parts I need to make it all work. Most of all, I'm here to make friends and network with those who like stuff I like. I love all Mustangs, cheer anyone that works on their own car and offers assistance to those around them trying to learn about these great icons of muscle. I don't care if you're making a Restomod or doing a Concours restoration, as long as we're not sending them to the junkyard.

Drop me a line or ask me anything, if I can help you I will. I'm not a genius and some will think my mechanical skills are poor, but as far as I see, I'm turnin' a wrench and that makes me happy. I'd rather do it right, but will do what I gotta do to make the parade. It's real nice being here and I'm proud to call all of you friends and family.

 

Welcome and pics please

 

Howdy Glenn! I don't have any pictures right now, but will get some scanned it soon. The car is in my garage under years of storage and life's emergencies. I hope to post some as soon as I can dig it out. Nice to meet you and hope I'll be able to add to the discussion around here as time goes on.

 

Welcome. Sounds like youve got a long history in Mustangs :P what were your other two?

 

My first was my dad's commuter, a 1968 coupe that had a 200 c.i. six cylinder with an automatic transmission. Now THAT was an experience in learning and failure. I was still in High School and was taking ROP Autoshop, and didn't really know the people I was working with. The teacher was great, but the students were jealous because I was the only one in the class that owned a car. My partner gave me the wrong info and a broken tool ( I was too stupid to know it was broken) and I ruined the head to the engine. My valve job failed and my dad got so angry, he took the car away. It sat for years and eventually he had it crushed. Boy, I was destroyed by that loss.

The next Mustangs I got, were a 1967 Coupe and a 1967 Fastback (for my wife...now ex). I worked on them for years, but fate stepped in and things got rough. My ex-wife was rear-ended on a freeway exit by a kid doing 65mph. He slammed her and the car got badly crushed and flipped. Since the whole car was trashed, I stripped what I could for parts and sadly retired the carcass to the junkyard. It was a beauty, made me cry...I miss that car.

I recently had a 1985 Mustang hatchback used for commuting but, needed money so I sold it to a local teenager. The dream now goes forward in another young man, hope he enjoys it.

I still have the coupe, it's in my garage waiting for the whole front-end and clip to be replaced (I had a boo-boo that hurt her badly). That's the car I currently have and will resurrect in the future.
