    1966 restoration / resto-mod

    The exhaust is lower than I would like, however, the pic is in the grass so it does make it appear a little lower than it is. The exhaust is also just attached to the headers right now, with no brackets. When the brackets are installed it will raise about another 1/2 in inch. The real...

    1966 restoration / resto-mod

    I have the same basic opinion on black cars. It is a love or hate thing with me. I would have never painted it black unless I was going to go with the GT350 take-offs and the stripes. They do not show up in the photos as much as they do in person. They don't stand out but have the affect...

    Thanks for the comments. It has been a long time coming and I am ready to start enjoying it for sure. I have to change the front tires and its go time. The 235x50x17's that are on there rub on the drivers side. I ordered up some 225x45's and I should be alright.

    1966 restoration / resto-mod

    I originally gave the car to him to do the paint/body, glass, and wiring... After getting to know him and seeing the work, it just kept going from there. Eventually a turnkey complete retoration. I had the same opinion as you.. restomod while retaining the factory lines. I certainly...

    Should be done this weekend.... Going up there Saturday. Fired it up today. Sounded really nasty over the phone. Just the exhaust install and a few other details and she is done. Shoot me some dates and locations of the shows. I plan to go to as many as I can. Look forward to meeting...

    Price range for '66 GT

    If it is numbers matching and "solid" then the asking price is appropriate... even on the good side considering the "2nd Owner" status.. again only if that is accurate. But man, that red interior just kills me..

    Introducing myself

    Looks like you found a very clean car there. Good luck with the resto and the mods that you choose to do. Gotta support the fellow coupes. I can understand the above post in regards to keeping the car original and stock because it is in such good shape. However, the great thing about the...

    Just an example of the quality of the work and the restoration, this is a pick of the heater / defroster box parts laid out before re-installing. [/IMG] Here is a shot of the heater / defroster installed. Mind you, this is stuff you will never see unless you stick your head up under the...

    1966 restoration / resto-mod

    Thanks again for the positive remarks... the car does need and gets a thorough buffing upon completion... including the engine. Do it now and it just needs it again. The final product / pics will be minus the water and dust marks on the valve covers for sure. Cant wait to wrap this up and...

    South FL Shops??

    Willie at Lujan performance is the guy / place. Quality work, fair prices, and a really good guy with a ton of knowledge. In house dyno... fabricates turbos, builds engines, installs nitrous, tunes, suspension work, etc...etc. All about the go fast stuff. If you want to come South (by...

    1966 restoration / resto-mod

    This is a terrible picture but will post anyway. I used hood pins from a 2010 Shelby GT.. Black billet, and they look great on the car. Again, the pic sucks...sorry. [/IMG] Had to have custom headers fabricated. Found this out when I tried to bolt the headers up to the TFS "hig port"...

    Thanks for the remarks. With the exception of the engine build, Brian Thomas of Palm Beach Mustangs did all of the work. I will have a lot more pics once I get the cd from him. These are all pics that he has either e-mailed me or that I took from some of my visits while the project was going...

    Been working on a project for about the last 6 years. Finally finishing this thing up and thought I would post some pics for those who are interested. Brief history of the car. Original 289, 2bbl, c-4, that my mother bought new in 1966 from Coral Gables Ford here in Miami. She gifted it...
