I inherited my grandmothers 64.5 mustang, it’s been sitting in a field, uncovered, for as long as I can remember, around 40 years.
So it needs a lot of work, pretty much everything, has some rust holes in the front fenders, couple other small spots here and there but otherwise it’s straight.
I’ve been holding out thinking I would just save up and do it all at once, but I’ve changed my mind, I think I will do the “road kill” thing and just get it back on the road, and upgrade as I go.
So the first thing I’m going to attack is the suspension, brakes and possibly steering.
I know the easy thing to do is just slap a mustang II suspension on it, but I’m not to fond of that suspension, and wondering what recommendations you all might have. I know there are a lot of choices out there, and prices are anywhere from scary cheep to second mortgage level.
I’m curious to know if the stock stuff can be upgraded enough to make a decent driver.
I’m also really wanting to swap out the original power assisted steering for a R&P unit, wondering if any of you have a manual r&p and how it drives.
Ultimate goal is to have a car that drives and handles like a modern sports car, 5-600 hp and a manual trans.
Thanks
