robert's 65 mustang

Hi Im Robert i work at Subaru in billings and this is my ride, its a 1965 fastback mustang the first year of the "fastback" i got the car with the paint on it now and it not the best looking job but looks good at 6ft. haha. the car was a inline 6 car with a 3speed and 4 lug drums all the way around, i have converted the front brakes to 5 lug discs and got a 8" for rear with 5lug drums, the drums are not going to be on the car for long... i will be installing discs on the back with 4 pistons up front soon. i hope to have the car on the road this summer!!! and i prob will not be rocking the gt rims for long jest thought it look good to roll it around on..

Looks like a great start. Nice work so far. Keep the updates coming.

removed the heater box and installed a block off plate

When all your goodies show up you had better call me. I want to see this bad boy in person!

will do mr.Card

Yay, how long do I have to wait? Hopefully the weather will be much nicer than it is now and I will take you for a ride in the Dragon.

that would be sweet!!! should be shipped by end of the week.

I just looked at the weather forecast for the next 10 days and it said rain and snow until next Saturday. Why do they even make a forecast that far in advance? There is no way it is going to rain and snow for over a frickin' week.

Hopefully by the time the goodies show up the weather will clear up.
