Mustang Build Log

Post by jblackwell »

Well i had a thread going but it was messed up so heres the new, cleaner thread.
I have been doing some work on a 1965 Mustang that a friend of mine just got.
Heres the Car:

When he got the car it had no audio in it at all. :blackeye: He asked me to do some audio in it and it turned into quite a bit of work. The projects are as follows:
New Kick panels, with speakers built in. The kick panels on a 65 are huge, and there is absolutly NO room behind them, so i had to build outward for the speakers. So far they are coming together nicely. Heres the Steps ive gone through.

Thats the stage i am at right now, both kicks are drying and tomorrow i will be adding body filler and moving towards completion.

Project number two was the trunk. He said he couldnt stand how ugly it was so i came up with a few ideas and we both decided on one. We created a solid false floor, and pretty much covered up everything in the trunk.

Here are the steps that i went through:

Still is not complete but i am waiting on the amp to decide where i want to put it and it will be done.

Thirdly and probably one of the hardest is putting a new Alpine HU in the glove box. The main problem is that there is no glove box, its gone. When he got the car the glove box was missing so i had to fabricate EVERYTHING. Now ive only spent a few hours actually working on it but ive spent the last few days trying to decide how to do it. I have no wielder nor wielding skills so my options were kind of limited. I came up with a pretty good idea, now its just finding a spot to mount everything. Heres what i have so far:

Ive put about 5 days of work into the car so far. If any one has any questions or comments or better ideas let me know. My aim is jeeper09 if ud like to contact me that way. Ill be editing the pictures or adding them as i finish things. Monday the trunk should be completely done and by next wednesday hopefully the kicks will be all done. Wiring the radio is my next big challenge. If anyone has any similar projects that they have done like this please let me know because i would like to ask some questions. Thanks guys
