What are your plans?Looks like a nice soild chassis!:tup
Most of the changes since that pic are mechanical but I started on the body this past summer but have no new pics. The back end is a 1988 Fox chassis which I welded in complete from a old LX coupe I had. The width of the Fox is almost the same at the wheelwel seams ( 1/2 in difference) just welded 1967 outer wheel wells onto the Fox inners so to match the '67 1/4 panels. I did get new doors skins and a new standard hood and a new (used) trunk lid that was trimmed to look better with '65 T bird lights with '64 bezels. This spring I'll get new fenders as these are just a bit too cheesey. The car is pretty much full primer now. Runs turns stops. I need to do a bit of fuel tank work as the original Fox tank pickup is too deep for the carbed setup and starves at idle I'll have to get an older pre EFI tank. The tank I have is almost new so I'll probably sell it and buy a carb pick up tank It has a Taurus R&P in it Granada front brakes and will get a 5 lug axle conversion out back ( ala Ranger/Aerostar axle) Got a set of glass packs for a Shelby side exhaust and it will get painted like the Terlingua car. Car is in storage as I need to install all the window gear after doing door skins so it's tarped in my drive shed for the winter. It will be rough and loud! just like the race car! |

Classic owners unite!
Mine is a 1970 model 63B (SportsRoof Deluxe). Bought spring '74 w/ 32,437 miles & still under factory warranty. Always thought it was an unusual car; kinda plain (no scoops, spoilers, stripes) but good stuff where it counted. M code, FMX, Handling Suspension, PS, PDB & Fold Down for starters. Ford built only 6464 63Bs for '70; all the BOSS 9s & a healthy # of BOSS 2s started as 63Bs. Marti confirmed my suspicions; it is the only 1970 w/ it's list of options. The classic Mustang remains the best of all. Can't attach a pic (too large?) & don't know how to post within the forum write box.

hello all, I have just ( if u count a project that is taking a few yrs!) put a 351 w into a 67 fastback. Has powersteering, any suggestions for ceramic headers? - clay

hello there, Just joined this site today. Not really to sure how to navigate it yet. Live in Waterloo, Ont. Working on an 1967 fastback, thought id change out the motor to something a little more hairy, at the same time doing full body and paint. Have the car running but wondering if anybody has real life experience putting ceramic long headers into this car?
