Rusty Gillis
Reliable trucking delivered this 1965 Convertible for a customer from Va November 2018. At first this looked like a very nice Mustang with very little rust but you can tell it wasn't a good paint job. She still wants it painted "Baby Blue" and mostly stock on the outside. Her Husband is building a new small block with a C4 transmission with a Gearvenders overdrive. We will be installing DSE front and rear suspension and she wants leather interior. They bought this back in Aug. 2018 and they wanted a rust free Mustang when we are finished with it. I suggested she drive this one for the 1 1/2 years it was going to take to restore and sell it when we finished building the 65 convertible we had behind the shop. To make it rust free everything has to be removed to get to the inner structure and epoxy primed. She wanted this one restored

Another trophy winner in the lineup!
I like the idea of epoxying only the parts that stay. Wish I had thought of that on a few previous projects.

That rocker panel is classic body sculpturing.
 
Wow that looks like alot of work, it will all be worth it in the end having all those hidden areas epoxied.

Im excited to follow along.
