My very first car was a 1969 fastback. they're still my all-time favorite cars. is this the one that was for sale on craigslist a couple weeks ago? Post pics.

Yeah man, post updates as the car comes along. I'd love to own another '69 someday but for now I'll just live vicariously through your build up. LOL.

They will blast and epoxy prime the car. They can also handle any sheet metal work that you might have. Tell them Jeff with the 68 coupe told you about them.

Jeff, Those guys at Gillis are GREAT people, and certainly know their old Fords. REALLY good people.

This is Rusty's car. He's owned the car since almost new, and it's been a drag car it's whole life.



Unfortunately it's hard to see in the pics, but the paint job flips in the middle. If you notice the rear decklid, how half is red and half is blue. The other car is a mirror image of this side, with the blue and red reversed. He did all of the body and paint work.
