It rolls in

A white 1967 Mustang lands in the gravel yard of our home driveway, back when that driveway was the whole shop. First job: look it over, inside and out.

02May – June 2025 · Our driveway

Hood up, evenings in the driveway

Weeknights and sunsets with the hood up. The blue 289 V8 gets sorted, the wheels go on fresh BFGoodrich Radial T/As, and the car starts looking like itself again.

Wrapped Oxford White

Into the garage, and the whole body gets vinyl wrapped in Ford Oxford White, panel by panel: squeegee, heat and patience around every curve and chrome edge.

Into our own bays

By December we had bays of our own in San Jacinto, and the Mustang was one of the first cars to roll in. Purple wall, roll-up doors, room to work.

Rebuilt engine goes in

The rebuilt 289 drops back in: blue block, an upgraded Holley four-barrel under the chrome air cleaner, "Mustang Powered by Ford" valve covers and new blue plug wires.
