Winter Projects ?
What are you restoring / having restored this winter?
In between customer projects I plan on geting some work done on my 66 Mustang (I know that is a bad word on here). My mother bought it when I was 7. It is nothing special, 289/Auto coupe, except to me.

Re: Winter Projects ?
I just picked up a L89 optioned 1969 Camaro Big Block RS/SS car. It is a highly optioned car and looks great in garnet red with 711 base black interior.
I also acquired a stunning 1967 Shelby GT500 pro touring car. This car is amazing to say the last. Retrofitted with a 2004 supercharged SVT Cobra motor and 6 speed trans as well as full coil over suspension. The motor looks like it was born there. These are not winter projects but winter toys [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Winter Projects ?
Nice project Mike. I have restored several dozen of the 64-66 Mustangs including a couple GT350H cars and they are a pleasure to do and relatively simple (assuming the bodies are sound). Yours should look great when you get her done.
I sold all my projects due to lack of time to work on my own stuff but we have been talking about finding another 'project' car to build, even leaning towards a street rod or a Day II street machine and one we can drive the wheels off of. Time will tell.........

Re: Winter Projects ?
LOL! You guy's don't have projects, this is my winter project! Hope to have the sheet metal completed by spring. I think I am going with a more modern drive line. Just focusing on the sheet metal first.
