Three Lions Garage

Jack and I just returned from the garage (at 12:30 a.m.) after a very productive day installing the sub-frame connectors from Total Control Products which are specifically designed to fit the 1969 Mustang fastback.  Jack spent about 10 hours on the car today while I had the easier shift (starting at approx 5:30pm).  We had already […]

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…  

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 […]

I would have liked to finish my restoration project by January 7, 2013 (the last day of winter vacation), but that’s simply not going to happen. Between cross country practices and meets, school work, college applications and essays, it’s a minor miracle that I still find time for optional items like a decent nights sleep or […]

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”.
