Ya I'll put some up when I'm done, my rotating assembly is on the way. Right now the engine bay is all stripped down and primered up.

 

i dont see a problem with that at all, sounds nice and look forward to some pics.

 

Sounds like its gonna be pretty clean. I like how the stuff thats normally in the engine bay isnt. I got a relocation box for my battery too...I had an idea of putting the wiper fluid bag/jug in the drop off area inside the quarterpanel.

 

That's the kind of stuff that makes you proud of your car, when you have an idea different than anyone else's and it comes out good.

 

sounds fine to me, now if you were to cut off the top of a coupe to make it a convert (or fast back for that mater) because its "JUST" a coupe, then you've gone too far.

 

Thank ya! Ive seen pics in my friends VW magazines where they take it to the extreme and there is like nothing in the bay but the engine itself. I dont want that, I just thought it may look neat smoother up there.. I probably wont do it though..

 

its your car do what you want and can afford but to me i like the restomod type looks old but isnt

 

at the car show i go to, all the guys who dont own 50's ad earlier cars, have hot rodded muscle cars. they laught when they here i have a mustang, then nervously laugh when they hear i got a 69 with a cleveland. well not really but alot of people like to talk about them

 

I do see a problem with hacking up an all original car. That is destructive to the cars value( if you care). On the otherhand, take mine for instance. Mine had a very poor paint job and even poorer bodywork. When I started stripping it down I realized my classic was gone and rust was impersonating my mustang. I knew the car was not worth a lot of money so I started to mod it heavily. I can see adding all the safety features and custom wheels on a perfect classic. I don't see anything wrong with making a perfect 65 a GT350 either. I just don't like to see fender flares, sun roofs, holes cut in the hoods, etc. You get my drift. You can dress up a bone stock classic with wheels and a great paint job and have every chick in town wanting a ride. Mustangs are just too damn cool!

 

the way i look at it unless its a rare car do what you want with it atomsk680 i have a import and a truck i get slack from alot of people they shut up fast when they cant keep up with me
