Paul in Seattle, WA. here. I have a 66 coup that has been on stands for 20 years....... I bought it for $500 in terrible shape. It had been hit from all sides and was a mess. It used to be a 289 2bbl, 3 speed and after deciding it was never going to be restored I have built a new wire harness, swapped in a 351W, top-loader 4 speed. I plan sub-frame connectors, disc brakes on all four wheels, one-piece tilt-up front end new fuel tank positioned behind the rear seat area, a plate to replace the trunk floor tank, and a host of other things.
I am removing everything I can to lighten the car - especially in the front (want 50/50 or 55/45 (rear heavy)) weight distribution. I have a lot of fabrication to do yet but I am back to work on it.

It may never be a Mustang - the way the factory made them but it will be a fun car for me to drive.
