Well after my good buddy Tony (Nine Ball) lended me his trailer (thanks again Tony), I was able to get my 69 fastback mustang back to my house. I already got the old motor running and ready and most of the interior stripped out.
Highlights of the car
Headliner is still like new, just like the seats, (minus tear in drivers seat) Back seats are great. The car has minimal surface rust and is damn straight, besides a few door dings.
Exterior Paint
It is Lime Gold (which will be gone for Electric Green [99-01 mustangs and Cobras]
Interior
Interior is Dark Green vinyl and it is damn rare. Having the hardest time finding any more of it. THAT is getting replaced with Corbeau's and nicely done black carpet and dynamat.
Currently:
I am cleaing the whole inside out and getting it all bare for the roll cage and mini tub coming up this month. All is paid for, just need it put in. I need to remove the door and back windows just incase as well.
COOL PART!!
When I was digging around removing the carpet, I was in for a surprise. I located the original build sheets from the factory. They are pretty bad from age, but I am going to frame them anyways. My 69 was birthed on May 1968. Real EARLY 69 mustang.
Here are the pics.
sorry for the ****ty quality and shaky hand.. It was cold at 11:45 at night

Motor
What I am building at work is going to be something never really done before. 434" Ford Windsor. Naturally Aspirated looking to do 700++ on the engine dyno on PUMP GAS. I have the knowledge and most importantly people around me to help make this happen. I have a few cool things going in the car. Not getting my hopes up but the motor is going to be completely quality.
Brakes
Looking at many brake companies but was going to console in you guys to hear what you all like and prefer. Been using the search button quite a bit on that.
Suspension
Griggs Racing and Air Ride Technologies is what I am down between
Tranny
After I see how much power I am putting out, I will finalize my gearing and tranny selections. 5 or 6 speed will find its way home in the car.
Finally... WHEELS
So many to choose from. Definately going to be nice flashy and big. My friend owns Hennessey Wheels so he might be doing them, but I am never counting out I-forged, Fikse, etc from the selection.
Thanks for listening, reading, and looking. More pics to come after I get home from work. Once again sorry for the ****ty quality. Only had my camera phone last night.
