Default Bought the car I had as a kid - 68 coupe

This was my first car - and my moms car before that. She bought it in 1981 and it was originally purchased from Grant Ford.

It's in pretty bad shape. Planning on getting it and my fastback blasted and primed - then start sheetmetal repair

Originally was a straight 6. I put a 289 and C4 in it back in the day. Now I have the original 3-speed tranny and I6 for it, but I don't think I'm going to use it Maybe a turbo I6?

I really don't know wtf I am going to do now. It's a Mustang graveyard at my house..and wouldn't you know - perfect timing....I just got word that a certain 93 coupe might be for sale - when it rains, it pours.
