Mustang

We ended up having to give our daughter the mustang for her birthday instead of graduation. She got to drive it home. She loves it and is looking forward to helping restore it. She is used to power everything so it was quite a task to not have anything electric, especially the steering. She did great though! Of course mom was following right behind her!

First things we have to do is replace the radiator, then change the shifter due to the shifter in it isn't the original. It is hard to shift right now.

I guess it helps a lot when your husband is mechanical and also can do the electrical work too.

Mother's Day Diabetic Bracelet

Decided at 5am this morning today to make a friend another Diabetic chainmaille bracelet for Mother's Day. She has grown boys but I don't think they are in a position to be able to get her anything for her special day. She is one of those people like me who do for others, not ourselves.

This will be the 4th one I have made her. Didn't really care for the 2 of them that I had made out of split rings so they would hold up better.

"67" Mustang

From the time I was a teenager I always dreamed of owning a 65/67 Mustang, didn't matter what year it was, I just wanted one. Sad to say that was a dream that never came to light for me.

Fast forward 30+ years, I finally own one! Not for me though, for our daughter. Just being able to restore one to it's original beauty and being able to present it to our daughter for graduation next year fulfills my dream of actually owning one.

It actually needs a lot more work done to it then we originally thought it would but that will be the fun of restoring it.

We have been ordering parts books, internet surfing and finding the original reproduction parts we will need.

I will be blogging about it as we go, so stay tuned!

Not a very good photo, came from my cell!
