Resto project

[wayne fontenot]

Wanted to share my current project. I bought this car when I was 15. Drove it all through highschool and into college.

69 mach 1 with 351w and a 4 speed





Plan to redo the whole car and put modern wheels and do away with the old schools

[Baron Von Crowder]

Very cool.

thanks guys... it WAS cool in 1993 when i was a senior, however the restomod thing is kinda taking over now

My coupe has modern brakes and such, if you would like to come check out how I did it.

Those wheels were on my 69 Sportsroof when I bought it and it had been off the road since 1980.

Can't wait to see your progress. I'm restructuring my collection and then I'll be working on mine again.

thanks Baron... i have already converted the front to disc. i have ordered all new springs and a bushing kit.

this is the look i want to achive



but i have a dilema that id like you guys to give me your opinion on

i bought the car red in '92.. now that i'm older and understand things more, i did research on my car and found out it was originaly Lime Gold. do i repaint it red or go back original?

[homealone]

Definitely original.

[mstng86]

Something like this? This is my uncles.

[BttleFedC10]

Well If your completely going for a resto mod. Go original. I personally think the red is a better color though.

[wayne fontenot]

yep mstng86, something like that

[Baron Von Crowder]

hmm, Im not a huge fan of that perticular color...

If you plan to sell it, then paint it back the original color - and keep everything on it just like it was delivered from the factory.

If you want to keep it forever, then do whatever makes you happy.

Don't modify it all to hell and then sell it, you will lose your arse.

If it were mine, I'd be painting it red, but not any of the reds in this thread.

I think it looks perfect as is. Very nice.
