Default Pics of my car

My 1968 Mustang coupe. Here it is.









The Rims it came with



I took the pictures with my Cellphone, because I don't have a digital Camera. BUT... As you can see, the front needs to be put back on. The Wiring needs some work and the interior needs to be redone... If you want to see the inside just say so and I will take pics of it!... BUT... What do you think??... On yea! The engine runs great!
My fingers in the way on two of them....

Yes... yes they are the springs are bolted to the middle hole... OH YEA!... It's also got air shocks on it... Sadly I was testing the brakes and the damned shift linkage broke on me...

And I have to say ARRRG!... When I was under the car screwing with my shift linkage I found a long strip of eaten away rust from the side of the floor pan!... I didn't notice it before because it was hidden under the carpet. It makes me wonder where else there is bad rust at... I'm scared now *Not really* I know all I need to do is get new/used good condition floor pans but.

OH OH!.. How about this... the left headlight worked fine, but I was messing with the wiring to the right one, because it didn't come on. Well I spliced wires that were hanging down, and I plugged the right light into the connector. I giggled the wires, not only did the right light come on but the horn went off and scared the crap out of me. When I unplugged the horn the light went off, so looks like tomorrow I will be tracking wires and uncrossing them.

I'll leave the transmission for another day.

Lol.. you have fun with that now. Really though, with some time, hard work and more blood, sweet and curse words it could look great! One of the first things I bought was the RF wiring kit and it's the first thing I'd buy again if/when we do another. It simply eliminates so many headaches later with old cars.

Have fun!
