The Project - It Begins...

The Mustang, sprung from its tomb, is now - finally - on the road to...somewhere..

Current Project Cost: $0.00

Plus: U-Haul Rental

Issue 1: Lights on the U-Haul trailer didn't work; no power from the - also U-Haul - truck..

Issue 2: I left the test light - I've had for like 40 years - Attached to the U-Haul trailer....like a Fucking Idiot.

Shit.

Update: 5:00pm; same day - The test light survived, but has now been "willed" to Will - Somewhere around Lake City. Where he swapped trucks to get working trailer lights. So technically something went right (ish...) this is to be construed as a good sign.

Work with me People... It's been a rough decade - or two - for the patient...and I suck at being positive.

Made it to Destination - After Slightly Over a 9 Hour Drive.

 

End of day 2 - New home, shoes off, and relaxing...

 

Somewhere in February-ish 2026

It Snowed in Florida.

 

March 2026

Mustang now has wheels, and a partial light temporary coat of please stop rusting..

Quick walkaround of what's left of it.

 

However, while progress has been made, it now must be put on hold. Because the shop
that it is supposed to be built in, does not - as of yet - even exist!

So... Gotta build the damn workshop first!

 

Had to stick it somewhere to get it out of its own way, so it's now hiding on th porch.

 

 

Someone is ready for - to cause - trouble.

 

How many pipes go how far?

 

Yep, that far.

 

Soon to be new 1,500sq. ft. home of Mustang.

 

Driveway had to be wider also.
