Default New Purchase!

Hey, all! My father in law and I just purchased a 65 Mustang. It is in really nice shape and will be a good project. The plan is to do the engine/trans swap, the brake swap, suspension, etc....It is going to be a ton of work but we are really looking forward to it!
I would like to post a few pics but I am not sure how to shrink them to the 400K limit....any ideas?
Looking forward to exchanging ideas and information with everyone.

A good tool is called Microsoft power tools. Free to download, and allows you to change any picture to large, medium, or small size by right clicking on the thumbnail and selecting the appropriate size.

Nice car! What are your plans for it? I see it is a Cali Car. I assume rust is pretty minimal, unless it was in the mountains.

Thanks everyone. I am really looking forward to the project. The car actually does have minimal rust so it was a good find here in MI. Plans for the car are to change to a 302, change to a T5, and obviously replace the rear end (I am thinking a 9"). I would also like to do the granada brake swap. I thnk the rear end is the only thing to debate right now b/c I am not sure what fits in what....model and year, you know.
That's about all it.
