Three Lions Garage

It’s finally spring break, which means I now have more time to spend working at the garage. Which means I now have more things to blog about. Which means I should be posting more often. Dad certainly hasn’t let me forget this. But really, there’s no excuse for the lack of communication lately, other than […]

we’ve covered a lot of ground with the Pony over the last several weeks, but we haven’t had an opportunity to bring you up to date… here are some photos to keep you going, new posts to follow soon…stay tuned…  

T-minus two and half months until deadline. We’re moving right along here at TLG, thinking about various projects simultaneously as the time ticks right on by. Lately, we’ve been communicating with the folks over at the United Auto Collision Center (a friend referred us for a paint job), who have been quite unhelpful and unaccommodating: […]

Well, Dad’s off to Europe. He and a few of his buddies decided the American auto scene didn’t offer enough panache, so they’ve been living it up at the Retromobile in Paris, France. Meanwhile, I’m stuck at home with a car to restore. In the past few days at the garage, I’ve finished grinding down […]

First post of the new year! This year I resolve to finish restoring the Mustang by my high school graduation on May 31, and if I put the pedal to the metal I might just do it. We visited the garage last night for the first time in a while (my winter break was spent […]

October and November have been somewhat slow and lonely at TLG.  Jack and I finished a thorough cleaning of the bare Mustang unibody after having stripped all the paint from the body and we acid-etched the carcass for basic metal preservation and rust prevention while we go through the next few prep steps. And that’s when Jack’s cross-country season and college applications kicked […]

With the car stripped of primer, cleaned of glass, and ready for bodywork, Dad and I took some time off to work on another important task, something that would have to be finished before we could continue any further: teaching me to weld. Dad figured that as long as I needed some metal to practice […]

because of our busy schedules, we fit the work in when we can.  This has caused us to institute the Three Lions Garage night shift.  The funny thing is…it’s our only shift lately.  As they say: “You gotta do what you gotta do”.

And just like that, we’re on the other side of the restoration. No more disassembly, no more removal, no more stripping; now, we’re putting Humpty Dumpty back together again. On Friday, Dad and I erected a small structure of aluminum poles in the garage, 20ft x 10ft x 8ft in all. While I was working […]
