Welcome to Stangnet!
Car doesn't look too bad at all, worst part looks to be the interior and judging by all the parts you have lying around it won't be that way for long!

I wish mine was that nice when I was 16. Congrats, welcome to the board.

I'd say its a good looking project car... Welcome to the boards

Thanks guys, yea those pictures make my car look real good, but when you get closer it looks a lot worse, i got most of the interior stripped out yesterday, its got a little rust in the floorboards, then im gonna paint it. i'm out of school this week for spring break, so ill get to work on it a lot

I wouldv'e loved to have a car like that when I was 16! Also, I have yet to own a car that didn't look better in pictures than in person, so I wouldn't feel too bad about that!

I'm 15, restoring my car early so it will be ready this summer when i get my liscence. I have a 66 but its only got a 200, your lucky to have a 302, i'm waiting a few years to save up some money for hopefully a 351. We just got done with our floorpans, welding them in oursleves and replacing the tail panel. Next plan is to get the dents out in the roof and get a gt350 hood, strip the paint then get it repainted. Then after that all interior work. Good luck!

out of curiousity, is there a way to give your cardomain site more publicity? No one sees mine And I'm an attention-whore. So this is actually a problem.

Looks pretty good. I had the same exhaust setup for a while. Do you have pipes at all, or did you just bolt the mufflers to the headers like me? haha. Do you have any hearing left?

 

[blueoval66]

yea i just bolted the mufflers to the headers, here soon im buying a couple of single chamber flowmasters from one of my friends that he took off his 69 torino, when i get them im gonna run the exhaust out the back
