Thought I would just introduce myself here.
I am curently working on my 67 mustang coupe.
I have owned this coupe for 20 years and bought it when I was 16. It was originally an inline 6 that always dreamed of bigger things. The coupe stayed pretty stock until I saw a Mustang Monthly with the famous Eleanor fastback on the cover and within a week I decided to make some drastic changes to the car. I bought an original kit from Cinema Vehicle Services and started the teardown. That was 5 years ago, several job changes, a couple of kids and the project is still moving forward but is still far from complete.
I posted a couple of my renderings to give an idea of the end vision. Although this is not a true "Eleanor", it is an inspired project, spawned from her. Not a SuperSnake but a SuperCoupe.
Here are my specs:
Engine and Trani:
99 Cobra 32 Valve 4.6 motor and T-45 Transmission
Aluminum Radiator and electric fan setup
Rearend:
Ford 9" w/31 spline axles, 3.7 gears

Brakes:
Front: Willwood 10.75" disks - 4 piston Dynalite calipers
Back: Wilwood disks- 4 Piston Dynalite calipers w/parking brake
Tilton pedal assembly w/dual reservoir
Wheels and Rims:
97-17" Mustang GT Rims w 255/45R17's all round
Exterior Mods:
-Cinema Vehicle Services "Eleanor" kit
-Shaved driprails
-shaved door handles
- tubbed
- Filled cowl vents
- Flush fit glass
- custom tailight panel and light assembly
- body channeled to fit over Art Morrison chassis
- smoothed firewall and engine compartment
Interior:

- classic instruments all american series 3 guage setup
- custom floor pan and carpeting
- dynomat sound barrier insulation
- 67 interior seats rebuilt and recovered to fit

Well there is my project. I'll post some updates and pictures soon of where I am at and what needs to be done.
