This is my buddys 68 stang. He bought it for cheap. We got it running and stopping, and then tore it apart. It had been rear ended and the PO beat it to death and drilled holes to pull out the quarter panel. We welded the hole in the VERY thin metal the PO left us with, massaged the quarter, plate welded the sub frame where it was cracked and are now in process of body filler.
This is NOT the way to do it, but it is intended for a 16 year old boy, and the PO left us a ***** bucket.
The floor pans were welded in primarily by a 15 and a 16 year old. A great place to learn.
thats one handsome cowboy right there, i have to show the wife tonight,she will love this.
Thanks, yes he is cool. I was out of my seat and almost over the fence at his last ride. As the sheep did a header/front barrel roll, he held onto his rope the whole way thru it.
a basic generic Auto parts shop will have more parts than you need for $25.
This sounds promising and I appreciate the advice, however I have never done a rebuild. How do I figure out what generic parts I need? I guess the obvious answer is to ask the guy/gal at the parts store, but I don't have a lot of confidence he/she will have a reasonable amount of knowledge and experience with carbs.

FYI.....That's an "early" 68 built before February 15, 1968. Early models have the stamped recess for the rear side marker light. Afterwards, they were sourced from the Cougar and were surface mounted.
It was done as a cost cutting measure due to the loss of production because of the UAW strike. My 68 has a build date of December 22, 1967 and was probably stuck on the assembly line.... it has the pillar pads but lacks the pads on the lower part of the dash.
Frankie can't climb worth a crap, when she does climb she looks like she's scaling Everest. So I decided to put her basket in the backyard tree and now she has her own birds nest with deck. It's not unusual for me to come out at 2 a.m. to wake her up and bring her in. Anybody else with a cat that can't climb more than 8' high in a tree.

My cat Sally is the roof rabbit around here. Now that Danny built a 2 car garage, she can go from my place to the commercial alley without touching the ground, 8 houses.
