I lived in a little German town just off the flight line at Spangdahlem, and when those 16's took off, they turned on the afterburners right over my house. Drove me batty. I always welcomed the wart hogs when they took off. Much quieter.

 

Thanks everyone for their replies (good or bad). But I think I,m gonna give it a shot. Going today to look at 76 granada for the swap without the original engine figured I would go ahead and put a v8 in it. as for pics I will post some latter maybe this weekend. I can tell u it need complete floor pans, rockers, front and rear frame rails, trunk lid, drivers door, trunk floor. I think i can save the fenders, hood, rear quarters and pass door. Ihave a guy that restores mustangs (K S Mustangs) about ten minutes from my house he said if I buy parts I'm looking at 4000 in labor. I bought the car knowing that it needed 10000-15000 in it maybe more. I did not buy to build and resale I bought because its 67 mustang vert and if I restore I dont think I would ever sale. I just have some nay sayers (family members) that are making me have second thoughts. But anyways thanks everyone for their replies.

 

im sorry to say i couldnt read all these posts, but ya, if you rally want to do it, you can restore this car. 12000 sounds fair in total parts and labor, thats what I was expecting for mine. But ya, basically every inch of these cars can be bought online and through catalogs. So good luck and know were here for you questions.

 

here are a couple of pics of the frame rail. Hope their not too large kinda stupid when it comes to the computer couldn't figure put how to downsize
