I thought it would be cool if we all do a project history page. There are a lot of cool rides here now and many have been built or modified over time. It would be cool if we have a page for the history to see what all has been done.
My car has been in it’s current state (not finished but mostly done) for two years now.
I started on it in 1990. It was rusty but I didn’t think it was as bad as it turned out to be.
I put new quarters, floor boards, wheel wells, fenders, etc. on it in the early 90's and primed it. My 1st wife left when my oldest son was about 7 months old, I was a single dad for about 3 years. I remarried in 94. My wife even got into the project
I stuffed a 460 in it in 92 or 93.
Crites motor mounts
It sat around a lot as I had two more boys and relocated twice for work.
I finally got busy working on it again and yanked the 460 to rebuild it. The block had been bored before and there was some core shift so a couple cylinders needed to be sleeved. I decided to look for a new block. I called around and found a guy who said he had a 429 with a 4 bolt main for $500. I bought it, built it up and put it in the Stang. I had a C6 in there but it leaked real bad so I had it rebuilt and had a shift kit put in. I was using Crites motor mounts and Tubular Automotive headers, 3" exhaust and 40 series Flowmasters, Granada Spindles and a Versailes 9" rear.
my wife got tired of the multi-color look so we decided to prime it all one color.
It remained this way for a while...
More to come
