Way to go!! It's sitting kind of high in the front. I am guessing because there is no motor in it? If not, what a perfect place to drop a Turbo 4!! Congrats.

Yea, they improved greatly over the 71-73 boatstangs.

And yea, turbo engine in one of those would be sweet.

Looks good, I was thinking more along the lines for 460. I am not a fan of those but Im sure you could make one look good, I like the business look of this one though. Those rears look little

Well, it WOULD be good to throw a 2.3T in there. :D
 
As long as you brought up using a 460....  okay, mine is a 429, but I still like it. And this motor isn't for sale. lol.

Ah so that's the '57;)

Is that a regular (Thunderjet) 429 or a 429CJ?

Just looking for an excuse to tear down my 86' XR7 (silver car). There are quite a few parts I am wanting to take off for myself as well.
