    Want to paint my 66 FB

    Thanks for the reply. Not a real option for me. No spare time like that, and the wife unit hates the car. Besides I want it perfect, and I know I cant even pretend to be able to do a job like this.

    Want to paint my 66 FB

    Hi, to all that have done this process recently. I'd like to have my car painted. Everything, top-bottom-interior-engine compartment, everything. Very light body work and panel fitment. Nothing special, just a period correct color that will last forever. What did you spend. I will...

    I'm New. Question On 1968 Fastback

    Well the main reason, this is an example. Your T code coupe, butchered into a fastback will never fetch the value of my REAL A code fastback, all original metal, minus the hood. And I would imagine as time goes on your butchered car might have some corrosion problems from the dissimilar metals...

    I'm New. Question On 1968 Fastback

    Ok, fine, yes. however the OP is shopping for a fastback, like the rest of the world. They are not cheap, even for rusty rolling shells. But there is some garbage out there that is not worth anything. the pictures posted look like a fair car to build. But that is why I recommend someone in...

    I'm New. Question On 1968 Fastback

    A grand?? You wish dude, the car the OP posted seems no better than these two examples. Rusty, REAL fastbacks still have a lot of value. With all these idiots out there making coupes into fastbacks, this will only drive up the price of the true cars. If the OP has the money, go for it. Just...

    First Time Builder- What Can I Expect?

    These things are money pits. I would just forget the sc or turbo idea. You can build a serious motor with just a carburetor on the top. Keep it simple and the car will be more enjoyable. my 331 with a Holley HP carb makes 470hp to the rear wheels at 7700 RPM. yes its a lot of rpm's, but it...

    fastbacks bring in more money these days. 54K seems a little high. for that price it would have to be near perfect with ALL the real K code stuff on the car.

    In search of a fastback...

    12k, 11k..?? You most certainly are buying a piece of crap. One afternoon looking at ebay will show you 18k and up will get you something nice. It just depends how much money you have and how nice you want this fastback to be. There is no such thing as a 66 A code GT fastback for 11k and a...
