This was a customer restoration that I did at work last year. The car has a neat history, it was sold new at Jack Bryne Ford in mechanicsville NY in 1968 and was local its whole life. The customer had bought it at an estate sale in pretty bad shape. It was not running, the under dash harness had caught fire at some point or another. In addition the car was taken apart and in many boxes. However it was a real GT500 and did have the original 428 big block/ 4 speed.

Day 1 November 2011

after completely dissembling the car, I found that the car was in need of extensive rust repair. So after putting it up on a rotisserie, the entire bottom was sandblasted. Then I replaced the following parts with new metal.

-Front floors  
-complete inner rockers  
-front torque boxes  
-patched the front frame rail  
-patched the lower shock tower  
-replaced the battery apron  
-patched the upper inner fenders  
-replaced the drivers side B pillar  
-re skinned the doors  
-took off the original quarters and saved them, re welded them after wheel tubs were replaced.  
-inner and outer wheel tubs  
-trunk drop offs  
-center trunk floor

after all of the sheet metal work

once that was done the car was sealed in red epoxy primer like ford did (red oxide)

![http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/2403/56118910150897826885974.jpg](http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/2403/56118910150897826885974.jpg)

Once that was done all of the suspension components were sand blasted and redone in the correct finish.

Once that was done the car was taken off the rotisserie so the car could be put on the ground so the body panels could be fitted.

The bodywork was done and the car was then painted in the original candyapple red.

The engine bay was painted the correct black and continued the re assembly.

While all of this had been going on the motor was sent out and completely rebuilt to factory specs.

I had also taken the time between bodywork and rebuilt the transmission

The interior was redone as well.

The car was then sent out to get a new white top put on.

once it was back I did the final polishing on the paint, I must say I was very proud of it, my best paintjob to date!

This car should be worth around 125,000. Its not a GT500KR (68 was the first year for that) Its worth right about what my car is actually. 68 isnt as desirable as 67.
