Hi I'm a NEWBIE Here!

FASTBACK BOY · March 17th, 2009, 09:58 PM

Hi folks i'm new here. But I'm not new to Mustangs. I have owned one since 1989 when I bought my first NEW car, 1990 GT hatchback. In 95 it got stolen and with the ins check I got a 91' GT hatchback.Did some mods to it (headers,exaust,under drive pullys,mass air,K&N filter) she was quick. Had it till 99 and traded it in for a used 94' vert(what a mistake that was).But I drove it for 3 years. Durning that time I saved every penny I could and in the summer of 2002 I traded it in and with the cash I had saved up I bought a 03"SVT Cobra #1839. MAN what a car. Thought I would keep it for ever, but as luck would have it I ran into a guy with a superb 68' Fastback. The car I fell in love with when I was a wee lad. My Uncle had a red 67' GT fastback 4 speed when I was a kid (7 or 8 yrs old) and would give me rides up and down the block,so I have been a lover of the 67' 68' fastback ever since. and when this one came along I had to have it. I sold the 03' and bought the 68' (and no regrets believe it or not) not nearly as fast as the Cobra but I love it more and have more fun with it. No one wants to pull up and race any more and I thats fine by me(it got real old), but I get a lot more complements on the Fastback. It was redone about 15 yrs.ago so it's time for a freshing up, new paint this fall and I have spent what I had left over from the sale of the 03' to buy all new NOS chrome exteior parts ie..back up light housings, side markers, turn signal housings,door handles & buttons.and all the chrome trim(ebay is a great place, but EXPENSIVE!!!!) As soon a I figure out how to post pics I will.Well I hope you all will have some answers when I need them(and I'm sure I'll need them). Sorry for the long read but when I get to talking MUSTANGS I kind of go a little crazy

It has a 67 hood on it

Looks really nice too.

FASTBACK BOY · March 18th, 2009, 11:37 AM

Thanks! Yea,the hood is a 67'. I have a turn signal hood for it ready to paint as well as a real 68' GT grill built from all nos parts. I don't know about the fog lights it has now maybe some was trying to go the cheap route, they don't say ford on them anywhere.They are all plastic bodys. I am also replacing the sail panels because some knuckelhead put speakers in them, I found some on orginals ebay that have NO PITS!!!!
