1969 Ford Mustang Project In 2010

It's been a while since I've updated my Mustang section in fact I believe it's been over a year or more. I have several pages and looked around quickly and as best I can tell I haven't updated it. The Mustang project got pushed to the back while pursuing my home building, getting married and kid having goals. However it's always hiding in my mind and waiting for when that home building project is over which should be mid 2011.

My current home is very lacking in space and in fact I've had to relocate much of my shop and Mustang parts to my father's house some 20 miles away. Eventually the whole car will be over there for keeping while we sell our current home and build our new home. Eventually I'll role her to our new place where I'll have a new garage geared towards projects such as car restoration.

Most importantly I'll never give up on the project. I've carried it around for 15 years now so what's another 10 right? It's tough but I don't want to be one of those guys in their 50's who talks about the cool old project car they sold that they wish they'd kept. I do however understand the feeling some get when they go out and look at it taking up space and think about just getting it out of sight. Like most things an old car is a love/hate relationship for a lot of people. Fortunately I fall more to the love side with my project car.
