Restoration
Hi, In new to the forum. I'm 16 andmy dad and I arebegging the restoration of my '65 fastback. Theres alot of work yet to be done but I wondered if any of you had any advice for a restoration or any tips. Oh yeah and if any of have a list of all the stock colors for that year I would appreciate it.I was surprised to see the real color under the trunk lid its a very bright blue and I always thought it was dark blue. It used to be my moms back in the day and Ive alwaysd wanted to bring it back to life.

RE: Restoration
In this forum at the top in the sticky threads is a FAQ section that will answer alot of questions including the color code one. I am not sure if this book is referenced there but I have heard it is decent.http://www.themotorbookstore.com/mus...storation.html

RE: Restoration
Thumbnail this page in your documents. You will reference it a lot as you restore your 65. Also reference the FAQ and of course ask lots of questions. Welcome to the site.

RE: Restoration
I suggest you buy a couple of restoration books. Try 'How to Restore Your Mustang' by Larry Dobbs for a start. And subscribe to Mustang Monthly. Thne collect some mail order catalogs, National Parts Depot, Virginia Classic Mustang, Texas Mustang Parts to name a few. Get into the habit of taking pictures. It will take a while so don't give up. In the end, you can say proudly 'I did that'.
