rytie 10 Report post Posted November 14, 2012 (edited) Just recently purchased 69 stang, been searching for the right car at the right price, lets hope this works out for me. I happen upon this site and notice the project forum and felt it would be fun to chronicle my journey here. Also its no doubt there would be a vast knowledge base to draw from when I stumble upon those points in the project that I want to pull my hair out. anyway let the journey begin.....

rytie 10 Report post Posted November 15, 2012 Thanks for the warm welcome. I am novice at this type of restore but I love mustangs. The car came with 351w which I am going to pull and rebuild, also the guy had a 3spd trans in it, that has to go probably going to go with a C4. really undecided about getting it blasted or having it dipped. i have been reading lots of info good and bad on both methods, any input on experiences with either method would be appreciated. for what I hear the more you dig the more you find on these old cars so I will begin taking her apart to see what I'm really dealing with.

rytie 10 Report post Posted January 3, 2014 Added the doors and started putting chrome trim on, some of the chrome is ok post polishing but going to need to buy some boomerangs they are pitted something awful. I don't know how I missed it but missing the roof rail trim channel, got a buddy on the case I think Craigslist just may save me again... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
