I want to buy a mustang and redo one can someone please tell me how i can learn?
 

Hello, this is actually my first post so i will tell you some quick info on me. I am 18 years old and im a senior in high school. my parents own a ford dealership and all i can ever get is demos. they won't give me my own car and i usually drive trucks. but what i want to do is buy an older mustang like between 65-75 and redo it. we also own a body shop so painting it won't be too hard but to learn how to do the rest i will need help with. it will be doing this mainly on my own cause i don't want to involve the dealship i want to prove to them that i can do someone with cars w/o their help. so if any of you know of any way i can learn out of a book or anything please help.
and so can you tell me about how much of an investment i am making if i get a mustang of that year like how much it will cost to buy a decant one and how much extra should i spend on parts? like at least how much money should i have to start this prodject?

Thanks

join some old mustang clubs in your area...it is best to know the 'profesionals'
also pick up a bunch of back issues to mustang world, muscle mustangs etc...they have good info. car shows are the best place to meet fellow mustang men! ps...if you know anyone who wants a 98-- let me know http://www.mustangworks.com/interact...board/wink.gif

Buy lots and lots of mustang magazines and get a supply catalog. These contain many helpfull ideas and tricks of the trade.

DSS 306 w/ main support...Elderbrock 6028 heads..gt-40 intake..24# injectors...70 mm tb..77 pro-m...accel 300+..mac full legnth..tremec w/ pro5oh...full MAC exhaust,off road h-pipe,long tubes, catback...ron davis radiator..subframes, control arms...CFDF II..o yea holley FPR sucks..dont buy one..

I think to do everything right you will need at least $8000. A decent classic and it's parts costs a fair dollar. IMO your better off buying a 87-93 5.0. Good Luck!
