New member - old car

I just joined today. I have owned a '65 convertible survivor since the 80's that spends most of its time in my garage in CA. I want to start some restoration and minor mods (mostly period correct) and hope that I can find some inspiration and advice on this forum.

I have spent many hours on the Triumph RAT forum during my modifications on my Triumph Bonneville. Now its time for the Mustang!
