I just figured I would give those of you who remeber me an update on how things have been in the past year. As some of you might rember about two years ago I was planning on selling my 67 so I could get a more reliable car. Well two years latter I still have the old girl, just bought my first house and was lucky enough to find a job where I was given a company car. Thank you to all of you who tried to talk some sense into me when I was thinking about selling her.

O ya, I was also talking about getting married then to, no offical date yet but were looking at 2 years from last month.

Just wanted to give you guys and update and say thanks you guys are a great bunch. Hope I dont drive every one insane with my questions.

I plan to, I havent had the mustang out in so long it hurts. I just went and got her insured and should have plates again soon. Really want to get started on the new engine its just going to take me a long time, money's tight and my girlfriend would kill me if I bought an engine block before I bought her engagement ring.

well since you have been away i've gotten mine running again and it is now at the body shop getting a complete paint job inside and out, acapulco blue with blackout hood, headlight buckets and taillight panel (ala boss 302). i have most of the interior parts in the garage ready to go back in and also a complete new suspension in the garage as well. i got lucky with the body work, the car actually needed less work than we were thinking and they only had to do one patch panel on the lower rear passenger quarter. hopefully it will be done by the end of the month

Awsome man you have to post some pictures when whe is all done. I should probably look into new suspension too im still riding on stock leafs. I just wen last night to do some work on the stang and now I feel bad. I let it sit this past year untouched so now im having some trouble getting her started. Im going back tonight and im gonna pull every wire and re-run them so they are hidden right now my engine looks like a snake pit because my spark plug wires are to short. Hopefully I can get her running tonight and get the engine looking nice and neat. To bad its raining and I wont be driving her tonight.
