sorry for the last couple images being blurry...

You guys can see the bodywork that went into it... The car was sodablasted inside and out, new pans, POR15 inside and out... all new interior, fresh motor, new clutch, rebuilt carb, new gastank, new fuel lines, brakes lines, brakes.. Full rebuilt front suspension. Its going to be a full rotisserie restored mach.

not a ton of options...but a great car.

Nice work.

I/we (my buddy) have done every bit of the work except paint... The actual work we have into it is about a month...its been a project now for about a year...9 months at the bodyshop waiting for paint, and a couple months just sittin there.

Just got it runnin...waiting to install the drivers seat and bleed the brakes and its driving...all the way back to the bodyshop for final paint

Yup, It's hard to find time for classic Mustangs these days while building a 56 F100. I'll be more active when I get rid of this old truck and get the wiring sorted out on the fastback. :)
