Lonny Dubay wanted his '64½ convertible restored right - so he did it himself (http://www.highperformancestangs.com/featuredvehicles/mump_090126_1964_mustang_convertible/index.html)We'd have to say that Lonny Dubay was understating things a bit when he described the "before" condition of his '64½ convertible as "needing help." The photos taken when Lonny hauled the forlorn Mustang out of his father's storage yard reveal what Lonny started with - to some, the car would be best described as a prime candidate for the scrap yard or crusher. The Poppy Red paint was faded. The convertible top was ripped in numerous places, allowing rain, leaves, and debris into the interior. Nearly every body panel showed signs of rust or denting. The tires were flat, the chrome was pitted and twisted, and the upholstery was literally falling apart. The car needed more than help.
