What color are you painting it?

[Kansas33]

dont know yet its yellow but its a nasty yellow i might paint it blue or something like that or see what the original color looked like

[RichieB16]

I hope its not a really flat/dull yellow color.  That is a common color used to hide defects in the car's body (caused by wrecks).  If there hasn't been good body work done, it is common to paint it like that so its not as visible.

I hope thats not the case, but it could be.  Either way, it sounds like a great project and I hope you have fun with it.

no it has body work done to it part of its primer but the paint that is one it is original its a straight body car its just ugly looken and i got it down here in tx so it aint very rusty just a little surface rust

[Diablos]

Awesome, should be nice afterwards. You do know that now you have to post a picture of it when it's finished.

[Kansas33]

o man that will be a while for that but i will post one of it now it looks preatty good on the drivers side but on the passenger side its half and half  paint/primer

[RichieB16]

o man that will be a while for that

I know that feeling.  Sometimes I think I'll never finish my car-but eventually I think it'll get done.

the 455 SD was a very nice engine, but... Pontiac was going to come out with a Ram-Air V engine. About 200 were built and later sold for about 2K in the 70's.  Pontiac even had a Ram-Air VI and Ram-Air VII in the works.

67 GTO for me

Mustangs are my favorite.  The '68, '69 428 SCJ is my mythic stang of all.  Also, in 1963 Ford put a 427 side oiler in the T-bird.  If I could but find one.  Very rare, very overlooked, and very fast.  Also, a lucky lady works at our post office here in town is first with an '05 stang.  Black GT. She give tours.  Very nice, lot more substance than the fox platform stangs had and Ford did well with it.  Funny thing.  One can talk about all the fine muschle cars that have come and gone. And yes, all the makers made wonderful ones, some of which I would love to drive or own. But the last one standing of that species is the humble little mustang.  Production is very much sales driven and the mustang earned its continued survival and evolution.

One thing you all need to remember is that while cubic inches are viscerally impressive the fact remains that technological improvements have enabled car makers to get out of only 200 something cubic inches what used to require 400 something to do.  In the 60's an off the lot big block might be capable of a 14 -15 second quarter and with drag tires, a taller rear and possibly a better flowin carb that average could drop to the 10-12 level.  Flash forward to the early 21st century.  Now we see Mustang Cobras capable of running 12's on 281 cid and yes, (gasp) rice rockets doing the same thing with hairdryer blown pocket sized 4 and 6 cylinders.  I am realistic enough to realize whats been accomplished with hi tech but emotionally give me the Cobra or even one of Chrysler's neo hemis.  Although, I still dream of the '69 mustang 428 cj.
