I purchased two separate Mustangs this past year since retiring in an attempt to capture what many of us do… re-live our teenage (first car, ‘66 fastback) years with the hard earned income we have managed to save over a lifetime of working. Not to mention the various skills that we have developed over a 50-year period. Dadgummit… we deserve it! I was spending some extended time in southeast GA where I grew up, post retirement. I started a search for a car while there through a cousin (thanks Chet). The last mustang I owned in 1984 was sold to a brother and then it sold to Chet. Chet and I started to contact a few friends and looked at some extremely rusted out vehicles. This led to the purchase of a 1966 C code coupe ($2,500) that was mostly disassembled with many new parts but did have AC and Deluxe Interior. It was in reasonable condition based on its starting point, with no motor but needed a lot of work. I started tearing out the rusted sheet metal and worked a few months on it there in GA., later trailered it back to Utah.

I made some intermittent trips back to Utah from GA, with a deep desire to keep looking for a fastback and stumbled on a ‘65 not far from my home in Utah. I never really used Facebook marketplace but decided to go look, another basket case but by this point I was deeply infected with the same mustang bug that many develop if not careful. Well… bought it! I will start with the build on the fastback (A-code 4-Speed) and start a separate build for the coupe. These are not concours restoration attempts… these will be “Nice” drivers by a DIY'er. These first photos are quite discouraging but it is now getting much better. Both cars are progressing and I have been documenting both builds on YouTube. I promise the motorcycle content is going to pick back up as well.

A little mis-hap while flushing and replacing the DOT 4 in the Black Pearl's hydraulic clutch reservoir and line. Fortunately the bike was well protected and covered... but the abrasive surface on the Harbor Freight lift... not so fortunate! New project ahead for the lift.

Hey Y’all, I got sidetracked from motorcycle content for while to build some bedroom furniture. I have some really cool improvements coming on my motorcycle lift… promise!

Perhaps I create a second channel for woodworking? What do you think?💭
