Smile Heather’s 67 Mustang Coupe to Fastback conversion. Update 8/12/11 Saleen S281 Exhaust

Here is a link to the page I made for her. http://adfabdesign.com/Site/67Mustang-677.html
I know its been a long time since I posted but I wanted to give everyone an update on Heathers 67 Mustang. As some of you might know it was in Popular Hot Rodding magazine a couple years ago in the hometown hot rodding section as a coupe. The plans were to fix it up, paint it and sell it so we could buy a 67 fastback.
Well plans have changed and we decided that instead of selling her very first car, we are going to keep it and build it into a budget build fastback. We have the Eleanor GT500 fiberglass trunklid and extensions that we will install after the top is welded on. We also have the top front Eleanor clip. Other plans are eventually disk brake conversion, 18” wheels, Shrifter conversion, recessed fuel cell, lower vents modified to cool rear brakes, HOK Sunset pearl orange with white stripes, white interior with racing seats, and more including a very unique exhaust idea.
Here are a few pics of our current progress. My website with her Mustang coupe pics will get a major makeover in preparation for the fastback conversion. While it seems like a step backward, it has actually been a major step forward toward in achieving our ultimate goal of owning a 67 Fastback Mustang. Thanks for reading.

Thanks for the replies. I have still kinda been around. I got a job promotion about a year ago so I have been very busy with work and never go online to the car forums. I have to admit, I have saved a lot of money since I quit visiting these forums.
We also spent most of the summer tearing her moms 73 mustang completely apart, redoing all the body work, and painting the car inside and out. Consumed most of last summer and we got burnt out.
I do still attend road track events with my 69 Camaro at least 1 or 2 times a year. We will be building her Mustang into a Pro-Touring / Lateral-G machine similar to how my 69 Camaro is built. Its nice hearing some familiar voices again.

Just a teaser pic of what we have so far. More pics coming monday.

I set up an appointment to get the front windshield installed into Heathers Mustang on Monday August the 11th. Thats next monday which is only a few days away. This means we have only this week to get the car all welded together so the windshield can be installed. I do my best work under pressure so I did this on purpose to help get us motivated again.
New pics will be coming monday 8/11/08 and the car should look a LOT different.

Worked our butts off all week to get the car ready so we could have the windshield installed today. Still a lot to do but it went real well this week.
