Wink Picking Up another Mustang... add a 65' to my stable

I have pretty much sealed the deal on a 1965 Coupe. I don't know anything about the car other then the fact that it is a Straight 6 with an auto trans. The car has been primed and has been sitting for about 10 years. It was parked and stored in a barn under a tarp due to rear end problems.. The car has a little rust but nothing major, and the car is pretty much completely intact. There is a clean clear title, and it seems to be a good restro-mod candidate. I will post up pictures and details when I get it home..

I first met the car about 3 years ago, while visiting my freinds parents house. I made an offer on the car which was rejected.. Out of the blue He called me and asked me about my compressor setup, and how much I wanted for it now that I don't have a HUGE 40x40 shop anymore... I told him I didnt want his cash, but I wanted his car...

I trading my awesome compressor/dyer setup for it...

Any tips, tricks, links, and or vendors to visit would be very helpful. I am sure I will post 1000 questions later..

POST PICTURES OF YOUR COUPES TO GIVE ME SOME INSPIRADO....!!

First order of buisness, Clean, and bomb the car for vermon. 2nd- Check for deep rust, 3rd- New gastank, clean the lines... 4th- oil change, fluids and see if the engine still runs..

Then do a FULL body overhaul, and then go from there.

Gun jam,

That is the finest "hood scoop" I have ever seen.
