    Is it possible to build a NEW classic?

    I guess it really depends on if you want to build a custom street machine or a concourse show mustang. Between aftermarket, swap meets, and ebay a person should be able to build a 'brand new' classic mustang. The question & problems occur when you go to register it with the DMV.

    Excited About Painting the Car, Wait Did I, Aw Crap!

    "Humphugger" cruiser console opinions

    I've used the one that slides into the ashtray on the 65. On my 72 has the original console. I've heard tons of good things about the full hump hugger consoles though and I plan to get one when I finish up my 65.

    What Primer?

    Just remember like JB1dsl stated, self-etching primer will just prepair the metal and adhere to the metal, but it won't seal the metal from moisture & rust, but it will hold it at bay for a while (especially if you're in a drier climate like AZ)
