Default New project 5.0 pics...

Hi,
I'm new to the site. I figured I'd post up some pics of the GT I picked up last weekend. I wanted some before pics to refer to after she's done. It's a little rough. But it's all there. Anyways here you go......

T-Tops nice!! Looks like a good project car. Do you have all 4 web wheels or just the 2 on the front? They are a pain in the @ss to keep clean but I have always like the looks of them.

Very nice, love the T-tops.. When I do my next drag car, it is going to be a 4-eye I think... I used to hate them, but now I am starting to like them more and more. And with the growing number of 4-eye owners on this forum, I guess I have to like them!

Nice project, looking forward to watching it progress.

Yeah. I think it's a diamond in the rough right now. I do have all four of the web wheels. I just got good tire put on all four of them today. I also got a chance to work on the engine alittle. The timing was wayyyy off,the eldrbrock carb was way too rich, and The vaccum advance and the EGR valveweren't hooked up. I have to get some hoseand a new EGR tomorrow. It's definatley not an H.O. motor.She's been pretty mis-treated in her days. It runs for now. I'll change the motor later. I'm going to get it lookin' good first. I'm thinking about using the side ground effects off of an '89 or newer GT, a saleen rear spoiler, and a cowl induction hood. My paint scheme will be black and gold. Kinda like the "smokey and the bandit" trans-am. It'll look like it's straight outta the 80's! Any one know of any good catalogs to order restoration parts from for the fox-body 'stangs? My father in laws got 'em for the older ones. They don't cover fox-bodies. He's got some 'stangs were workin' on too. I've got a '73 MACH 1 in the garage now, and we got a 64 1/2 at the farm. That we're going to restore. Sometime.....
