BTW...in 1967 or 68 my dad took (I think) a 66 Mustang 2+2 Fast back and put 59 Caddy fins on it, 63 Imperial headlights, and T-top...wish I still had that crazy thing!

Thanks, he had a blast with that ride

Tom,

Oh wow. That wouldve been a cool job. Aircraft mechanic. When I hit my first teen year there was a fellow within a mile of me with a mechanic shop and his specialty was radial engines. He was restoring an old bi-plane and had always promised to teach me the ropes. Rats if he didnt close up shop with-in a couple years and move away. Last I heard he was an airplane mechanic at the airport in Yellville. My plan if funds permit.....as much as I love these old cars......finish my truck.....and jump into airplanes.....finish getting my private license.....and finish someones ditched home built. Like the Lancairs http://www.lancair.com/Main/legacy.html and several years ago with a loan I couldve built one but today.....ouch! Guess I'll have to settle for something much cheaper. Like a homebuilt ultralite! Joke!

BTW. That'll make a tough machine.....the fast back!


Chris....thats a slick Chevy. I couldve had a 49 for a $100 a few years ago in driveable shape. Wish I had grabbed it and stored it.
