Had to completely redo the fuel system. Cleaned out the aux tank, Bought a new main tank. Fabricated new fuel lines. Brakes were shot. New wheel cylinders, master cylinder, shoes and all new lines. Was missing the starter, carburetor, fuel pump and distributor. Replaced all of those. Hooked up a drill to the oil pump and spun it until I got oil to the rockers. Poured a little gas in the carb and it started. Yesterday I drove it about a mile. Not bad for having sit out in a pasture for 25 years and not run or started. Now for the body work and painting. When I get bored with this I will jump back on the Mustang and finish the wiring. Hope all is well with everyone. Donald

Looks like a good tub, no rot showing in the rockers or door jams looking at the pics. When you change the body mounts, you might as well do the floor pans while you’re at it. What’s the end game, flippin it?

The seat looks a little uncomfortable.

The only floor pan that has some rot is the passenger's side. The rest just have some surface rust. Not going to flip it. Give it to my son when I am gone. The first-generation Broncos are bringing crazy money now. OH, and I bought some like new seats and a few other interior pieces from a guy in Corpus that was changing the interior color of his Bronco.

I’m finally not upside down in my first restoration. Much easier working on them with body off the frame. Just add some bracing, I removed mine alone with an engine hoist. Body mount bolt removal is time consuming.

Who knows where my dad's pristine '67 is. Somewhere between Fredericksburg and Portland (OR). My brother got it and there were lots of vultures wanting to "help" his widow right after his funeral. 'Not my problem. Some people get all worked up over material things. I try very hard not to. bang

Won't lose it out in the pasture and won't have to worry about somebody shooting it. Still have the grill, top, tailgate and doors to paint. Installed a new windshield. So far so good.

Wow! Nicely done.

Dang Don, that looks super! My brother asked if it was for sale?

Any photos of the Mustang after full restoration?

Biscuit. I did everything myself. It is not perfect, but I like it. Western. I quit working on the Mustang when I picked the Bronco up. I will start back on it when I get finished with this. The Bronco is not for sale but the 1958 Ford F100 I did a while back is. I need to downsize and the truck needs to go. [Linked Image]
