Engine Rebuild by JGM

October 27, 2015October 28, 2015 by Andrew Wallace

June 2015 – Engine Rebuild by JGM I caught some flack from some of my buddies at the ADM for not tackling the rebuild of my engine myself, but my general feeling is that since I’m deviating from stock, it’s best to leave this in the hands of the experts.  I could, and probably will … Read moreEngine Rebuild by JGM

Reproduction Door Fail

October 27, 2015October 27, 2015 by Andrew Wallace
replacing reproduction door with oem door

May 2015 – Reproduction Door Fit As I mentioned in passing yesterday, the reproduction door I bought to replace the dented-in-multiple-places original passenger door didn’t quite fit like we wanted it to. Actually, that’s an understatement. Bill struggled for 2 hours to get it on and lined up, with no real success. Even at the … Read moreReproduction Door Fail

May 2015 – Rear Quarter Replacement As I’d mentioned, the left rear quarter panel needed to be replaced, so I made a trip up to National Parts Depot in Ventura to pick one up.  Of course, I couldn’t resist the temptation to buy a GT rear valance panel while I was there, as well as … Read moreRear Quarter Replacement

Tremec T5 before rebuild

May 2015 – Rebuilding the Tremec T5 Modern Driveline has already saved me a ton of time in dealing with my Tremec T5.  Not only do they stock everything you need to do a complete 5-speed conversion, they also have some of the best prices around.  When I ordered up the conversion kit, I asked … Read moreTremec T5 Transmission Rebuild

Disgustang bodywork begins

May 25, 2015 – Bodywork has already begun After traffic subsided, I drove out to San Gabriel to drop off the rest of the panels.  Bodywork has begun!  I was impressed to see that Bill had not only already covered the entire shell in primer, inside and out, but he had also undercoated the chassis … Read moreBodywork has Begun

May 23, 2015 – The rest of the panels finish at the blasters I drove down to National Sandblasters the day after we picked up the car shell itself to grab the rest of the panels, which weren’t quite done when we retrieved the shell.  Bill the body man wasn’t at the shop on Saturday, … Read moreOther Panels Return from Blasters

May 22, 2015 – A better (standard bore) block… After dropping the car off at the body shop, we headed back to drop off Mark’s truck and trailer.  Just before we pulled up, I found a Craigslist listing for a standard bore block in City of Industry.  I called, it was available, and we decided … Read moreStandard Bore Block

May 22, 2015 – Disgustang heads to paint Another major milestone!  It’s been two weeks, and this morning the Disgustang left the blasters and headed to Bill the body man to begin the paint and bodywork process.

About

I'm Andrew C. Wallace, and my goal was to take a year to transform my disgusting 1966 Mustang (the "Disgustang") into an awesome daily driver. Well, a year came and went. The three-year mark is about to elapse. And I've still got a lot to do! I don't know what I'm doing, but why should that stop me?
