I think i've picked my scheme.

It is going to be a black and white interior. And the car itself will be black with pearl white stripes. Shelby hood, brake scoops, and finished with crome bullits.

What are you doing in that last picture...praying to the shock tower gods for guidance? I do like the way you color coordinated the truck, trailer and car for the delivery.

Picked up my coupe yesterday.

Has all the panels everythings straight. All window are goods, has the electrical system already in place. Has that awesome old car smell. [8D]

Im assuming the front sits lower when the engines in?

Good for you!

I bet you are on cloud nine.

I can tell from your picture your Stang's rear is sagging because the leaf-springs are old...you'll need to replace them...it's not terribly expensive to do.

Keep us posted.

Yes, yes I was. Wait...no, nevermind, I was finding a good place to hook the winch.

The funny part about the color cordination is the truck is my bosses( the one at the winch), and trailers his mechanic(here there), and my car. And Also my boss has a red 68' GT FB. So we all match nicley.

No idea why he does. I guess so when he pulls nice cars, it helps accent them?

Love the fuzzy dice!

Congrats! What part of Houston are you in? I'm in SW Houston with a very similar car, but mine's all torn apart right now.
