ArtS Posted September 28, 2008 Author Report Posted September 28, 2008 Good lookin' happy family! My best buddy had a Mustang almost just like that in high school. I loved it. His was a 1966 so that is my guess. I like that color too. His was pretty rusty though. The only part of the trunk not rusted out was under the spare tire - barely. One side of the back seat floor only had carpet - no steel under it. LOL Art Quote Art Schwab "You cannot teach a man anything. You can only help him discover it within himself." – Galileo Galilei

Members wildrose Posted September 28, 2008 Members Report Posted September 28, 2008 Thanks! I've been enjoying all the pics and comments. It's great putting faces to names. You're right, it's a 1966. I first had a '67, for college graduation, but it turned out to be too rusted for repair at that time (I don't have a supportive husband for this - he HATES the car), so we sold that one. I think Dad kinda felt bad, so when he saw this one at a neighbor's, and the plate said "HOLLY"...well, he pestered the guy into finally selling it. Any Mustang pre-69 is pretty much my dream car. Here are pics BEFORE I got it painted: Tim's been after me to sell this one too, actually! But I've got support from Ethan, who adores it - he pets it and says "hot rod, hot rod"...gotta love that!

ArtS Posted September 28, 2008 Author Report Posted September 28, 2008 I expected Lederhosen Don - not Deadwood. My brother and I both had a pair of lederhosen when we were young.

ArtS Posted September 28, 2008 Author Report Posted September 28, 2008 No, don't sell it! When you get one that nice you have to keep it. My buddy's had the muffler pipes coming our of two holes in the panel under the bumper. It came from the factory like that and I always thought that was cool looking.

Members 8thsinner Posted September 28, 2008 Members Report Posted September 28, 2008 Yes art, the katana is 29.5 inches, a little over my size unless I improve my posture a bit, it looks considerably longer though cause of the saya being 3 inches longer than blade.. As for the coat yes, I made that one myself, over six months when I worked for honour on my lunch hours.. first ever coat and lasted over 6yrs so far. So many hidden pockets in the thing, but heres a few pics I took earlier this year... Quote Doing the right thing is bleeding for the cause. Website Facebook
ArtS Posted September 28, 2008 Author Report Posted September 28, 2008 That really looks good. I would love to make my own jacket some day. Is it very hard to put a lining in one?

Members 8thsinner Posted September 28, 2008 Members Report Posted September 28, 2008 If you have a machine that does the leather it won't be a problem. The hardest thing for me was getting the size of the lining right, which I didn't quite get perfect, theres also a few pieces where the machine slipped and I lost a few stitches but other than that, the pattern to begin with is a pain in the ass, especially if your working from scratch... And not that you can really see it but the lining along the bottom was loose and I used press studs to close it to the leather, for the simple reason of being able to get access to the inside..(theres a headphone tunnel which comes out just behind the left shoulder blade but a bit higher which leads in from the inside left breast pocket) My advice would be go to a charity/thrift shop get an old one and take it apart for a pattern, Thats what I would do now if I didn't have this one as a basic. But thank you for the compliments on the design, it's my proudest piece yet probably, and every one wants me to make them one...Wish I had a machine to do that now...
