Default 1965 Fastback

Aloha,

I'm new here and also new to Mustang ownership. I recently purchased a 1965 GT Fastback. It is at a restoration shop where I am adding the following parts/changes.

302/350hp Engine Factory motor w/Edelbrock alum RPM heads and manifold
Fluidyne Alum radiator
Vintage a/c
alum driveshaft
new 8" traction lok w/3.25:1
tri-y ceramic coated headers
Flowmaster alum exhaust
Flaming River R & P
new front end kit1" lowering, w/1 1/8" sway bar, new coils, Koni shocks, upper & lowers
new leaf springs 1" lowering, Koni's, 3/4 sway bar.
rear disc brakes from SSBC, already has front discs.
monte carlo bar
export brace
15x7 styled steel wheels w/BFG 225/50's
new paint and interior

Question is am I missing anything? I want a daily driver with fairly new car performance and handling. Something I can take to the track occasionally. I appreciate any input from you folks since I am new to the Mustang world.

Mahalo,
KG
Honolulu, HI

Looks pretty good to me. There is always something else you can do. Keep you eye open and you will see lots of things.

You probably have this covered but I don't see anything for ignition. Unless you like adjusting points (some people do) convert to some type of electronic system.

Thanks for the input.
The motor does come with an MSD ignition.

Now of course the list continues to grow, Just purchased 1966 Shelby style traction bars and a new fuel tank.
