My 1965 restomod

Seems a bit odd for me to be creating a thread to introduce myself but what they hey, I'm game.

I have a 1965 coupe that I've been making a restomod (doing a restomod?) on. Ford racing crate motor, Edelbrock injection system, power assist disc brakes all around, power rack and pinion steering, T5 manual transmission, and classic autoair A/C unit. Been a long time coming, bought it 12 years ago and finally drove it about 7 months ago. As I work on the car I am becoming increasingly aware of it's "lack of originality" . I suppose this has freed me to make changes as I see fit as there is really very little that is sacred about this car.

According to the door tag it rolled off the line on July 30 1965, was Wimbledon white, had a 289, and an automatic transmission in it.

Bought the body and suspension from a Shelby fan. He lowered the front end about an inch and put a GT bumper on it.

Don't know if it's legal top post links, but this is a recent video of it, you can hear how it sounds.

Looking forward to getting to know you, especially if you have experience with 64-66 Mustangs.

Welcome,

Nothing Odd at All Doing an Introduction. We Have a Seperate Section For That But On The Older Cars it's Actually Better To Do Them Right Where You Are. Car Looks Great! Feel Free To Post Whatever You Like on Your Build. We Are Are Posting Poor These Days But a Library For Many!

I Notice The S-197 V6 Wheels on The Car & I Have a Set That if I ever Get Around To In Would Like To Paint The Inserts & {sides of spoke} Black & Then I Think it Would Look Like a Magnum 500 A Bit!

I'm a 07 Gt-500 Owner Now But Have Had Many Old School Fords Over The Years and Lots of Vintage 1960's & 1970's Projects in Limbo!

Here is My Gen 1 Stang Back in The Day!

Thanks for the welcome. I'll be sharing some pics soon but first I'm going to ask for some help on a window problem I'm having.
