I ordered 8oz of a Ford Fleet color known as WT9301 to test against my car and see if it’s actually the color of the early pink mustangs! I’ll post the comparison photos as soon as I’m done, but based of of the sample on the top of the can, it’s looking rather promising!
I’ll be [...]

1965 Pink Paint Sample is in, But is it Right?
No, My 1965 Pink Mustang is NOT Listed for Sale in Florida!
A special Thank you to everyone out there that called or emailed me regarding the apparent listing of my vehicle by a dealer located in Pompano Beach, Florida. For the record, this dealer took what he called a “stock photo” until he could get real pictures of the car up. I’m not going to get [...]
Convertible Top Pulled for Restoration
I’ve got the top out the mustang, and I’ve packed it away safely for the winter while I work on the body of the Mustang. Pulling the top out itself was simple, I did it by myself in about an hour. I was expecting it to be a lot more complicated that it really was!
Original 1965 "playmate pink" color
Here’s an image of what the original “playmate pink” on a ford mustang looked like. This photo was taken during the current dismantling and restoration of my 1965 convertible.
When I compare this original paint to 1957 Ford Thunderbird color charts from Ditzler, the color matches up perfectly to Ford’s Dusk Rose.
It’s my belief that the [...]
Interior and Carpet Restoration
I pulled the interior and carpet on the 1965 convertible Mustang with the intention of replacing pretty much everything. I wasn’t sure what condition the floor pans would be in, but I’ve patched and replaced pans in other mustangs, so the prospect doesn’t frighten me too much.
Here’s what the Mustang looked like before I got [...]
Anyone want to buy a 1967 pink mustang?

***UPDATE*** I don’t know the exact address, [...]
Restoring the Air Cleaner
I have to admit, the air cleaner on my car was in rough shape. The paint had been re-sprayed once, and the paint job was poor at best. The paint was chipping away, exposing the original paint, and there was some severe overspray on both the box as well as the snorkel.
Strip it Baby!
The first [...]
What The F@*# Did I Just Buy?!? Part 2
My brother Thomas and I decided to make the trip up to Martinsburg, WVA to take a look at this car. We left straight from work, and 3 hours (and several winding backroads) later we had arrived. The owner uncovered the car, and we searched high and low for some indication of what the original [...]
