My 68 GT/CS
I'll use this thread to chronicle the resurrection of my 68. Here's how she sits today. This is a crappy cellphone pic, but my painter promised to get me some better pics tonight.
More to come....

HP numbers are good and all, but they are like asking someone how much they can bench. What difference does it make if I can still kick your ass?

I agree with Ben. I love the '68 Mustangs. I used to have one back around 1990-91.

If the market were better I'd seriously considering switching from the old Vette to doing a "resto-rod" on an old Mustang like this. the GT-350 in particular remains one of my all time favorite cars, so something that design direction, with Coyote, etc.

They are cool cars they just are missing something for me to really lust after them.
Are you just going to restore it or mod it as well?

I can't ever leave one of my cars stock. I always modify them.
Plans are a 347 stroker with Holley 174 blower and AOD transmission. The front has coilovers. It has subframe connectors, under rider traction bars, limited slip diff w/4.10 gears. I might put rack and pinion steering in it. I still haven't decided. I have big sway bars for front and rear.

What do you like about that 174 so much? It's cool, but not so effecient compared to modern designs.  Or do you just love the look and the extra lope that comes that setup?

I like the look and it makes more than enough power with that engine. For the money I paid, you can't beat it. I don't know what you mean about extra lope. I didn't really have that. It was actually pretty tame.
