This weekend I brought home a '66 coupe with the intention of fixing a few odds and ends and keeping it as a driver while my fastback is getting repainted. It is a 'T' code that has been converted to a 289 with C-4 auto and conventional 8" rear. It has Granada front disc brakes with power...

After 5 years the car is running and driving. I need only a front end alignment to have the car road ready. The car is going back to the body shop for some final work - leaving only the windows and radio. It's been a long road, but worth it - Take a look -...

Ignore the wiring mess - I have it all working and just need to secure and hide it. I am putting it all into split loom and securing it with tie-wraps. It was loose in these photos for final testing. These photos show the latest projects: 3 point seatbelts w/inertia retractors, new SCAT...

Haven't posted or visited this site in quite some time and thought I would post a quick update on my project. The engine and transmission are in, and I am finishing up some wiring details at the moment. My headers will arrive this week, and I hope to have the car moving under it's own power...

I have sent an email on to their tech support as this one has me stumped. I am still in the garage scratching my head - so let me know if you have done this mod before and hopefully I am just overlooking something that I can fix this weekend. I have the new FR steering box with the short...

Started hitting a "one project per week" discipline a few weeks back, and it is keeping me on track so far. In the past month I have: * Rebuilt and balanced the driveshaft, including a new yoke due to wear. * Re-installed the transmission. Fully detailed case and rebuilt shifter, and a...

I still haven't gotten around to putting in the glass - but I have made some progress. I installed the carpet underlayment, then put in the foil/air insulation over the entire floor and inner quarters. It should make a big difference in both sound and heat. I used the same insulation behind...

I attempted the install today and ran into a problem. After assembing the unit I found that I have a .25" gap along the top of the window frame. This gap exists between the mounting lip of the frame and the sheet metal of the car. The frames fit very snug around the outter opening, but the...

Began the re-assembly. I have been delayed somewhat due to shoulder surgery, but the progress is picking up. I sent back the FR Rack & Pinion to be modified to fit around the headers. I also found that it is designed to work with stock oil pans only and will not fit around a high-cap pan...

These were taken today with my new camera. The car looks great! Can't wait to get it home and back together. Let me know what you think of the color and mods: http://groups.msn.com/Steves65Mustang22Restoration/betterpaintphotos.msnw?Page=1

Mineral Grey '66 Shelby - New Paint Photo Link Ok, it's not a Shelby.... I took the best of the 65 R Model, 66 Shelby Street and the modern suspension/brakes and paint and made it my way. It is coming along great and now has paint. I was trying to get by on a 5 year old digital camera - and...

My car is in the final phases of prepping for paint. The car was very straight and it has all original panels with the exception of the rear valence (did not like the gt exhaust cutouts) and the tail light panel (previous bondo). I also installed a shelby fiberglass hood and r model front...
