Fastback arrives tomorrow
car arrives tomorrow, only thing that sucks is that they have to drop it at the end of my street and I'll have to push it down to my house (trans problem won't allow it to drive). It's on a full size carrier and they can't get down the street due to the trees in the way.... Either way, it'll be in my garage tomorrow night!

I saw that you posted and thought we would have pictures lol. Keep us posted 
Sorry I missed you at Track Night. I only ended up running twice, It was depressing not even getting close to the times the car was capable of.

It's Here!
Just got it dropped off this afternoon, pictures to be posted up when I get home...
She's a little rough around the edges, but the body is straight and pretty much rust free (save for a floor pan, which I have waiting to be welded in).

Congrats! I like that body style.
I've had mine 11yrs now and if we have kids I plan on passing it down. I was older than your son when my dad had his 69 Chevelle, but I loved riding in it.

I've wanted a 69-70 mustang since I was about 14.. I just sat out in the garage the other night and just looked at it with a big stupid smile on my face...

ya that's it. i'll be picking it up soon. what i'm going to do is pull the heads and polish the head chambers to get 3-4cc more. that should drop me down to 11.3 to 1 or so. i'll try that on pump gas.

I believe mine is somewhere around 10.5 to 1, but not for sure. All I know is that I have to run 93 octane. I've tried 89 and it diesels when I shut it off, bad! I had to leave it in gear just so it would shut off.
