Interactive RestoMod Mustang Restoration and
Modification. Journey through rebirth of my 66 RestoMod Mustang
Pony GT from start to finish. I have learned much along the way and
will share all that I can. I consider myself more of the
"caretaker" of this RestoMod Mustang rather than its owner.
Hopefully this site will give you many insights to consider rather
than having to do much through trial and error as I have in
building my RestoMod Mustang.

March 3, 2012:
Well, after spending the last half of February in my adopted
home town of New Orleans, its time to return to the project...
today, it was all about stripping the rear wheel wells and
cleaning up the shop to get ready to apply the epoxy primer
The stock
pulley system looked so… well, stock! And I wasn’t gonna drop a
ton on March Pulleys no matter how good they are suppose to be…
and at the same time, I’m a big fan of buying USA made products
even if they do cost a bit more…keep reading

Restomod Project #53- The AOD Neutral Safety Switch -
Making The Connection on the 1966 Mustang
The most often
asked question from the forums seems to be “which wires on the
pigtail (that plugs onto the neutral safety switch pins on the
AOD) do you wire to the terminals for the backup lights and NSS?”...

I've heard and/or read about using dumb dumb, nuts and
bolts, plastic clips and welding the hole shut. However,

Restomod Project Development - A "Pony" 6-Gauge
Instrument Bezel
Click on image for larger view
-(c) 2012 by MyRestoModMustang.Com
Currently, there aren't any Deluxe Pony Wood Grain style
6-gauge instrument bezels available. Above is the concept image
of what I along with a couple manufacturers will attempt
to make available in the next few months.
The ones that are available do
not have the chrome outlined black eyebrow that is a distinct
mark of the Mustang Pony Interior. Additionally, they are
available are flat and use incorrect type of wood grain.
If you have a pony glove box and have opted for modern 6-gauge
cluster, your choices were limited to having something that
wasn't even close to matching or had to eliminate the wood
trim. I know this does not, nor will it look original,
but with some luck and effort, hopefully we can make it look
like it belonged there. My apologies to the true
traditionalists... but, hey, remember... this is a RestoMod
after all!
Knowing nothing about how these new powerful systems
work, I was intimidated... at first. But after it was
explained to me by a young man who installs these for a
living... I realized that, once again, I over thought the
process... keep reading
