Just the Details...1965 Mustang Convertible

Wow!  This '65 Mustang Convertible is starting to really come together.
www.VirginiaClassicMustang.com

Today, we have some more images of the '65 Mustang Convertible that Jeremy at Maple Hill Restoration (www.MapleHillResto.com) has been restoring.  Again, it's a Twilight Turquoise (beautiful color, by the way) convertible with a 200 six cylinder engine, Dagenham 4 speed transmission, Air Conditioning, Console, Rally Pac, and White interior.

As it goes together, it is now over the pit, and we were able to shoot some images of some of the incredible detail.

I'll make one comment about the underside color before anyone asks. :)  The original black finish was duplicated here, and it is a rather glossy black.  We have found this on most Dearborn built Mustangs in the 1964-early 1965 production time (may have been used at other times also).

Nice detail on the six cylinder Mustang idler arm.

Sealer was duplicated exactly on the inside of the rocker at the floor pan.

As we continue to share pictures of Jeremy Turner's (www.MapleHillResto.com) 1965 Mustang Convertible, we have gotten a ton of questions about the "roll around" that he built for the front end of the Mustang.  Well, here are some pictures to give you an idea of what he built.  It works perfectly!!
