Looks like a fun project. My first car was a 68. My favorite of the first gen. Welcome to the site. Where are you from?

My very first car was a '68 Falcon Futura with the I6. That car had been messed with. The three on the tree had been converted to (I kid you not) a Hurst competition floor shifter. They just duct-taped the steering column ring and cut a hole in the floor. Nothing between you and the road by carpet. My dad and I built a box mount for the shifter.

It was also a bench seat. So unless you had the seat back far enough, you could not get the thing into 3rd gear!

I tracked a lot of beach sand into that car for about a year. Then I was rear-ended in '76 by a '72 Mach 1 Mustang! My second Mustang experience was getting hit by one. (First Mustang experience was a new red '66 vert my dad had when I was little.)

It messed up the Falcon pretty good, and then I got my next car - my first Mustang.
