Rickster65s 1965 Ford Mustang

 

Here is a pic of my new project.

I bought a '65 Mustang rolling shell - no engine or trans - former 6 cyclinder.

Plan is to rebuild this one with the parts from my "donor vehicle".

Here's a pic of the donor vehicle from back in the day. I rebuilt her back in '73

for my SWMBO (she who must be obeyed) while going to college.

A typical Michigan rust belt car the body is pretty much history. But mechanically she holds quite a few new parts. So the plan is to restore the new shell utilizing the V8 componetry from the donor vehicle.

 Step-1: The 6 cyclinder 4-lug rear axle has got to go! Being replaced with the 5-lug V8 rear axle.  In a case of the "while I'm at it's" I removed the gas tank to better access the rear axle and found a bunch of surface rust and undercoating that needed cleaning up.

Good luck with the project, even though it looks like you know your way around classic mustangs. Check out my 64 project with a supercharged 5.0 and a 5 speed.
