Your work is A one. Your patience is awesome. I think daisy as shop foreman, should have a paw print on the product. Somewhere as her approval.

Ugly ? She’s a beaut. I want a ‘65 or 66 so bad, with a 289 HiPo. That frame/underside is in great condition, less rust than my 2016 Jeep Wrangler. Doors/Fenders/Quarter Panels can get on CJPonyParts so cheap, literally $150 for fenders and quarter panels, don’t even bother with major bodywork, can get a new part for what amounts to 2 hrs of labor. For me, A/C would be a must, one of those under dash units for $800, and there you go. I’d do disc brakes in the front, electronic ignition (again, not so expensive upgrade), I’d put in an aluminum heavy duty fan to keep her cool. I love the Pony interior too, but not a necessity. Your way ahead 1. Great frame 2. Great motor 3. Very little rust The rest is easy.

The rear being "wide for the chassis" just means you need more backspace on the wheels unless you want to go to the expense of narrowing it and buying new axles.

Replace the front suspension. Still has the 4 lug. It’s a bit of work. How’s the cowl? Yeah, that’s a 9in. Pull the carpets and make sure the floor boards are pop riveted in. The repair looks bad. Be prepared to weld them in correctly.

That’s the plan. I’ll show it in the next video. Going to do a Granada brake swap. Cowl seems solid but is full of trash. No way to clean it other than cutting it open

@@ratrod76 If it's just leaves and stuff you might be able to mash it down (slip something thin in through the top or up the weep holes) and rinse it out the weep holes on the sides (you'll want to pull the front fenders off and make sure they aren't blocked, but taking the fenders off is way easier than cutting). Worth a try. I would go with the stock Mustang disc brakes over the Granadas. "The reality is the Granada disc brake swap was popular because, once upon a time, you could go to a local salvage yard, find lots of Granadas, pull the front brakes, bolt them on an go. Cheap and easy." But that's not the case now. Just get the stock brakes.

Look behind the starter for the engine code.

If the VIN 5th letter is a J, then it's a 302. But you probably have figured that out by now. At least that holds true for a 68. Good luck!!

@hovlandbound 4 ай бұрын

My mistake, sounds like it originally was a 6.

@TheSchmed 3 ай бұрын

The 302 was an option in 65 ? I thought it only came later with the 67/68 ? The 64 1/2 had the 260, as they thought the Mustang could possibly be “Edsel Part 2”. I thought the 65 was either the 190 6 cyl aka “ThriftPower”, 289 or the 289 HiPo.

I'm no expert, but that rearend looks different. The backside looks like a nine inch with that gear hump that goes vertical, but that carrier looks different.
