    Extremely Beat 68 Fast Back

    Maybe my current project has toughened my skin a little but looks like a good platform to start with. Only problem is since he is paying you to do it. Seems like a Dynacorn full body would be more cost effecient for your customer.

    Which Rockers Should I Get?

    Thanks for the heads up. The GT40s spec say they can work with stock pushrods (non hardened) - I'll try and if I bend it I will look at the wheel kit. Seems like there is a lot to putting a set of rockers on. Hope the money saving I think I will be getting from buying a crate become worth it...

    Coyote in a 70 Fastback

    I've got a 2007 GT along with the 70 with 347 stroker. The 2007 puts out about 300 hp same as new 6. It feels kind of anemic after driving the 70. I would have to go with a v8 in a new one.

    Looking at motor what do you think?

    I ended up low balling the seller. Motor was not exactly what I was planning to do. I doubt he will go for the $3k I offered but it has to be a little difficult privately selling a motor. We will see. Thanks for the posts.

    body panels?

    +1 On Ford tooling fenders. Have repros on my 1970 - fit okay but material lot thinner. On the 66 I went ford tooling good fit and thickness. Worth the money. Wish I would have changed my 70's out before I spent $5k on a paint job.
