Picked up a new project today. 66 coupe

These project cars seem to follow me home. I'm not sure yet what my plans will be for this one. 66 mustang coupe, 347 stroker, 4 speed. Has new floor pans installed, quarters have been reskinned but not finished very well. Good frame rails. Runs like a scalded dog. It was originally ivy green metallic with parchment and ivy gold interior. Ivy green is a really beautiful color so it will go back to that when I paint it. It's a little ruff so I just don't know how far I want to go with it. I might just smooth out the bodywork, paint it and use it as a fun driver.
I know you left coast guys would throw rocks at a car like this but here in the rust belt it's all we have to work with. It was a San Jose car originally, maybe that's why it still has some possibilities. I'm all about the 67/68's so I surprised myself when I wanted to buy this. I still remember my old 65 289 4 speed fastback. That car was a blast to drive.

That sure is a funky location for the battery ground cable.

That is where a PO put the one on my 66 when I bought it... of course with all the other hacks done to convert my 6cyl car to a V8 that was the least of my problems... of course after lots of research, parts hunting and $ you couldn't tell other than Vin # that my car didn't come with a V8...
 
d_ford,

Thanks for the pictures... I now know what rims NOT to run on my car... I have seen chrome rims before and liked them... but the baby moons don't fit the car in my opinion...
