New member 65 Mustang
Hi All, I was browsing this site out and saw a thread on lurkers so figured I'd register.:lol: I haven't spent much time on the forums but have visited the home page and browsed through the features on occasion over the past year or so. I am a hobby painter w/ a full time job in the paper industry.
I have a homebuilt '65 Mustang that I finished around '99 and have only done a few minor things to since that time. It's sorta "dated" pro-touring (all the parts for the build were purchased around '96):( ,,,,,,,,, there's alot more cool parts to choose from nowadays......... My car is a plain jane '65 coupe that I added the GT trim to along w/ a spoilered decklid and cowl hood, filled all unused holes, welded all seams underhood and relocated the wiring, Pony Interior, GT-40 crate motor, t-5z 5sp w/ hydraulic clutch, Currie 9" w/3.50 gears and '98 Explorer rear disc, flaming river quick ratio box, negative wedge kit, beefier sway bars,,,, Car had Vintage wheel works V45 16X8's on it when I first built it but I added 17X8 TTII's last year (Yes I know everyone has 'em ,,,, but I still like 'em:yes: ). Here's a recent pic. http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c2...verby/6538.jpg |

Great looking car.

Nice Mustang...and welcome to the forum.
|
I like it! It really has a timeless look to it, I would not have guessed it was an 8 year old build with parts more than 10 years old.
Great car! Tim |

Thanks for the welcome guys.
Yeah, the build has aged pretty well. I'm not ashamed to drive it yet anyway.;) If I were building it today there are a few things I'd do differently. Minitub, coilovers on the front, satin black engine bay yet still smoothed,etc...... Truth is I stay so busy doing sidework on other peoples rides that I don't have time available to tear back into mine and since it runs,drives and still looks presentable it's best to just leave it be. I paint alot of drag cars and goofy stuff like this as a hobby. http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c2.../crtclrs25.jpg http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c2...by/davy211.jpg The next build I do for myself will most likely be a GM product. Starting to miss my C5 Vette a little these days. There aren't too many guys into the G-Machine thing here in southeastern Va. Closest thing to pro-touring I've had a chance to work on in the past few years is my friend Dougs '67 Camaro w/ a Tremec, Baer brakes and hydraboost. http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c2...rby/doug10.jpg http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c2.../doug100-1.jpg |
