65 Fastback Progress

[347Fastback]

Well, lately I have very busy on my car. I am trying to stay very focused. I added wheels with help from Dodge and I replaced the complete front suspension. I also had my friend to help me smooth out the dash so I do not have to use a dash pad.... Now this was fun.... Here are a couple pics...

How much have you spent on your project? Did you do the most of the work yourself?

 

[347Fastback]

I purchased the car for $5000.00. It was running but the 4spd was toast. I swapped in a T-5 with the mustang steve conversion kit. I do most of my work with help from my friends. I figure there is no better way to get right than do it yourself. I have spent about $4000.00 on the car but it has been worth every penny. People stop by and ask me questions all the time about the car. I plan to finish her with a new 347 and G-force tranny. I already purchased my 347, just waiting on G- force funds. I also want to buy the new global west setup... Money pit...

[one2gamble]

that is a pretty slick idea on the dash, let us know

I will post the dash project when I finish, hopefully it will be done next weekend... I bought a airbrush gun to paint the dash when I get her all smooth...

Nice Car!

I have a 1967 Mustang Fastback that I just started restoreing. I'm changing all the springs and shocks now. I have a 351C ready to drop in as soon as I finish. After seeing your car I hav something to shoot for.

Guys,

I am going to build a site now just to document my projects on my car. The dash is coming along... I am in the military and we have a inspection this week so I have been busy...
