It's 201 miles, googe maps! I'll do it someday, just not this year.

turningpoint Sorry I've been crazy bust trying to figure out everything lately. I am going to look and see if I can get them this weekend or possibly the next. I also wanted too look at that Tahoe too when I'm down there as I might purchase that for a parts boat. Have you looked at it all ? Was wondering the condition of the trailer to make it back to MI. I will let you know ASAP on those side panels when I have better concrete times.

After looking at these green ones I'll take one?
Did any one pick that one up in the Cincinnati area?

dochockey I am hoping to head down there ether this weekend or the following to take a look at it. I do have a few extra pictures at home of it that Mike sent me but it needs a ton of work on really only good for parts.

So it's been a busy couple of months but the boat is back in MI finally. I had to head to work in Ohio for the next three days but will hopefully be back in MI this weekend to work on it. I'm going to clean the oxidation off a bit, I did a spot with wax and looks much darker then I originally thought (sea foam). The MC number I am pretty certain was MC 1819. It originally came with a foot panel so I'm on the look out for one of those, so if any of you know a lead on one please let me know, thank you.

Crabman i love your boat and I respect your skill set in seeking out and bringing home something you really want. Must feel good!

Congratulations on pulling it all off. That was quite a trip to make but it is a cool boat. As far as the color, varying light, oxidation, and the inconsistencies of computer screens makes color judgements hard. This isn't the first time color has been undecided. But based on the one with the good coat of rain, it appears to be turquois. If you haven't seen it yet, check out the color wheel in the 66 brochure in the reference section. That makes the boat just that much rarer and cooler as sea foam was very common. Good luck with the project.

Yep, thats no seafoam... teal/turqoise for sure.

Get a better picture of the entire motorbox... that one shot makes it look like the typical glass box used over the narrower V8's pre-1970. That bump out in the front is something I havent seen before though... normally it is flat. Anything on the front of that 4cyl motor that would necessitate that bump out?

Here's a few updated pictures of the resto, the deck had a few more spider cracks then I would have liked but can't complain too much. The sides I thought turned out very well. Still have to do the other side though.

Looks great.

Jonathan,
I somehow missed this thread lately! That hull sure came out looking great.

Are you still in need of help with the Zenith updraft?

You could try here for carb parts. How about some pictures of your floor? I suppose back then you just had a plywood floor,I don't think the pans came until later.

My 64 American Skier with the same engine had a grey painted plywood floor with no foam. So that should be easy for you to do. I think back then foam was optional

With what you guy's have done with your Dads Mustang I'm sure you will have no problem John. By the way I went back and saw your floor pic's in the beginning.

You dont want or need a donor boat for the interior, unless youre talking about the fiberglass stern seat base? I am not sure those were used on the early Mustangs though.

Prior to late '68 (or early '69), the front seats were built using wood frames. The plans for them are on the site somewhere.
