Default New guy, 65 coupe with pics

My wife and I have a 65 mustang. It was in my wife's family for many years. They originally came from Nevada before moving to Colorado. The car has basically no rust and is very straight. It sat in a pasture for years and never had any broken glass. Her father passed away and the car was given to us. We are partially through restoring it. The drivetrain and interior have been completely redone. The car basically just needs paint. Here are some pictures.

As the car looked when we brought it home





As the car now site

The car definitely has a chance to be something special. Baby #2 arriving recenltly has slowed us down. Too many diapers etc. to buy.

Seats are TMI Upholsery brand. They are the sport seats with optional headrest. Required new foam.

So far, the only things on the car that we have paid someone else to do are the tranny, rearend, radiator, and suspension bushings. We rebuilt the motor and have done all the interior work and all assembly.
