I'll agree that the Foxbody is relatively cheaper to build than most Tommy, but to be honest I could have bought a complete running car cheaper than for what I will ultimately have invested in this one.

Do the Fairlane! I can think of nothing cooler than a teenage girl staging a 64 Fairlane against some old coot in a Dodge.

Just noticed today I had the calipers upside down...corrected. Carpet in the morning.

Man, it was a race car for a lot of years and to todays kids it may be a tank. It's up to my son and granddaughter. I drive it like a dozen times a summer.

I was beginning to regret messing with this console instead of deleting it, but I believe it's going to work out in the end. I need to fashion a mount for the shifter before bolting the console down permanently.



Once the door panels and sill plates are back on I think it will look pretty decent.

Except maybe against one in a SS/GT '68 Mustang!

Editors Note: This is an inside joke, folks.

Very funny, Mr. Durham. I'm going to bracket race it too, you know. See you in the lanes... Let the rivalries begin.

Not certain what shifter you are planning to run, but if it is a 1/4 Stick style shifter, Holcomb Motorsports makes a really nice shifter mount that works with the stock console. Here is a link to it. I've used one in 12 different Mustangs, lol. http://shop.holcombmotorsports.com/S...m1plqscsfapp03

I have a Precision Performance shifter on the way. It will be rear cable exit and mounted where the emergency brake handle used to reside. The factory shifter location would not be comfortable for me...too far forward.

I had to do it,, Dale. To be fair,, neither one of us could enter the "Spring Chicken Nationals",, too many years behind us now. I'm looking forward to seeing you and the Mustang out at Bremerton this year, and perhaps also at the Pacific combo events.
Good luck with your build,,, I'm doing a little updating also,, take care. OK, Rich,, I'm through highjacking your thread, sorry.
