    That '66 is really in good shape! My suggestion: you be you. It's your car, your choice of what you want it to be. I'm just gonna sit right back, keep hitting the "like" button, and enjoying the show!😎🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

    Given it's already disassembled, I'd have the chassis dipped to eat the remaining rust. Nice chassis to start a project with given its a Mustang

    • @Thomas63r2
      @Thomas63r2 24 дні тому +3

      This! Definitely have it dipped before you start building it back, give yourself a good foundation. Before you make any hard decisions on your end goal, spend your time doing one of the things you do well - give it a great body. If you want to keep with the honest theme then leave it as a coupe. Given the blank canvas that it is you might as well update the brakes and suspension with one of the excellent modern systems. Since you are keeping this on a modest budget, no reason to go too nuts on the drivetrain - just a simple healthy 347 and a 5 speed manual trans. If it were mine I would install a/c so that it could be enjoyed all the time.

  • @DonaldDolph-ob8yv
    @DonaldDolph-ob8yv 24 дні тому +2

    I agree, it's a good find. I think it would be best if you just restore it for the most part. I'd upgrade the brake system to a dual reservoir disc brake vehicle. I saw on another channel for an aftermarket front suspension that eliminated the shock tower. You probably have heard of this modification, but maybe this would be more than you'd like to do to with this car? In any case I'll definitely be following along with this new project.

I'd go so far as to say a 70's paint job. maybe some huge metal flakes...old school cragers...maybe a custom stripe....kinda like the starsky torino stripe.....but there I go thinking again...LOL Have a good one.

      @@HotRodGuyGarage I think it depends where the car has lived most of it's life. I have a '66 Barracuda that spent all it's life in the south part of Alberta, Canada where I live, and that thing was almost rust free when I bought it because of the hot summers, and because of the fact that this area doesn't use salt on the roads in the winter time. It also helped that the previous owners put rust proofing underneath the car. Where the car has been sitting for decades has a bearing; If the car was sitting on pavement most of it's life, that will reduce the risk of floor rot, whereas, if the car has been sitting on dirt for decades, that will increase the risk of floor rot.
