Crazy how a little carpet really makes a huge difference.

Picking up the car from the body shop today. Rust repaired and a new windshield.

And got the wheel back from being restored and the tires mounted and balanced.

Got the car inspected this past Friday! Here are the lead up rush pics. A lot of finishing and fitment things weren't pictured, but there was some decent head banging fitting everything back in.

Stripped and repainted the arms and hit the stainless with a little scotch-brite.

The pilot's view...

Wheels on and I'm in love all over again.

Even made it to the Cars and Coffee on Sunday

Me towering over the car....

Thanks! I obviously hold very little sacred, so I had to have it. lol

Took the chrome off the caps, cleared them, and put on new vinyl bubble logos.

Finally got her lined up! Very happy I started close to where it needed to be. Turn in is sharp and feels really sorted in turns.

Also this weekend was the Pittsburgh Vintage Gran Prix...

Even made a 240 friend!!

Everyone really, really liked the car. Even ran into the Mustang Marketing Manager and it blew his mind.

***Still taking it super easy, still in the tuning process.

Looking good. I finally got my engine and just finished mounts yesterday.

Happy new year and happy build season!

I drove the 242 for the rest of the fall. Everyone seems to love the hell out of it. It's a blast to drive. I put as many miles on it as I could comfortably and learned lots of things. Between PA winter and whatever the new flavor of covid is, I'll have the time to work on this decent list of improvements and upgrades. This post will start to see some activity again <3. Thanks for showing love!
