Lets see the 'Stangs

[Fesler built]

Can you guys have whoever did not return after each picture in there post do that so this form is easy to read. It should be a standard when posting pics to return after each picture so that the form all stays to the left so you can just scroll down and not have to go sideways as well. Lets get all the pictures right so its easy to view on phones this is a pain in the %$^. Thanks guys

[NOT A TA]

Well I finally pulled my 66 Mustang out of storage! Hasn't really seen the light of day since before the internet and digital cameras became popular. I've owned it since the early 80's. Traded a worn out Monza 2+2 hatchback for it and drove it daily for years. It's outlasted everything else in my life, wives, homes, businesses, etc. It's been burglarized, a home for racoons that got into my garage, survived 2 divorces, been stolen and recovered, moved around the country, had its parts stored in 4 other locations,and yet I've still got it.

Back in the late 80's I did a valve job on it one day, drove it around the block and decided it'd look cool if I polished the timing chain housing. Before ya knew it I had the whole damn thing torn apart replacing interior stuff, exterior stuff, prepping for paint etc. The original plan almost 30 years ago was a stock appearing wolf in sheeps clothing street car, a stoplight street fighter. I built an ole school 302 30 over nitrous engne for it but got sidetracked by other things/projects and it sat.

Well I'm gonna get it back together, so I've concentrated the car and all the parts that haven't been lost or stolen in one location and I'm going to make it whole and running again. After its almost a whole car again I'll come up with a plan for the build. Since we have digital cameras and internet now heres a pic I took last week.

Where did you get the cruise control adapter for your Momo wheel?

Home Depot! I fabricated them..just got a piece of aluminum stock 1/8" x 2" I think...cut, drilled, trimmed and brush finished them out for the CC switches..they sandwich between the Momo adaptor and the wheel held by the wheel fasteners. I used longer fasteners thru the wheel for the thickness of the brackets. I trimmed out the aluminum pieces with rectangular slots where the factory CC buttons would pop in.

There are 4 pieces of aluminum actually, LH, RH (mirror images) and then a top and bottom filler, all with holes to match the Momo pattern. The RH/LS mirror approach made it easier to fabricate in the garage to ensure they came out symmetrical.. and I only had 2" stock.

As for wiring I reused the factory stuff. I got the idea from the late 90's Saleen's before the airbag wheels came in. Works great!

I just started smiling when I saw this . I have pencil crayon sketches of different stripe ideas for my Charger and this is one of them. It's nice to see it from multiple angles.

Killer car. Be sure to post pics announcing its trimphant return to the streets.

Finch- what did you do to all the window moldings? are they just painted or powdercoated?

Sweet! Does the Momo hub adapter have enough brass contacts to allow this, or did you have to modify the hub as well?

I powdercoated everything satin black.

Nice Mustangs. Finch, I love the tail light treatment on the car. It looks great, along with all of the other mods. The stance is spot on.

I think that is the first Coupe I have seen with Shelby style lights I like.
