Topic: Video of early '65 K Convertible Restoration Progress

Double checked my stuff and did find a couple of lighter shaded red cars in the June -early July period. Not sure why the variation from the typical dark muddy red we are use to seeing.

June -early July examples from San Jose





Late July - back to the more typical

More evidence of the "pink" undercarriage primer found on SJ cars from July/Aug. of 65.  First one is a 65 6 cyl. with a scheduled build of Aug. 03, 1965 and the second one is an unknown scheduled date due to no door tag.

Most of the wiring is installed.  Heater box is now actually in the car.  The rear part of the car is getting there-rear end assembly, leaf springs, rear valance, although some of this stuff is not shown in this particular post.

The doors are on, most of the wiring is in, and several other items installed.  Loading the doors with the window parts and glass is next.

Does the wiper motor in this picture have over-spray from the dash?

Just as an observations - never found a pink mark on the end of an upper early A arm except for service replacement arms - have plenty of those.

Looks like your having allot of fun - keep us posted

Good eye, Jeff.  We have already removed it!!  As you mention, I have only seen it on a service replacement part.

I just posted several more pictures on the Blog of our 289 HiPo Mustang Convertible.  The dash is pretty much together, and the engine and transmission will be going in soon.
