Last week the wife of an old best friend called me up and asked if I wanted the 75 mustang II Mach 1 that we used to cruise back in high school (he was there, just doesn’t like phones) Of course I did. That day I loaded up and drove 4 hours to go get it. I’ve had big dreams of giving it the “fast and loud” treatment, but I thdon’t no I need to calm myself down. I really want to modernize it, fuel injection, disk breaks, 5 lug, etc. not really sure what it’s got, but I plan to replace most of it. money and time isn’t a problem, it’ll be a fun project for me and my boy.

You want to ditch the crappy brakes, go EFI, and have a Toyota truck? You're already ahead of the game.
