My husband finally bought me a Mustang.
The only problem is that it needs everything to be completely redone. This car is what he calls a rolling chassy, I call it an eyesore :D . This 67 coupe has very little rust which is why he likes it. I have been reading these forums to try and help him, he has restored a few cars, but never a Mustang. He wants me to tell him how i want it, but I don't know exactly. He has suggested a fuel inj. 5 liter motor and trans from a mid 80's Mustang. From what I have read here that should work nicely.

I had to have surgery on my arm about a year ago and really want power steering. It seems like there are a lot of ideas about this. I want to know what the easiest way to put this on a 67 stang is? If it's too hard to do or expensive it will take forever to get done.

The other question I have is: does he really have to take the body off the frame? It seems like a lot of work to do! He wants to have the frame coated with powder or something. I would like to talk him out of this because I know it will take forever to get put back together! I want to learn more and help him so I can actually drive this thing soon. He says that it should be finished by next summer. If I don't learn some stuff about these and get verbally repetative (naggy) it will probably be summer 2010 :( .

NOPE he doesn't have to take the body off the frame, because you dont have a frame :D , the car is unibody.
 
well if he wants a fule injected 5.0 then he should go for a 89-95 mustang motor because those are the mass air type and basically have a lot smarter computer (and power steering ofcourse)... and i could be wrong but im almost positive the 67 mustang is not a body on frame design, its a unibody, with a sub frame connected to the body. btw powdercoating is a good idea because its a special type of paint that protects from rust.

is it a fastback? I'd suggest search google images for other 67's and find a color schemes, bumpers, hoods, scoops you like and try to make something like that.
 
power steering shouldn't be a biggy, my 65 came with it from the factory, it isn't as good as say a 97 expedition, but it's def better than manual steering. are you looking into a 5 speed? or automatic? if you wan't a 5 speed look into www.moderndriveline.com they have relatively cheap t5 conversion kits that include everything *but* a drive shaft.course you could always go with a toploader 4 speed or 3 speed, and it would just fit right in like it came..with the car :)
