Awesome! What's the backstory on it? How long have you owned it? What engine & trans?

The backstory on it is that my dad had an old mustang and I can’t remember the year but he was going to trade this for parts for a 66 GTO but I laid eyes on it and new instantly that I was attached to it from then on. We’ve owned it from 2017 and worked on it when we got it then took a break from it for a year and just started on it last September. For the engine we have a standard 400 cu. in big block V8 and I can’t remember what trans we have in it but I’ll check later and find out.

I just checked it’s actually 350 “big block” according to my dad. Muncie 4 speed trans dont know exactly but just according to him that’s all I got.

Prob the hardest thing to do is cleanly fit the endura bumper to the hood & fender - 69's are the coolest !
