1968 Mustang Coupe

[jfoster]

I'll check with you when I get back from the Silver Springs show this weekend. You going?

I entered my car but the engine is out. I had water in the oil so were are going to freshen it up for this season. The short block was over 10 years old.

Looks like a 428CJ. Are you going to stroke it while you are at it?

It is a 428 and the rules do not allow you to stroke it.

I'm waiting for it to get back to the shop so that I can come take a look at it. Let me know when!

I will have my 68 Coupe at the shop Saturday afternoon.

[jfoster]

Thanks for the heads-up. Are you open on Saturday?

[rusty428cj]

I usually work on Saturdays but sometimes work on our projects in our shop here at the house. I would be glad to meet you on a Saturday.

[jfoster]

I'd hate to make you go there just to meet me. If you know what time you'll be there this Saturday, shoot me a PM and I'll make sure to be there.

Great build you've got going.
We've got the same suspension kit on our project.

I now have it back at the shop and one of the first things I need to do is work on the front spoiler.



I narrowed the fiberglass bumper so it fits tighter to the body. Another problem I had was to much gap on the right side where it met the quarter extension so I had to extend it.

It looks good. I'm glad you got it back so we can get some more updates.

[CruizinKev]

Keep up the great work!

Gents, I saw this car in person. Rusty and Brian do great work. I am sending my 65 Fastback to him as soon as I can get it on a cart and ready to go.

[jfoster]

Yes, I also had the pleasure of meeting these guys and checking out some of their work. Nice! Best of all, they are real car guys.

Kennedy - might have to fight my 68 for a spot in their shop if you don't hurry! lol.

[rusty428cj]

Thank you Chris and Jeff it was a pleasure meeting you and we look forward in helping you anyway we can.

[rusty428cj]

I finally got a little time to work on my Coupe's rear bumper. I did not like all the gaps. I narrowed it and extended the ends to meet the end caps.

Love the coupe, looks great.

The 390 doesn't look very good now

Excellent project but are you going to use the heavy 390 or Update the hood and have a Excellent Sleeper

I like the FE engines since I have raced them since 1969 winning a lot of races and setting 6 National records. It won't be a stock 390!!
