The start of a restoration on a 1965 Mustang Convertible

This Mustang was owned by my father in-law. He purchased it over 40 years ago. My sister in-law drove it for awhile, and then it was parked inside the barn. My brother and Sister in-law decided it was time to get this Mustang back on the road. #Mustang #1965Mustang #Mustangs #convertible

Welcome to the Ford family. Excited to see this old pony brought back. They are well worth it.

Now you got class in your garage

My first car was a 1965 Mustang Convertible. Those inner rockers and the torque boxes, are what hold the car together. Without a hardtop, the car will collapse in the middle. Usually one will first notice the doors don't fit at the jambs. New inner rockers and torque boxes, and I would even add tie-ins to connect the front and rear sub-frames. Especially if you are going to add horsepower. (That car is really not bad. They can be much more rotted. Well worth it as a project.)

Hopefully they won't be too much a pain to replace. It appears we will need full quarters as well. They overlapped the old quarters and brazed them on.

I appreciate your motivation and drive on a project like this.
Given your success in the past I am sure this one will turn out just as well as the others!

I’m so excited for this!!!

That Mustang is actually Not that bad. Its in fairly Good shape. U could do some patch work on most of those areas, unless your father in law? wanted the entire pieces replaced?

[@torqued7601]

I did some patchwork, but several pieces had to be replaced.

Northern cars. Ick.

A damp old barn didn't help it either!
