My newest project....

one owner 289/c4 car, gonna me my kids when she turns 16 in 4 years. needs some tlc, has all the bumpers, trim etc, also has the other new frt fender and 2 new quarter panels. has a good bit of rust underneath so when i get started it will get totally torn apart and new floors put in it. I ll do some frame connectors, cal tracs...... get it sittin low and redo all the front suspension. Motor will just be a simple rebuild w a nice rumpity cam, 289 torker intake, 600 holley dp, old school valve covers etc. Beef the c4 a bit, toss the 2.73 open carrier for a 3.50 and a posi. Pretty much the same combo The grande was a million years ago. Solid high 13 second pumpgas driver ride.

IN 4 YEARS vvvvvvvvvvvvvv what it should look like....



in reality what it will be  vvvvvvv



Jon you know this to be truth!!! lol

And if those guys don't have it....Old Dominion mustang has an entire junkyard full of cars.

Nice take lots of pics and keep us updated!

did a burnout in it today......

Video proof please?

lol was a spur of the moment deal, was driving it over to my buddys to store it in his shop until I get mine cleaned out.... road was wet so I stopped in his driveway and lit up the one wheel peel.......

Sounds like fun. We used to see who could lay the longest one. I believe a guy with a 460 in an LTD got us by 300 yards. That b**ch would burn forever.

I will paint the converter pink for her!!

Nice project Jon. I miss my '68 everyday. Hope to do a falcon or mustang with my daughter.

Did you trade her Jr.Dragster project in on it?? She should be the envy of all the high school boys when you get that done for her!! Cool that your keeping her old school!!!    

Jon,

I think you should reconsider Pink for HER car. Can you imagine an ego tripping high school boy getting his ass drug by a girl in a pink Mustang? Priceless!!!!!

this is true, but I may wanna drive it some so no cando......

Flat pink hErO paint. Lol

Jon when I paint my 69F100 the 1st time my youngest daughter wanted it pink after I told her she could have it when she turn 16 but just couldn't see it but she likes the blue we picked out at the time. I glad my Dad gave her a car so I kelp my truck   

Before you think pink.....think resale.   Not many Mary Kay sales reps looking for classic cars.  

Don't think pink. Consider it really light red.

I see this car getting the turds motor in it and Jon have a toy for a few years.
