Not everything is going to be restored using new parts. So far, I've sourced many used auto parts for the front and rear bumpers, front valence, grille, horse and corral.And I know, I know, I see the rust too.... Don't worry, everything else you see here was sanded down to bare metal, before the epoxy primer was sprayed. New Classic Mustang PartsWhen I found this car, it was a long ago started and abandoned restoration project. Most of the major parts were there, but a lot of the little stuff was missing, like hardware, front valance bolts, the grille bracket and more.Restoration TemplateI wish I could say that these few restoration parts are all I need, but this is really just the start of all the new parts that it will take to put this coupe back on the road.I'd also like to say that there's a template that you can use, to decide the order that you do things, but the reality is that it depends on what you see when you buy your mustang, and sometimes, what you are waiting to receive or parts that you've had to send out for cleaning or repairs. We'll jump into some of the bodywork and autobody repairs that need to be done on my
