My baby.

1969 Mustang Grande'
As it sat when I found her. $1200 on Craigslist san Diego it had been sitting for 3 years, the rear springs were saggy as hell, heater core was rusted through, and what was left of the interior was in the trunk.   No door pannels, headliner, or carpet and the drivers seat has a hole that I can fit into.

After I cleaned her up at home, she ran good but had no oil pressure, I pulled the motor and had it rebuilt while I cleaned up the engine bay.  There was nothing left of the cam bearings they were sticking out of the journals around the cam..

-After Rebuild: I was happy as hell to find that the supposed 302 was actually a 351w.  The previous owner even had 302 stickers all over the engine bay.  I had it bored .020 over with a Edlebrock Performer Plus Cam, soon to get a Performer intake and 600cfm Carb.  Im running 2.5 inch exhaust through Hooker Competition Long Tube headers and Flowmaster 40's.  I also changed out the brake booster for a new unit when the old one went out.   The best part was driving through town with open headers to the exhaust shop.  Very Loud.

-2005 Mustang GT Wheels 235 45 17's up front and 235 55 17's on rear.

-New Grab-a-Track Mid Eye Rear Springs and traded the rear air shocks for some KYB Gas-a-Just Shocks all around (still need to lower the front though).

-I had to use spacers to get the 2005 wheels to fit correctly and then change the front tire size because it was too tall and would rub the front valance.

-Paint and body: Coming Soon, still trying to decide on the color
