Hi all!

Long time viewer, first time joining a forum. I have a 1969 Mustang Convertible that I've been restoring now for 5 years. Been doing a lot of upgrades all around the car. Just recently converted the tranny to a T5z 5 speed and reupholstered the seats using Fiero bucket seats with built in speaker headrests.

Now I'm planning to swap the old 302 for a 347 stroker. Hope you guys can help me with technical issues because I seem to encounter a lot of wierd crap I've need experienced before

Thanks!

Jim

Welcome to stangnet Jim.

Very nice mustang brother, good job on the restoration.

Snoop around the Classic subforums, you'll get plenty help from the guys there.

Post more pictures of your car, we'd love to see more of it.

Thanks. I appreciate the feedback. Here's a few more photos (hope I uploaded this right). I'm especially proud of the seat reupholster using Fiero bucket seats that have the speakers built into the headrest. It was a fun and easy project and they turned out really nice.
