[@strokedfirebirdable]

Very nice parts and resto

[@MustangConnection1]

Thanks Dave! Appreciate you tuning in and commenting.

[@shanebowles2632]

Absolutely stunning Rich. Awesome video man

[@MustangConnection1]

Thanks Shane! Hood and cowl came back off today, getting the blacked out hood treatment, it should look even better when that and the side stripes are installed.

[@Cobrafanatik22]

Really nice eye candy. Very sharp car Rich. Thanks for taking us along on the build.

[@MustangConnection1]

Thanks Billy, I am getting excited again. Thanks for coming along on the journey.

[@Cobrafanatik22]

I need to get excited about mine again. I haven't touched it in 3 plus weeks.

[@kingsfan8888]

Car looks awesome Rich. Hope mine turns out this nice. The attention to detail is nothing short of amazing.

[@MustangConnection1]

Thanks Mike, much appreciated.Speaking of your car, how is it coming now that you have the motor done?

[@kingsfan8888]

MustangConnection1 Motor is done. Hopefully goes to paint next week. I need to pick a striping configuration and can't decide between standard Shelby dual stripes or the super snake pattern? Do you know how wide the super snake stripes were on the 68?

[@MustangConnection1]

Mike McCall Wow going to paint cool! Sorry Mike, not sure on that one... the Super Snake was a 67 and a 1 off car so the measurements may be tough to find. Hey send me you address and I will drop you some Mustang Connection stickers

[@6a6181]

Superbe Mustang 69, bravo pour la resto

[@MustangConnection1]

6a6181 Thank you!

[@Rudderify]

Wow, nice stuff! The added badging will really add some class to her.

[@MustangConnection1]

Hey Joe, Thank you! I am finishing he hood and side stripes up too. So looking forward to see the cosmetic transformation finalized.

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

Very nice update Rich and congratulations of finding out it is a GT afterall.

[@MustangConnection1]

Thanks George, Yes it makes the build a bit more worthwhile with the GT livery.

[@freddiemac2847]

GT looking awesome !

[@MustangConnection1]

Thanks Freddie!

[@mdkingsley]

Very cool Rich, a cool car even better. Can't wait to see it with the blackout hood. You have great patience with those nut and bolt restorations. I don't know that I would, I will probably just build hotrods and pass the original cars on to someone else when I get one. Thanks for the update and good news.

[@MustangConnection1]

Thank you Mitchell! It's like building a giant model when you are doing the restorations and I think that is why I enjoy the challenge so much. hood and cowl are already off and paint is going on soon! Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

[@ziggassedup]

It really does look great.

[@MustangConnection1]

Thanks so much ! Hey I know you are down south a bit but send me you mailing address and I will get you a channel sticker . Cheers ! Rich

[@cutworm59]

AWESOME! Looks like a keeper! I think my 67 T5 had the drop down filler cap.

[@MustangConnection1]

Thank you, means a lot coming from a real car guy! The 67 was the first year Ford started using the flip down style on the Mustangs so that sounds about right. Thanks for watching and commenting, much appreciated.

[@MrMach1]

Perfect!!! Need I say more?

[@MustangConnection1]

Thanks Gary!

[@Cheator40]

Sure is looking good Rich.

[@MustangConnection1]

***** Thanks Jerry, much appreciated !

[@trevercolburn8051]

[@MustangConnection1]

Trever colburn Thanks Trever!

[@frankbeato3447]

[@MustangConnection1]

Frank Beato Thanks Frank!

[@Buckswoodshop]

Heck yeah!!!

[@MustangConnection1]

Thanks Matthew!

[@911GNX]

Beautiful restoration!!! Regarding the specific bolts, placement and their color coating, where might I find that information?

[@MustangConnection1]

911GNX Thank you, this video has some good info on what you are looking for. kzbin.info/www/bejne/laTbdWV9dtB3hNU

[@Promethus27]

once those GT stripes are on with how low the car is I bet it will set the car off really nice. I still have my GT cap or my 67 but I think the 67-68 have been repop for a while thanks for the video

[@MustangConnection1]

Promethus27 Hey Adam, Thanks for checking it out buddy. Stripes going on this Monday....I think. Hey message me your address and I will send you a channel sticker.

[@Rarerat]

Beautiful car and a GT to boot, very very cool. Dumb question for you.. do the Marty reports go back to the 66 model year? I would like to get one on my 66 GT.

[@MustangConnection1]

Thanks Nick, no not a dumb question at all. It's interesting actually how Kevin Marti acquired all of the Ford data, he basically was persistent and asked. He wasn't quite fast enough as Ford destroyed all records prior to 1967. So the earliest you can get a Marti is 67. Best hope is that your 66 coupe is still hiding it's build sheet underneath the carpet.

[@ruwithlee1970]

Hey! Where's the wipers & the a/c belt ? Also do you think it came with the rear Spoiler, since it has the chin spoiler ???

[@MustangConnection1]

No wipers yet,hood and cowl are coming off for paint. AC is not charged yet so no belt. No rear spoilers were offered on coupes( although people do install them) and the chin spoiler is an add and was always dealer installed. Thanks for stopping by Lawrence.

[@johnbrockmeyer2242]

I have the same gas cap but is the runing horse.It was a pain to put to gather and it hard to fill up without spilling gas. Scott Drake stuff is good Quality I was satisfy with about 95 percent of the stuff I bought to Restore mine 100 percent done. I did not like the fastback trunk it was a little off .

[@MustangConnection1]

Hey John, thanks for stopping by, yes the Ford licensed reproduction stuff is usually from original tooling and that makes a big difference. The body panels such as your trunk leave a lot to be desired, they just aren't up to original standards.

[@5769JJ]

Just gorgeous! is this a keeper....or are you selling it off?

[@MustangConnection1]

5769JJ Not sure just yet what the owner has in mind.

[@5769JJ]

Oh....I thought it was your personal car
