Big Secz 26 Report post Posted December 28, 2015 I'm BACK! After a long absence I finally have my next project. Before I start some of those newer members may say, "Why is this donk posting a '67 project in a '69/'70 forum?" Well I've been a member for a long time and started out with a '70 vert. Then I moved to a '71 Torino, and now I'm on to a '67 coupe. I have been planning this build for a long time, though '67/'68 fastbacks remained out of my financial grasp, I have scored a deal that I couldn't resist on a '67 coupe. While on hiatus, and planning my build for when I finally got another car, I decided to go down the EFI road. It started by scoring a complete EFI setup from a '92 Mustang (wiring harness, upper/lower intake, PCM, etc.) on CL for a $150. I went through and cleaned, repaired, and modified the wiring harness as my first project. When that was done I managed to score a 5.0 with about 800 miles on it since rebuild (minus the parts I already have) for a whopping $400. I then cleaned and painted the motor in the black/candy brandywine color scheme I'm going for. Just recently, my patience paid off and I scored a '67 coupe, San Jose car for a steal. Car has 289, C4, deluxe interior, overhead console, Shelby hood, shaved door handles, A/C, power steering, and factory power front disc brakes. So here I am back with my next build.....Feels good to be back again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tgriffin91 27 Report post Posted January 2, 2016 Welcome back! I joined about the time you were half through the Torino. I admired what you did with that! The custom center console comes to mind off the top of my head. I look forward to following you on this build too! 67 is just a number! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Secz 26 Report post Posted January 3, 2016 Welcome back! I joined about the time you were half through the Torino. I admired what you did with that! The custom center console comes to mind off the top of my head. I look forward to following you on this build too! 67 is just a number! Thanks. That custom console got me a lot of attention on the Torino board as well. The car came out great but it just wasn't what I really wanted so I decided to sell it. Believe it or not the new owner called me up unhappy with the car. You just can't please some people. Now I'm building the car I really wanted, so this is going to be a long-term project. I'll be working on putting in a one piece floor pan next. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now that you mention it I remember you posting something about him wanting to give it back. Crazy if you ask me. I a, lad you found the one you want for the long term. The other cars were just practice to make this one perfect! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
