Tony's project

It was a VERY long and stressful three months when Tony was hospitalized for a very severe MRSA infection last year. He has come a long way and still more to do until he is 100%, but he trying. I thought to inspire him to get up and move more, was to have a project he would love and wanted ALOT. So I bought him a 1969 Mustang Coupe, that ran, but still needed some help. One he could put his ideas and personality into. Of course, it going to be his Dallas Cowboy Mustang and he has already named it "SALLY". Get it? Mustang Sally? Oh well.
I guess I am the supervisor but he does it how he wants it to look. I just show him how to do it. We started from the bottom and are working up from the chassis...brakes, suspension, frame, then bodywork and finally interior. But, as most of us on our first full restoration or custom build, we get a little impatient and want to rush ... as does Tony. It's normal.
Tony does catch-on quickly. Yeah, I am the one with the belly and gravity fed chin on the left ... after welding. Tony is the handsome one sitting. We'll keep you posted on the progress in between trips. Take care and stay safe. God Bless you all.
