Whats your bent? Do you prefer a "race" or "rod" style? Form over function or function over form?

Another good method for determining direction is pick any two from: fast, pretty and cheap.

Will it be your daily driver? Looks solid but they always do in pics.

Well this is my other twin son's car. I painted this car about 15 years ago. the fellow that owned it brought to my fathers business for a paint job and an interior. We did the body and paint and were waiting for a payment to finish the car and he died before we got the payment. It sat in the shop for about a year then the family decided to just come get the car without finishing the job. 15 years pass and my junk car buyer was asked to keep and eye out for a 67-70 mustang. He said he found a really nice 67 at the place he takes his junk cars to. I then went to look at it and when I got to the car I instantly recognized the car. The car had absolutly no work done to it since leaving our shop. I then traded a few abandoned cars that were left at my shop for it. Most of the missing pieces were still in our possesion. The car will be his daily driver. We have a 99 explorer 5.0 for it and a 2000 cobra front disc setup for it. It does need floorpans as it has been outside with no front or rear windows in it. Other than that it needs not much in bodywork to get ready to repaint. We have not decided on auto or stick as this is a first car. We need to make it reliable and safe as can be. We may minitub and install a slightly narrowed 9" that I bought from a member here a while back. Trying to decide on front suspension mods and wheel and tire choice. You guys feel free to give him some suggestions on color and wheel choices. The vinyl roof is coming off.
