Joe Ruggirello, Gapp and Roush Mustang II

Hot Damn! With all the exposure and buzz of the "New" Mustang all week I'm even more tickled to see this! Dare I say it's BEAUTIFUL! :) The paint color is fantastic. What's the story, is that a "Factory" or "original" color? Is it metallic? Looks silver but a cool silver. I like it.

Well done.

Its the factory original color. It is metallic also.

Funny, the build date of this car (per the Marti report) is actually April 17, 1975...same month/day as the intro of the mustang in '64.
 
Oh, wow ! ! !
It's looking fantastic, Tom.
Glad you were able to get the front clip back on. If you did it in a morning, guessing that it went well ?
The car's just looking so right.
Can't wait to see the bumpers back on.
Beautiful work.

Front bumper installed. This was tougher than expected, but we got it aligned even better than it was originally.

Was going to take it out yesterday for some photos, but the new Holley fuel regulator started leaking. Had to order a kit for it.

Hoping to get some this coming weekend. Weather supposed to be nice.
 
Sorry to hear about the fuel leak :(

Looking forward to the photos. Hope the weather will be very nice ! ! !
