The idea with building this car was to:
- Have fun
- Combine classic 60's looks with modern performance
- Improve my skills from bolting on parts to real fabrication
- Use skill instead of cash wherever possible
The basic process was:
Buy a 1967 Mustang with a dying 6-cylinder motor off Craigslist, net $1140
Pull the v8 engine, 5 speed, computer, fuel injection, etc out of my modified '89 Mustang 5.0
Modify the rear-end from a 1992 Lincoln LSC
Bolt/wire/weld it all together
Start driving it, and add relatively cheap improvements as I went
The web, Car Craft magazine, Mustang Steve and Craiglist were a huge help.
Modifications:
The biggest modification is the engine, transmission, fuel injection, but I don't have pictures of that handy.
Here's some of the other stuff I did, with the approximate cost of some items in case people want to do the same...
