Wow! A lot of this stuff I had on my own build list. Seeing some of it on the car help frame my final vision and manage expectations during the build process.
Thanks for the really nice show Gents. Impressive Mustang! Really appreciate your informing us about its history as well as all the enhancements. Truly a labor of love and it shows! Thanks again for sharing with us, enjoy!
I still have my 65 Mustang Fastback from high school, graduated in 1988. California car, 351w with AFR heads, Hydraulic roller cam all the good stuff. My dad passed away in 2002:@ 62 years young. I still have his original numbers matching 67 Shelby GT 500, California car, no rust or wrecked. Had a few engine mods , I kept it mostly stock because that's where the value is. 428 PI , original dual carbs, intake, valve covers , air cleaner etc. 030 over with a Crower 3/4 race cam. Runs strong.

@@305classics not really I don't miss it that was a part of my life that came and went but it was a great time and a lot of great people helping me along the way
@305classics I do. A red coupe with black pony interior. In the middle of swapping a blueprint crate engine in it now. I also lived in Miami while stationed in the Coast Guard from 2007-2009. I loved it.
@@09stx4x4 Cool! I had a 66 coupe years ago, now I have a 65 convertible and 70 sportroof. Damn, too bad you’re not here in Miami. Thanks for your service💪
I think the focus should shift to later model Mustangs. The early stuff is done and dusted by now. Mustangs from 2000 onwards should be the new targets. There are plenty of them and they don't required frame-offs because they are not rotted out. I personally drive a 2023 Mustang GT 6 speed and the thought of trying to rehab a pre-2000 Mustang is depressing.
The purpose of restoring a vintage car is preserving history and for some of us, its memories of what we grew up in. There is nothing wrong with either, just personal preference.
Hmmm I saw drip pads under the car. when he pulled out of his garage..I bet just like every other engine being built these days it too has a rear main leak. Engine builders are baffled as to why almost every engine being built leaks oil from the rear main.
These old cars all leak something. It’s frustrating but you have to learn to deal with it or go crazy. I have a buddy who couldn’t deal with it well and changed everything to stop it. Both my cars leak something but I’m fine. Put down a drip pan and make sure it’s not a huge leak. Thanks for watching! Appreciate the support💪
