Another "Carona" build done! '69 Mustang, 427CI, most everything scratch built. This would be reminiscent of early, mid, 70's in southeasten Wisconsin. Hope everyone likes it. Rett

...Another great looking Mustang build :)  What kind of orders/restrictions are you dealing with where you live?  Just asking as it is quite obvious that you have put your "staying at home" time to good use.
The only heroes in Washington are buried just outside of it in Arlington

Pretty much the same as most everyone else. Stay home as much as possible, wear gloves and masks when we do go out. Social distancing, etc. My wife has some lung and heart problems so she really stays in. We do hop on my Harley and go for a ride once in a while, don't meet people, just head near a body of water or something like that. We play 500 Rummy every day, two out of three, she's got me down 50 games to 37!!!! Hardest part is not seeing grandkids or my daughter.

Great job Rett.  I have seen many cars like this run at Capital Speedway in the late 60's early 70's before joining the Air Force.  Great job.

Thanks man. Most of my fantasy cars are influenced by that era. I guess 'cause that's when I raced. Managed to race Capitol a couple times in '72. Didn't win, but ran strong. But then, I was running mostly a dirt car set. Used up a couple of sets of tires, lol. Loved running there, big difference from 1/4 and 1/3 dirt!!

Really nice clean build. Looks very period correct.
