Default wierd.....

I know a man where i work that has a 66 mustang. He knows i drive one, etc. The other day he told me he was still selling it for 6500. The car has fresh blue with white stripes paint, and a new 302 bored over to something, he didn't say to what. It was also the second time he told me he would trade his car with mine... plus me giving alittle cash. Im tempted to do it, if his car looks clean underneath. Mine is really getting on my nerves. Today, i found out my torque boxes are missing?? They are in the same spot on 66 and 67 mustangs right? my dads 67 vert has them, but my 66 dont. Let me know what you think.

yeah, Well i mean, he car is fixed up. Mine isn't. I mean, if i can get my alignment straightened out this week for good, im not going to get the other car. If i have to replace something like a fender apron, or something like that, this car is gone.

it ties the front frame rail to the rocker panel for a stiffer unibody structure +1 on the 65-66s not having them
