Matt,

What are your suspension plans?!?!

Dude, that is sweet! I've always wanted a fastback---I love what you are coming up with on this one. Impressed at your skill sets--what a blessing to be able to delve into your creative side and have a place to let it run. I can only imagine how cool that must be.

How is Dad's car coming along?

Matt, I am impressed with your skill set, and just try attitude. I have wanted a little Mustang to make as a track car, so I will be watching this one.

Very cool Matt! Looking forward to watching this build up. Love the 65/66 Fastbacks. Probably my second favorite car after a first gen Camaro.

I will do my best to put a Ford motor in it. I almost bought a new Boss 302 motor. However, the car had been in a rollover, and the seller wanted way too much for it. Both of those things pretty much scared me away quickly.

Part of me just wants a little crate motor that would make for a nice daily driver, however the car is becoming increasingly less like something I would driver everyday. As soon as a get one nice part then I have to get another one, and the snowball continues :willy:

Hey Bryce, the shop is a dealer for DSE, so I'm considering their front. I know there are less complicated solutions to improving handling, but I still think their stuff is worth every penny. Installing their stuff is way less of a hassle than any of the other competitors' products that I've seen roll through Best of Show.

As for the rear, maybe Maier Racing? It might sound stupid, but when I pick parts for a car, I want parts that fit the rest of the level of the car I'm trying to build. In this case, I need something that works well, but also looks cool. I don't really care if the suspension looks really cool when I'm driving it, but I do if I'm trying to sell it eventually.

If you can talk me into something else, go right ahead :unibrow:

P.S. Doug, Chad, Mike, Mario, Brett - can't believe the number of you guys coming out of the Ford closet. It's crazy. (Dave doesn't count. We know he's been a little FoMo-curious for a while now).

I've always liked these cars. One of the first cars I ever drove, and the first muscle car was a first gen stang.

I've always wondered why there are not more of them being pro-toured...

I love the seats Matt, they'll definitely make a statement on the looks side of the equation.
