I just bought my grandpas car in hopes of a light restoration. As i started digging i have found out it will be a full restoration. I hope to take pictures and possibly videos along the way hoping to help other people to take on projects they love. I am sure mistakes will be made and my goal is to have the car back up and fully primed by July 4th 2019.

Well the car looks great from a little bit away. It was painted by my Grandpa is his garage over 25 years ago.. The car was involved in a passenger side collision before he got it. I am sure what happened but it must not have got sealed up just right, also the front sub frame is just a bit off, and i tend to be a perfectionist when it comes to my projects.. The car is an amazing starting point but i plan to go all the way. Hopefully including a new 5.0 Coyote swap.

The Coyote motor is what they put in the new mustangs i believe 2011- to present. Aluminum blocks great horse power outstanding 6 speed transmissions. 440 hp and still get 25 mpg.

A coyote swap would be sick but personally, I would put in an automatic with a nice stall.

I thought about that but i just ordered 8700$ of "Toltal Control Products" Suspension, chassis and, 3 link kits with 4 wheel 12" 4 piston caliper Wilwood power brake system, along with the borgeson power steering kit. I am too deep to back out now. I am super excited to take pictures and share this process. My ultimate goal is to have a touring 1965 Mustang that handles like a Corvette.

I watched my Grandpa build this car almost completely by himself with very little experience when i was around 5 years old. I have since moved away for work reasons and my land lord has a huge shop with about 6 race cars in it. He will not have the time to do anything for me but if i get stuck somewhere i will have some serious knowledge behind me. Also my father worked and owned Machine/Welding shops most of my life and i went to aviation mechanics school for two years. I have quiet a few skills but very little experience in building cars.
I know i will have some long struggles but i am sure i will figure it out.. I got most of the car stripped down today. I plan to type some stuff up tonight or tomorrow and release some of the new work.
Wish me luck ;)-
