After 30 years of rest it is slowly coming back. W code.
Not sure if these pics will come through?

Looks great!! I'm curious, did you fix the hood that was on the car (that had hood pins), or did you replace it?

wow, from 'barn find' to painted, that was quick! ;)
Looks great!

I just loved the looks of a B2 so much more than the B9...I've always loved the Hockey Stick stripes over the hood. ...and YELLOW actually became my favorite color on the 69-70 Bosses & Mach 1's. My first love of Mustangs actually was of a 70 B9, Grabber Blue with white interior and so when I began searching for my first car at 16, THOSE B9's, B2's & Mach's were my high-hopes. I ended up getting the 67 GTA I am restoring today instead...Good starter car for a 16 year old. I did a basic restore on it within the first year I had it. My 2nd Mustang restore at 18 years old was a '67 fastback (junkyard find in '79) that was painted this same yellow with black '68 GT stripes louver black-outs & flat '67 hood. I bought it wrecked & stripped bown,(no engine & all remaining good front sheet metal was unbolted or cut off, towers forwards) I began the "restore" by installing a 302 J-code, toploader 4 speed conversion & using a Mach 1 hood scoop I did a hood black-out on raised area of the hood and also use '68 fenders (I removed the front side lights from them) and then installed a perfect woodgrain dash from the '68 XR7 donor parts car I had gotten the J-code out of...It looked ALMOST as sweet as your yellow B2 looks! (I'm still LOVE the B2's & 9's) TOTAL OUT OF POCKET COST TO BUILD WHAT IS PICTURED BELOW in 1979...about $830 US! (now my dad & I had bought the salvage yard this Mustang body is pictured in front of & the "stripped" body was I guess "not free" but I paid nothing extra to "aquire" it.)
... That is when I fell in love with this color of YELLOW... LOOKING GREAT!!
btw, I SOLD this yellow '67 for something like $2,200 in 1981...Still kicking myself :( ;D

The original hood was plug welded. The previous owner liked the 69 hood pins.

I had a 67 GT myself at one time. Looks good in Yellow. Yellow in the B2 is my favorite color although it hard to go wrong with any factory color.
It took a little over a year to get to where it is and probably another year to finish.
thanks guys.
