restoring a 66 coupe.....

Power · 04-27-2001, 11:55 PM

My dad has never even seen my car except Pics. He and I are separated by the Pac ocean. I wish I could have him help me with some of my car problems. There is no replacement for experience. As for your book, I'm not sure what to recommend, as I always use my imagination when doing work on a car. I used to be a custom fabricator for audio systems and interior cosmetics. I was never a gearhead though so one book I simply cannot live without is the infamous Chiltons manual. If you already have that then you are good to go. Let your imagination do the rest.

PS - What blue is your car. Mine is Arcadian Blue with light blue interior. I've already started by masking and spraying the dash and kicks gloss black. I've pulled off the door panels for templates and replacing with 2-tone Leather Panels made from shaped fiberglass. Eventually it will be black and gray inside and either black or DARK purple outside. I'm leaving the motor alone till I get to Texas. Geez, I gotta update my sig.

------------------
1966 Baby blue Coupe, 289 w/ man. 3-speed, nothing special but the fact that it is my first mustang. I am a former import guru....no more.

I've never run it except on the street, it has new wheels & tires, new exaust, and that about covers it. Looking to change a lot in the future including engine. Any ideas are appreciated.
