Hello,
New guy here from Northern California, researching the rebuilding of a car a friend of mine built in 1976-77, that I helped with. We were both 17 years old then.
It is a '65 Mustang coupe that we stuffed a Econoline straight axle under and dropped a tunnel-rammed, gear driven 383 Chrysler in, backed with a 4-speed and spinning a 9 inch with 4.56's
The car was a lot of fun, very fast and the stuff of legend.
It disappeared for nearly 30 years....
and we found it last week.
My buddy has his old hot rod at home again, and while it is going to take time, we are going to return it to it's former glory.
I like all things go-fast, including boats. I wrote a story about the car..what it was, how we found it, etc. it is here with some pics if you'd care to read it.

This is a great forum for my favorite style of hot rodding. I look forward to learning all I can to take it back to my friend (not computer friendly) so we can bring the car back to life with some new pieces.
