Greetings all. I have a 1966 Mustang, 289, with 3-speed transmission. It has been sitting in a garage for over 30 years and now it's time to try to get it back on the road. I've already learned a lot with the little bit I have done, but there is oh so much more to learn and do.
My approach is somewhat of a restomod - somewhere between a concours and a full tweaked-out car. I want to keep things fairly true to the way it came off the assembly line, but with modernization where necessary/appropriate. For instance, I have installed front disc brakes and replaced the original power steering with a Borgeson steering box. I look forward to interaction on the forum.

The car is parked in a cramped garage without the ability to roll it out (right now). And, it isn't that good looking. So, right now, I have no pictures other that some of the guts/details of what I have been working on.
