Fast68back

After finding this site a couple weeks ago I signed up so I could check out some of the incredible rides I have seen on this site. After spending most of last night reading the post about Bob Johnsons Cuda, I realized there are some pretty amazing people on here as well. I was truly amazed at what a down to earth guy Bob is, as well as many of that that replied to the post about his car.
My car is a 1968 Mustang Fastback that has been in my family for many, many years. My dad bought it in the early seventies with plans to drop his 427 in it and drag race it, luckily he never did. He drove it for a few years and it was stolen in the mid seventies and the car was put up in storage until 2002 when I drug it back to Texas and begin rebuilding, replacing, and restomodding it. No, it will never, ever be an Eleanor. It is the first car I can remember ever sitting in as a child, so I am very attached to this car.
Currently:
302, Holley 4 barrel, JBA headers, WC T-5, cable clutch, Currie 9" rear w/. 3:73's, Explorer rear disk brakes, 5 leaf standard springs, 7/8 rear sway bar, 13" Baer "Track" disk brakes on the front, 620 springs, rollerized spring perches, 1-1/8 front sway bar
What the future holds:
Stroked 302 (probably 347), T-5z, Hydraulic clutch, "performance" Upper and lower control arms, Adjustable strut rods, Aluminum radiator with electric fan, A/C (it is Texas), Power windows, Sport buckets, tilt wheel, some type of R&P set up or FR quick steer box, Tilt wheel, autometer gauge cluster, Kenwood/Inifinty stereo system, 17" Vintage 45's
Since my dad gave me the car I would really like to get it finished before the Power Tour 2007 and take my son and dad on it, that would be to cool...Now if I could just win the damn lottery to pay for all my drempt up ideas..
Thanks for readng and providing a site to get ideas and chat with like minded people...
Here are a couple pictures or you can see more project pictures on my Cardomain site ( I hope its OK to mention them here) http://www.cardomain.com/ride/541371
