New member and new project - Lateral-g Forums

Hi all, I've been a lurker for a while. I've had a 68 mustang coupe since I was 13 and last week I found a solid 68 fastback to become a new project.

Don't mind the gnarly 70's color combo, teardown begins over Thanksgiving holidays.

Most of the details are still undecided, but here's what I'm thinking so far:

Classic lines, no shelby clone here
60's eggshell white w/ black int
427 windsor block
TKO 600
Strange 9"
coilover front
discs all around

what do you think, any ideas?

Welcome, Jeremy. Looks like the perfect victim for the treatment. Keep the pics coming.

Nice to see another mustang among all these camaros. Good luck.

yeah, it almost seems like every camaro ever built is on here. In a few years every camaro ever built will be a pro touring car.

Except for the thousands that are already pro street.

Nice project.. gotta ask.. how much for the fastback?

I was looking but they were all crazy priced..

What are ya going to do for suspension? I would suggest looking at the Chris Alston Total Control stuff..

Welcome to the site

This was an awesome find for me, I picked it up for less than 4k! I've been .leaning towards Total Control, but I've also been looking at RRS and Global West.
The RRS setup changes the front to a strut type system, while the others retain the upper/lower control arm setup. With TCP or GW, I'll have to source V8 spindles, the RRS kit comes w/ new spindles. I've got a lot more research to do before I make my decision

You are so lucky to find such as car! Ive always wanted one of these fastbacks but they seem so hard to find (in good rust free shape). Keep us posted.
