11 months?! What took so long?

Looks good though.

well here was the problem, we had a six cyl. rear end and 4-lug pattern all around, so we converted to power front disk brakes (master power, awesome might i add, fit on perfectly), and we put in an 8-inch rear end for when i get a beast of an engine.

That is exactly how my car looked for most of last week while I was putting in the 9" T-lok. Now I just need to get the cosmetics sorted out and some Vintage 48 wheels.

You car looks really good. I put some TTs on my primered and Bondoed '65 notch years back and it looked 100% better. You have the benefit of starting with a clean car.

when my dad and i bought the car it was 99.9% rust free, couldnt find a speck of rust on it. im glad it's a new mexico/arizona car

All of my Mustangs have been 100% rust free California cars until I got the '68. It is still a SoCal car, but the underside of the trunk lid is rotten behind the chrome, but that's all. Luckily I can get a new steel decklid for $200, used for less. My '65 just had a really hammered body; wavy with lots of filler, but zero rust.

My old man got a 1957 Ford Custom from Washington and it has more holes than Swiss cheese.

life would be a lot nicer without rust on cars, huh

 

[65ShelbyClone]

Eh, I wouldn't know.

My dad does, though. His '57 sat in a stream bed since the late '60s....in northern Wahsington state. There is hardly any of the passenger front floor left. He has a nice '67 Mustang 390/4-spd driveline for it, though.

More on-topic, you can bet I'll post pics of my car when I get Vintage 48s for it. Heck, I migh post pics of the two 120ft black stripes I left with it today on Mopar steels.

haha nice, if i could lay down stripes like that, id need a bigger engine, straight sixes don't work like that, haha

Nice, but whats that Vette in the garage

 

[my70stang]

looks good. BTW there is a mustang just like that a guy was selling he told me 1100 canadian. I would have bought it but i really would like to get a fastback when i finally get a classic mustang.

 

[my70stang]
