    Looks like Felony had a few more surprises for you. I’m glad you’re staying positive and moving forward with the build. So many people would take the easy way out and give up. I’ve never been to Power Tour but I think I may make the trip to meet this old girl.

    Definitely inspiring to see you just starting out with your channel, videos are great!
    Building a 68 mustang my self, metal work is pretty much done for the most part, time to start putting it back together.
    Planning to start filming and posting the build series! Needless to say I am inspired by how well your videos are put together as well!

    That's one hell of a hooey on the driver's side. Wow! That car has been roadhard and put away wet. It's typical of a lot of these old mustangs. Previous damage, people tried to hide it. When you tear these old cars apart, you definitely find it.

    Nice update Andrew. If you knew the structure had some deformation would you have purchased it or is your demeanor such that your always up for the next challenge? Felony is going to help up your game and actually the extra repair just adds to the legacy of the car! So did the car get a bit of a Tbone on the drivers side do you think?

    • @RidicULooseAutomotive
      @RidicULooseAutomotive  4 місяці тому +1

      I think it got side swiped or skidded into a wall or something. I knew something was up because of the fender shims but yea I still would have grabbed it 100% just the good times with the boys in California alone was worth the purchase

    With all due respect, dash panel cluster for a 1968 mustang...$200 to $800... Not $8k. We know what you have too. Fully restored original 1968 mustang coupe v8 can be bought for $25k. Please do your research.

      I lived 40+ years in California, and owned 100 of the rustiest cars you’ve ever seen. 😂 No salt, but a lot of salt air, moisture, and a lot of fallen organic material (leaves and stuff) to hold that moisture in. I don’t know how “California Cars” got a good reputation for being rust free. Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico; that’s where to shop. 😊

      Handled like garbage, 1 wheel peel, garbage hacked wiring and gross interior lol. Lights barely worked, overheated, and the steering has more play than a 90's arcade lol.
