Right now I just sit in her and make engine noises. I'm still putting together the budget on what the car needs. Once the budget is done I'll post it here and get feedback from you guys. Right now I'm leaning towards a Boss 302 clone.

And she has some rust in the front floor pans on both sides, the rear quarters are rusted on both sides. The frames appear to be solid. Once I get the car disassembled I'm taking to to Edwardsville, Kansas to have it media blasted and primed.

Lol, ok...look at my sig...see that pretty coupe? That thing came home w/ 99% of its parts in a box, rusted out floorboards so you could see the ground as we brought her home putting. No backseat, no anything...Now look at her...Your car is going to be beautiful...don't worry about what it looks like now...think about the potential!

Not sure about the Mustangs in the background. Thats Fordman Mustangs in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin were I bought my 70 FB from. Bryant is a stand up guy, call him those two may be for sale.

Speaking of interior here is mine.

If youre interested, I'm about to pull my interior out of my 70, (also black) to put 2005 mustang buckets into it, and put the upholstery and foam from the rear seat onto my frame, so ill have two complete good condition from buckets, and the upholstery and foam for the rear seat available if youre interested.
