Back in 1988 I rescued this 1969 Mustang Fastback from a salvage yard from getting crushed. I noticed that he just pulled it into the salvage yard and bought the car for $700 took all the interior completely out of it and placed it down on the farm in the hay barn for over 30 years while I was Raising kids and growing a family. My kids are grown now and I thought this is finally my time to get to build my dream car so couple years ago I pulled it out stripped it completely down and noticed the car had the typical rust in all the wrong places. so I completely rebuilt this car from the ground up.
I ended up cutting the whole front end off, replace the whole front end, cowling and firewall as well as the floor and rocker panels, torque boxes, lower frame rails and trans crossover I am currently rebuilding the back half of the car now replacing most of the sheet metal. I'm building a 521cid big block with a TREMEC T56 MAGNUM 6 speed.. I picked this project because I've always had a love for the 69 Mustang and had always dreamed of having one and after all these years of holding on to it I've literally had this car longer than I have my children and it means just as much to me. my goal is to try to have a rolling chassis by the spring and then start applying some paint and start bolting in the big block and the 6-speed transmission and I hope to be driving my dream car within a year. I love your show and I never miss an episode as well as having you programmed in on my DVR. ?
