Project car choices?

[MustangGlx]

Hey, im going to school now at Wyotech for automotive, collision and refinishing, chassis fab, high performance engines, and street rod classes, i want a project car for while im down here, im in the process of making a
408w stroker motor and i want to do an old ford product with it, i already have a vintage stang so i was kind of thinking about doing something else, i just dont know what i wanna do, i was thinking maybe a falcon, something real small like that, but i was wondering what you might have for ideas?
thanks
Joe

i like the square body falcons. like the 69 falcon. a cobra II would be cool to, nobody would expect a 408 stroker in a II. another cool one would be a 70's capri.

66-67 Fairlane, 68-71 Torino. Great bodies, still relatively affordable. May have shock tower issures with the 66 body, but the 67 could be had with a 390, so it may be a better choice.

yea, i was looking at 67 fairlanes last night online, there real good lookin cars, but there arent to many in my area, im keepen my eye out for one. Thanks for all your input, now its just a matter of finding something, but now i have some ideas to look into

fairlane?

here is a nice one..........the final selling price could give you an indication of what you can get for it if you want to sell after completing it

'63 Falcon Sprint is a cool body style as well with the fastback roofline. '63-'64 Fairlane would be cool as well. You can put a '66-'67 Fairlane front clip on a '67 Falcon and it bolts right on and the body lines line up. A small bumper Mavrick would be neat as well, get the Grabber stuff for it. I've got a buddy with a 351w in a Pinto hatchback as well.

I didn't think about the Maverick, that was my first car. Had a 250 inline 6 in it. Good body, good lines, cheap to buy!
