Since I posted pics of my 68 427 fastback, I thought I'd post some of my 68 coupe. I'm working on both projects at the same time but concentrating more on the coupe right now since it's the easiest to finish. It started as a rust free california car except for surface rust on the roof under the vinyl top. I still have to install the 289 when it's finished and pull the rest of the interior to clean and detail, and then install the rest of the trim. A PO had painted it brittany blue but I wanted to paint it back to the original color diamond blue. I did all the paint myself and since it's just the second overall paint job I've done I'm very pleased with how it turned out.
This is what it looked like when I bought it.

1) Paint looks great
2) Awesome garage
3) #1 Awesome collection of Mustangs

This makes feel feel so unworthy only having one and it looking like it does.

 

+1 on all that. Do you work? Are you superman? How do you have the time to do TWO cars at the same time? Great little collection. I'm liking it.

 

Thanks.
Yeah I work but I work a 24 hour shift and then I'm off for 48 hours so I have quite a bit of time to work on my cars. The fastback has been in progress for about five years or so though and the coupe was started this spring. I hope to have it done next month and then get back on the fastback.
I actually have another project but it's taken a back seat for years, it's a 77 mustang cobra II drag car.

 

Very nice. Love the color, strips and the roof all work well.

 

I have a bad case of garage envy right now.

Thanks for the great pics!! All your cars look beautiful!!

 

looks great.... congrats

 

I hope you realize what a great setup you have, the garage is amazing. The stangs are pretty nice too.

 

Thanks everyone for all the nice comments.
I do realize that my setup is great, I built the garage specifically so I'd have the room and equipment to work on my cars. It's a 40'X60' and I figured it would be big enough for anything I wanted to do but now I wish I had made it even bigger.

 

DAMM that look great. Make me want to take a month off and paint mine.
