Default switching sides...

I have been mainly on the 05-09 side of this forum but due to new additions to the garage, I will be hitting both now. I just purchased a 69 vert. about a month ago. It was a 6 cyl. car origionally but now has a 351c 4v, auto. Along with the motor, the front brakes have been converted to power disc and power steering added.

Here are a few pics. Glad to be here, tell me what ya think of my new baby.

Looks great! Always said the 1969 Mustang was the most aggressive looking and the black on black on black completes it. Though in that last pic it looks to be blue?

Thanks alot on the welcome. The car is dark metallic blue not black. I agree on the aggressive looks of the 69. My winter plans are to pull the motor and trans and detail out the engine bay and repaint the motor and replace the gaskets. I am also wanting to replace the wheels with some 15x8 magnum 500's. So glad I have a supportive wife!

Looks very sharp, and I think some 15x8 Mag 500's would go perfect with the rest of the car

I love your new addition.

Some would say I'm bias though.

Both are nice but I love the classic.

It is beautiful to begin with. When you start to pull the engine to freshen up the engine compartment please take pics.
