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?

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!
