Oh, I still plan on using them, I just haven't done anything with the '65 coupe either. Next new car payment is mine, and instead of getting a new car, I plan on driving my old crap and applying the $500/month towards the Mustang and Fairlane. Over 6 years thats 36k, insurance won't go up because of a new car and I'll finally be able to play. The paint and body on the Mustang will probably cost $3k amd the rest, about $7k, I have a built 300hp 302 with 351w heads sitting on a stand or I may put the 289 that came out of it back together unless I find out it's not original. It'll have a toploader (still have to source) and A/C and I've got a '57 9" to go into it. I'll likely pick up someone's used 16x7 TT2's that they can no longer stand because everyone else has them, I think I've only seen two sets locally on the street, one on a '65-'66 fastback and the other set on a late model Camaro. My car is a factory front disc car and I think I'll just stay drum in the rear.
The Fairlane is a whole different animal, the paint and body won't cost as much I don't think, $2k probably, but the chromoly cage, subframe connectors, sheet metal 9" housing, tubular front control arms, ladder bars, coil overs (front and rear) are likely to be about $12k alone, not to mention the $3k Jerico DR4 4-speed tranny, $2k in clutch, pressure plate and bellhousing (already have aluminum flywheel) and probably $18k in the 800hp FE, and all the various other little bits and pieces.
