    Great work, Steve, as always. Would really love to see the electrical issues addressed and the engines tuned so that this Mustang can go back in the road.

    Nice mustang, but not a Factory GT, rather C code 2bbl 289 with reproduction pieces added to replicate a GT.

    Great video and awesome Stang. Can you please update us on this car? Thank you.

    I'm going to be especially interested in the rag top install. Great content Steve.

    What a lovely car. Nice to see it approaching being finished.

    Hilarious! Chevy (Delco) is one of the few if not only companies that makes a battery that fits the old Mustangs and other Fords LOL.

    It's certainly been restored to a high level and it's a pity that the previous owner couldn't finish it . Have a good Christmas Steve . Hopefully you won't be spending it trapped in the garage ! Although there could be worse places to be snow bound !!

    Really nice touches. As far as the battery goes, I have seen in the past where I believe there’s a company that makes reproduction batteries based on what type and model of your car you had. Seems the one that I saw was on a GTO. Merry Christmas Steve & Happy New Years to you, your family, friends, and colleagues. See you in the next installment.

      Yes I could have bought an Autolite reproduction battery but they are twice the cost of a normal battery and have a terrible reputation if you try to use them in a street driven car and not just for shows.

      You are right, they can be crazy expensive.

    we used to use a piece of angled and drilled metal (Dexion) and long bolts to fit any undersized battery,but as long as you can find the correct battery,keep on truckin'. love all your videos!!!

    Gosh this is a beautiful car, I wish it was mine (after you've finished working your Steve magic on it, of course!)

    I'm learning a few things about cars. Details like factory stickers give depth to the vintage car.

    Are you going to sell the car when you are done with the fixes? Just curious.

  • @stephenricketts7764
    @stephenricketts7764 ปีที่แล้ว

    I am so glad that the car drives and more importantly stops! It is great that you found a battery that fits too. There are companies that rebuild batteries and convert them to 'Gel' here in the UK. I have no idea of their reputation just someone mentioned that to me.Obviously that is no help to you but as a last resort that could have been an option to find someone in the USA who does the same. This video is well timed for Christmas, something positive at the end of the year. Once again a Merry Christmas to you Steve and to Cassi .👍👍

    Beautiful car. She's in good hands. At least it will be finished instead of decaying into barn find status again. Thanks for sharing

    Down here in OZ the temperature is steadily climbing towards 30degrees Celsius. Not sure what that is in Fahrenheit. I have never seen a blizzard and I don't think I want to. All the best and thank you for your excellent posts.

      Easy to remember 28c is 82f….close enough then to work out roughly that 30c approx 86f

      @@ThisWeekWithCars I was being kind of cheeky, I figured that you would have the sense to keep it inside; I have to say that is a very nice car.
