Grumpy Old Fart
So, some of you may be familiar with my project 83 mustang; Cheap Thrills. I've reached a crossroads with it (can be running soon) and I find myself wanting to change directions.
So, ambitious project time: I want to find a rotted out 65-67 Mustang fastback/2+2, strip the fox body work off my 83 and graft the 65-67 body on to it.
It's not a small project, but it's not the first time it's been done either. Google "SN65" if you want to see the most known one.
What I need is some old rust-bucket not worth saving. Something that is so rotted out it makes you want to think about getting a tetanus shot just from being in the same postal code. I don't want something "save-able" as a 65-67 Mustang i don't want to cut up a decent or half decent 65-67.
It doesn't need floors, drivetrain, interior, frame, axles, suspension, steering, electrical, etc. It just needs a body, could even be riddled with rust, I can repair that. Heck, it can be missing lots body and trim parts as these Mustangs have every piece re-popped these day. But the more trim, lights. glass and body parts still there, so much the better. It can be buried half way up the doors in mud from sitting for 30 years, I can even work with that. About the only thing that would turn me off is if the car is literally bent in half from slamming into a pole or torn right to rat poop in an accident or something.
I actually had a line on a couple 60's cougars (what I was originally going to use for the body swap), but one guy decided he didn't want to sell and the other, well, lets just say cougars and excavators don't mix....
So if you have an old parts mule, one rusting int eh back feild or know of one rotting away in teh woods somewhere, let me know and I'll see what I can do to bring it back to life and have some fun building it at the same time.
