1965 Mustang with 289 automatic. This car was originally a light blue metallic, with an all white standard interior with blue carpet.       In these next pictures you can see the rear fenders and trunk lid have been repaired.       At Paint by Marty the rust isn't treated or covered up. It is cut out and new sheet metal put in its place. Here a quarter panel is replaced using plug welds and beveled seams.       When finished The Blue Angel will be Midnight Pearl Blue with Dark Blue and White Pony Interior and blue carpet.

UPDATE       The Blue Angel is coming along slowly, but it is closer than it was.

UPDATE       All the sheet metal in place and ready to paint.

This 1965 Mustang Coupe has been sold. Hopefully it will return to us for some paint at a future date

UPDATE       And it has come back to us! The new owners are staying with the blue paint scheme, so now the car will be known as Megan's Blue Angel!       While it was away the 289 has been cleaned, painted, and polished, and new front suspension and steering components added.       A bit of rust has appeared on the battery side fender apron, and in the floor pan. Once this is taken care of, it will be time to start splashing some blue!

UPDATE       Now we have the new paint cut in around the doors and trunk lid. The engine compartment has also been painted.       The dashboard received a fresh coat of white.

Megan has now taken possession of her Blue Angel. Word is she is grinning so big her face hurts! She is personally involved in this rebuild!       They have since replaced the tank with a 22 gallon unit. The door handles are on. Tail lights and driver side body trim are on. The under hood and rear wire harnesses are in. Throttle linkage, trans linkage are in. Radiator, export brace, monte carlo bar are in. Alternator and waterpump are on. The HIPO exhaust manifolds wanted to bang on the shock tower, but some new adjustable Ron Morris motor mounts solved the problem.
