Alright guys, so I'm the proud owner of a 69 Mustang Mach 1. Here is a little back ground on me & the car. I'm 23 years old and currently live in Huntington Beach Ca. The Mustang has been in my family since about 1978 when my uncle got her as his first ride. I believe he paid about 1800 dollars. He had the car as a daily driver/ street racer taking it anywhere from Vegas to Big Sur, it went everywhere. In the mid 80's he sold her to my other uncle who unfortunately tore her apart and made a drag car out of her. She was parked in the mid 90's and negated till I finally convinced him to let it go to be brought back to life as a semi resto-mod/muscle car. Looks like for now my goal is to just get her running dependable and fix a lot of things that where done non correctly. The grizzly still has a 351 Windsor that is semi built, plans are for now to keep that and make the car drivable while I work on it. Since I'm 23 and just out of school and working the project might take some time and won't be such a high budget build! Would love any feed back or suggestions.
Cheers!
Here is my Uncle B with it in the late 70's. Notice his epic shirt and license plate! :usa: I actually still have the plates and plan to use them.

This picture is after she was torn down from stock and built into a drag car.

After I got it home and hit it with some good ol H20 she didn't clean up so bad. The original color was Red but was resprayed in the 70's. It has your typical Mustang rust in the doors and quarter panels
