1969 Mustang Fastback GT 351 W 4 speed

Hard to beat "arrest me red" on a Mustang.

LOOKIN' GOOD!

May have to peel the paint off my yellow Mach, and spray it red. Nah, stripe kits are too expensive.... come to think of it, so is paint.

Getting it back home tomorrow...he sent some teaser pics today...gotta paint the Deck Lid, and buff it, and bolt it back on....

Looking John! Bet you can't to get her back together.

Now, there is incentive. How can you not want to put it back together!

Deck lid on, back home,tucked away in the garage...

Looks like it turned out good.

I have some touch up, and gotta get it back together....lots of good stuff gonna happen in the next month or so....

Looking good! Cannot wait to see this one.

got my spiffy gas cap on...try to do 1 thing to it a day....

I was just noticing said "spiffy gas cap". My 69 has one on it that is a GT cap, but it doesn't have the circle of "gear teeth" around the perimeter.... I'm thinking mine is a 67 cap on a 69.... fits like a glove though. Nice car.

they said some did some don't just depends on where was made go figure it's a Ford.

You got it, ford did whacky stuff depending on where it was and what was on hand.

Restored the GT Chrome Centered wheels, I got 2 new tires, I need 2 more, 205=what came on it new, I need 2 more new ones, think I will go 215 or 225 in the rear, the 14" look small compared to the 15" "shelby" wheels that were on it...

I always thought the 14's looked small on both my 69's- so when I redid one, I upgraded to 15", 215/70 front and 245/60 rear. Of course I had big block springs in the front, and an extra leaf in the rear. Looks much improved with the 15's. Ya did a nice job on those wheels!

Wheels look good on her.

Those look very nice on the GT...that's just a sweet Mustang!

Time to start the finishing touches on her, for now...time to drive it.....So over the next two weeks, going to wrap it up....

Got the windshield trim on, tail lights in, new bumper on, also installed a NEW holley I had working on getting lights, gas gauge and all working.....

I found a ragtop sitting at a garage here in Newport the other day. It's looks like one someone is getting ready to put some time into it to get it back on the road. It's funny you use to be able to buy these things super cheap. Now you don't even see them anymore.

That thing looks pretty slick.  It's about my fovorite year of all the Mustangs. It just needs a few more CID.

Hey Falconwagon....for some reason I can't seem to send any PM's from this location.  I was wondering if you had late model 15" Ford rims that'll fit on the white Falcon.  I picked up a pair of aluminum rims for my 56 wagon but I might want to put them on the front of the old white four door for a while.  If I do, I'll have to find a paiir of 15's for the rear.  I tought at one time you posted something about cleaning house out there.  You wouldn't need 15" rims since ll those little Falcons run 13's or 14's, they don't use a manly size rim. 

No 15" wheels doug...ya adding some slicks????

Got a few more hours....now to start to put the back seat back in.....

Tips are a little long aren't they? Is it just the angle of the shot?

Angle....I will be changing them to angle cuts....sooner than later....
