I had the lower stripes on the 68 but didn't put them back on when it got repainted..I removed the rocker trim this time and thought the stripes would look out of place..

It looks great.

I painted it in my booth, but a friend of mine gets credit for the bodywork.

Here’s the other vid.
Learned a couple things from this vid. Brake lights aren’t working and I have to clean my driveway. ::)
Just shows I have old cars. ;D
Oh yeah one more thing. I can’t go any lower.

Thought I’d comment on the injection since some of you guys may consider it.
Is it more difficult than a carburetor? Yes. If you consider building wiring harnesses hard. I don’t. I actually had a great time doing it. It takes longer than doing a carb system but the amount of learning you get is, well, a lot.
And is it worth it in the end. Heck yes. The car actually started the first time before I expected it to. The tuning part of it is a lot to learn but if you go through the procedures in the manual it becomes clearer. I don’t have it all down yet but my car is sounding/running wonderful.
Just take your time and work through each section.
And it looks spectacular under the hood.
It also doesn’t hurt to have the mind of Mr. Brown on the other end of the phone. Thank you Jay.
And I’ll say it again.
I’m an idiot 8)
If I can do it, anybody can do it.

Big thumbs up here  8) 8)  That car looks and sounds awesome!

The soundtrack definitely does not match the video of an early Mustang fastback rolling by...
A careful study of failure will yield the ingredients for success.

Looks great, Marc! Bet it feels good to finally drive it. I just took mine around the block for the first time in 4 years from what was supposed to be a mild rebuild of a tired old 390... ::)

Thanks guys, it feels great to get it done.
What’s next is going to center on the Fairlane. I’ve got a BBM block sitting here and a 4.375 forged crank. The possibilities are many.
