Sweet, I have been helping a friend with his 69 mustang fastback on and off for the last few months.

northern_dave,
I sure wish you well on your new business.
In 1964 I saw one of those at the drag races. It ran like it had a 427 so a few of us went to check it out. He was running a built 289 in the low twelves! Of course we were quite curious how he ran so hard. He said, "You rev it to seven thousand at the line and dump the clutch. When the tach hits nine grand you shift."

A well built hi-po 289 is no joke.

I just leaked a little after looking at that pic. I need to go change my shorts now.
Oh I do love me some good old Ford muscle.

Holman-Moody Nascar. I can't quite see the lettering on the door but #28 has to be Fred Lorenzen's old car. I've always wanted a '64 Galaxie with a 427 NASCAR Tunnel Wedge.
Keep your gun-hand ready and your eyes peeled.

Very nice!
How are you treating the rust on the back side of the panels and inaccessible locations?

interesting thread for sure. My younger brother is having a 1963 built up in Michigan where he lives. Body off the frame, all new parts, new electrical, 4 wheel disc brakes, 390 CID 335 HP engine, factory four speed, buckets.
Should be ready in a few months.
He traded in his 1964 Fairlane Thunderbolt with the 427 and tri power.

Brings back memories Dave.....grandfather gave me a 63 1/2 Ford Galaxy 500 XL when I was a teenager. Royal Burgundy with white leather bucket seats and the Thunderbird 390 engine! Spinner hubcaps to boot!  Let me tell you......as a Senior in High School owning a car like that was a pleasure.....that huge backseat area got even bigger when the bucket seats just flipped up out of the way.....

that's good work man. I see that stuff done on TV but your pictures give me a better appreciation of just how much hard work there is on this stuff.

Marvelous, simply marvelous. I wish I had those kinds of skills.
