    I own a 67' stang I bought for $500.
    This car had multiple problems, beat to crud, and needed some TLC.
    I tracked down the origonal motor/tranny for it.

    This is the work I did this weeked, spend 12 hours getting the body shape back correctly.
    Heres a before pics.
    [​IMG]

    The damage was pretty bad, no picture could capture the severity of the dents.
    I worked out 6 or so yesterday.

    Heres the pictures of the first layer of bondo I applied, dint get any before pics due to it being 4 am and me not wanting to go get the camera and wake the folks.

    This was to ensure I got the form back correctly as there was mabey 50% of the origonal form left. It got sanded off, and a layer of fiberglass applied. Worked great, Ill have more pics next weekend.

    1st pic:
    You can see how the edges are reformed, no more dents, thats about 1/16th inch of bondo very liberaly applied.
    [​IMG]
    2nd Pic:
    You can see the one of 4 small rust through spots on the body. Dint want to bondo this, not worth it, esp. if im glassing it.
    [​IMG]
    3rd pic:
    You can again see the lines completly reformed.
    [​IMG]

    Ill get more glass work/finish pics later.

    Very nice :D Good to see someone else trying to keep these ol' guys and gals on the road and give em the respect they deserve.

    You got any plans for it? I assume it's a 289 (please, no 6-pot :rolleyes: ).
    No plans for a Shelby replica then.... :naughty:

    Its outside!!
    Well, as soon as I got it outside it started raining.
    (Our neighbore droped off a tree in our driveway while no one was home, :wtf:.

    Bondo is 90% gone, but the rest acts as a good filler for the small holes. Yes that fiberglass ontop.
    [​IMG]
    Ahh the non exisitant sun roof...
    The blue is fiberglass resin jelly, works like a charm. There are 3 patches of fiberglass on the roof, a little hard to see.
    [​IMG]
    Ahh the rear... more fiberglass.... found more bondo from previouse ownder :mad: Idiot dint know how to do ****, plastered it ontop of the orgional paint.
    [​IMG]
    And more fiberglass over some rust caused by traped water.
    [​IMG]
    2x 1000w space heaters and 2x heat lamps. Its 48f out and falling. Fiberglass only dries when the catalyst has a 70f ambient temp.

    More tommorow as it will be set, I can sand, fill, and primer!

    Lookin good, bud..Lots of work to do, but I'm sure this will end up being my dream vehicle..maybe I'll buy one in my mid life crisis.

    Keep up the good work, can't wait to see the grill back in the front.
