65 mustang at EBMC
 

We wanted to share one of our "mild" pro touring builds with you. We had a customer come in last summer with a 65 Mustang coupe to do some upgrades on. It had been in the family for years and been sitting in a field in the midwest for alot of that time. After a check out, we found ALOT of rust the customer decided to go forward with repair and do a complete build since it had been in the family so long. heres some pics of the teardown.........

Great work Steve, that thing has come a long way. What kind of suspension you going with on the front?

Thanks Jason, were running TCP front suspension. Come by in that wicked Torino one of these days and Check it out!

Steve - nice project. Love the birds nest! :thumbsup:

I thought everybody would like that! It was actually found when the seat platform was removed. So it was in a very confined space and the mouse or whatever it was, had to gain access through the seat bolt access hole that was missing a body plug!
