67 Mustang mod/restore ongoing...
Posted: Sun Apr 08, 2012 10:04 pm
Hi all,
I thought I would start my mustang project here, I did a little intro in general discussion but because this will be a on going project it will be up dated frequently hopefully once a week or more since I can usually work on it every week end and during the week depending on how tired I feel after a 10 hour work day.
First I will post pics on how I got the car and some pics on the changes done leading up to today. I won't dwell too much on the mechanical side as this is a body and paint forum. And if I can get the hang of posting pics as it wants to post them above my text.
Its a std 1967 Coupe with an inline 6 and 8'' rear end and a 3 speed top loader (which I still have laying around) I converted it to all V8 suspension and drive train, it has a C4 with stage 2 shift kit, worked 302W, 9'' rear end open 3.25 ratio (got a 3.50 traction lock going in soon as body is done) 620 coils up front with Grenada 11''disc brakes. The only originals parts left is the washer fluid bottle and rear leaf springs (going to put in 5 leaf HD springs in later too) I replaced most stuff in the interior with new but have lot more changes to do there. Well enough with the wall of words on with the pics.
It was pretty tidy, floor was good and sub frame was good. It had only minor rust which I found later when tearing apart....pics later on that. Have to post again.....limit of 5 pics per post
