Hi from Jakarta, Indonesia

Hi guys, new to the forum here. I have a 68 mustang coupe with 351w. Starting the restoration last week after sitting dead for 4yrs under the mango tree. Wish me luck!

Thanks for the welcome. I'm pretty sure i'll have lots of questions regarding my project, mostly about fabrications and tips. Since i cant find or should i say if i'm able to find parts for the mustang, its gonna be crazy expensive here.

Are those fins in between the headlight and grille like the 65-66' Mustang? If so, I have never seen that done and it is really cool! If not and it is just a shadow, feel free to call me crazy.

It is fins in between the head light. I was wondering the same too, do you should i keep it or smooth things up?

I think it is pretty cool and unique! I would just keep them and maybe clean them up a little during body work. I can't say I've ever seen that before!
