Hey guys, I was wondering what websites you guys use to buy parts to restore your Mustangs? I found a 1966 Coupe that I'm thinking about buying and restoring:





I'm planning to go see it sometime this week. I'm thinking about repainting it black, completely restoring the interior (carpet and all), beefing up that 289 (unless its in really bad condition, then I'll scrap it and put a fresh motor in it), replacing the automatic transmission with a 4-speed manual (if the transmission is in bad shape), beefing up the rear axle, improving the suspension...

blah blah blah. The whole nine yards.

I have a good deal of mechanical and automotive experience, but I've never restored a car before. Any tips are appreciated, thanks guys!

 

Check all floors, torque boxes, frame rails for rust. I use Mustangs unlimited and CJ pony parts for parts for my mustangs.

 

less than 10 threads down on the front page is almost an identical post with some good responses.

Here's the link....

Thanks, and yes, I probably won't buy it if there are rust issues. And from the pictures, it doesn't look too promising...[>:]

 

This topic has come up an unusualy amount lately....

at least 6 times within the past month, I think...

Anyway check out the link Dave provided.

 

I thought the pics looked pretty good. Dirty as hell but it looks solid with a little surface rust. The whole car is there.. at least from the photos.


ohh,, and a hole in the hood.. oops didnt see that one.

 

 

NPD. I know there prices are a little more steep but hey, they make solid parts, that arent cheap.

True66gt...if I could I would airbrush her on my mustang...

 

lol shes a babe.

 

Thanks guys, and sorry I didn't see the other threads
