- The Mustang body will be in the first priming and block-sanding stage (of two total)
- In the Haynes shop (you can watch during business hours via the Live Project 50 Mustang Garage Cam), the Project 50 team will be disassembling and polishing chrome and stainless steel body parts
- Also in the Haynes shop, we will be overhauling the automatic transmission
Haynes Project 50 Blog is an area where you can speak directly to the Haynes team that is working on the Mustang restoration. You can ask them questions or leave them comments about the project. The Haynes team will be announcing news and coming events in the blog to keep you updated on the restoration schedule. As is usually the case with a project such as this, there will be some bumps in the road to the fully restored '65 Mustang convertible. So, follow along with Haynes' progress and you can be part of the team!

Project 50 Activities for the weeks of January 3rd and 10th, 2011
Hello Project 50 Fans and Happy New Year! The Haynes Project 50 Team is making great progress on the restoration of the 1965 Mustang. Activities for the this week and next are the following:
- The Mustang body is in the shop getting final preparations for the primer. Priming will be completed next week.
- Suspension parts are being cleaned and will go out for powder coating shortly.
- The Mustang engine is being re-assembled in our garage (see the Project 50 Live Mustang Garage Cam on this blog page to see LIVE work being done). The P50 Team is using new bearings, rings, pistons, camshaft, lifters and oil pump along with reconditioned connecting rods and crankshaft. The engine block has been bored and decked. And the cylinder heads have been reconditioned too.
