My 70 coupe project
#32
Picture update
So here is the progress that I have made thus far. I bought a 351w motor that I have completely torn apart and got the front clip peeking out from the panels. Also removed most of the dash components. It has been a long and educational process that I am far from completing. On the plus side though I learned that I will not have to replace or even work on my cowl! Which is a huge relief, I have plenty of body work to have done, so that was really uplifting to see. Tell me what you guys think!

Looks pretty good so far,Since you have it torn down that far now is a good time to upgrade the front drum brakes.
You can get front disc brake components from older FORD cars like the Granada/Fairmont/Thunderbird/Cougar/71-73 Mustangs/Mercury's....ETC
If your like me you will want to clean and repaint/re-coat every part you take off.
You may also want to rebuild the heating system while you have the dash apart,The rebuild seal kits are fairly inexpensive but well worth it.IMO
Just remember when you are putting it back together not to get to excited and want to drive it before you are completely done

Thanks for the info chad. I have a disc brake setup in boxes at the moment from another mustang. Only paid a 100 bucks for the things, which was a pretty good deal. The guy said he had them on his wifes 66 mustang so they should bolt right up. Hopefully I won't have to redo the whole front suspension, but knowing me, I most likely will upgrade most of it. Any suggestions?
