1969 Mustang Coupe build/restomod

Nice looking build, cant wait to see more.

Thanks for the feedback guys.
I am looking forward to the nicer weather headed our way. My c4 is being rebuilt right now and I should have it back in about a week. Once it is in my hands again the engine/trans will be back in asap.

I have a full new interior as well. New seat upholstery, headliner, carpet and underlayment. Luckily I have a neighbor who runs an upholstery shop in his back yard (dude has a 3 bay shop tucked behind his house out of sight). I have known the guy for years and we have helped each other off and on since I was in high school so he said he would be glad to help me install all of the interior. That is a huge relief and will save a bunch of time.

This is looking great man. Really nice work. Looking forward to more updates.

We'll have to plan a classic meet up when we get ours done.

In!

Sorry to jumble up your thread. We'll have to plan a classic meet up when we get ours done.

Sometime this spring would be good.

I am hoping to have mine on the road in about another 30 to 45 days.

Im hoping that after getting tuned the last week of this month that Ill be able to drive mine again.

Denton is a bit of a hike for me, but Im looking for someone to do the headliner and vinyl top on mine, if your neighbor is interested.

His name is Harry. I can PM you his number if you would like. Have you replaced the rear window seal? The mustang headliners usually tuck into the seal and it is best to do them both at the same time if I understand correctly.

You're correct, though people have tried to glue the edges up to the window seal. Instead of pulling the glass.

I have a new seal, headliner and insulation in boxes waiting. As soon as I am done patching the drivers floor the back glass is coming out!

Got the 8.8 rear in tonight. Took about 2.5 hrs to pull the old and install the new. The summit racing lowering leafs slammed the rear!

Looks like it's coming along nicely. What color blue is that?


What do you think about those FR500's? I've slipped them on my 69 a few times too.

That's one of two that will never go anywhere. But thanks for the offer.

Yep, it will never leave that driveway.

The blue is a custom color I had mixed up about 16 years ago. Ford Royal Metallic Blue with black and white pearl added.

I love the FR500'S. I was on the fence between black or silver. I chose black because I was to paint the car a really dark green when I am done.
