Just realized I didn't answer :) Its a 67 GTA fastback that was rode hard. Dad and I have been working on it for a couple years. The restoration plan changed as we got into it…. they don't call them mustangs for no reason…lol. New rear quarters, floors, and doors along with some "wow" look...

I did get the proverbial "You're going to Pennsylvania for a toolbox?" comment. Then I showed the current retail price…. not a peep after that. The top is nice, I'll eventually clean it up a bit. I don't think I'll recondition it though, as it has a nice patina. It just rests on top of the...

The weather finally cleared up and I was able to get it off the trailer and into the garage. It still had the manual and touchup paint

The fuel bill was steep, but I didn't break $1K. I think I got a good deal even adding in the fuel. All total, Im out less than $3K. My chariot :)

A friend had two and offered one up to me. Im pretty stoked. I drove 2300 miles over 4 days to pick it up. Can't wait to get it cleaned up. Any helpful hints / checks would be greatly appreciated. I've wanted a SnapOn box for a long time. Thanks in advance.

Added some 11gauge steel plate to my workbench tops. Twas a good fun day :)

My bad, I meant Racedeck XL. I was going to use both XL and Freeflow XLC but they are different thicknesses. The colors are Black, Royal Blue, Graphite and Alloy.

I needed a couple more tiles to finish out the corners, as I didn't measure quite correctly. They arrived and I finished up yesterday. I now have the "Project" in and no excuses. I installed the Racedeck by myself in about 6hrs. The final cutting and trimming took another day. Very happy...

Racedeck Installation pics

I was originally going to just keep the plain concrete floor, but, after further thought, said "If you're gonna do it, do it right and only once". I decided the Racedeck XL fit my needs very well. Ordering was quick and easy and they showed up about a week later. Luckily my neighbor has a...

I got lucky with a friend who is a certified master electrician. He is coming this week to finish wiring the fan and the lift. Words of wisdom.. you can never have too many outlets. Im also having him convert two of the 2 plug outlets to 4 plug. As for why the mezzanine. Initially I...

Back to the mezzanine storage and my neighbor tutoring in how to build proper stairs. Great guy! Stairs complete and platform sheeted. Next is more railing around the front. Maybe wood will come down.. I can hope.

Lift guys came by with a present :) It just fits on the highest setting :) Lift installed and tested. The certified electrician comes this week to wire it up.

Progress :) wood = gold…sheesh Mezzanine storage Framed up

Fast forward to this week (25 May) and let the building commence.
