I purchased this 1966 Mustang back in 2005. An older fellow used to own it and parked it in 1997. It was under a tarp and collected water and started to rust. I think I saved it just in time. Info on the car: -302 ci engine bored .40 over -Edelbrock Torquer II aluminum highrise -Edelbrock 1406 4 bbl carburetor -T5 transmission from a 93 Mustang -Hooker longtube headers -2.5" stainless steel exhaust -Flowmaster 1 chamber exhausts dumped -Mineral Gray paint from 2004 Mustang -2005 Mustang wheels For more photos and to view my Restomod gallery visit: wwww.TexasStang.com

@minter66 iwas wondering what you had to do to get the 16" 05 up v6 wheels on the car ? ihave the same car and wheels but i dont know the best way to put em on did u use spacers if so what thickness any info would be greatly appreciated thanks
That sure is a pretty sound. It brings tears to my eyes 'cause it reminds me of my 97 Cobra with Borla's and Bassani x pipe.
@ElRey69
Junkyard specials!! I believe they came out a Saturn SC2 or SC3

Sorry man, the only way this car is going away is if it gets totalled...which I drive maybe 1000 miles a year...doesn't see the road much.
Awesome seats. What are those?
hey thats a good restoration. is it up for sale?
@weroo54597
I haven't kept a full tally, as of this video posting, I probably spent around $7000 total including the car (was $1200) and the engine ($1400). Since this video the car has had a brand new suspension installed (1" lower), 4 wheel discs from a 2007 GT (12.5"/11.65" rotors) installed and new Vintage Venom wheel adapter kits which allow me to run my 2004 Bullett Wheels. Someday I'm going to not be lazy and make a new video...

Actually we sprayed it in the garage. We used paper drop clothes to create a dust barrier around the car and closed the doors (we used literal gas masks - full enclosure) while painting it inside. We brought out into the 110 degree Texas sun to bake it dry...Texas summers are good for something
Around how much did you spend on the project?
Did you spray that yourself in your driveway?
good job...
how much money did u drop
Nice stang bro......Don't listen to the haters on your wheels....They look great on your car!
love it
hey great vid man, love the work done!
Im wanting to do get a 1966 mustang myself and do some work to it...however im from the UK so things are a little limited down here with mustangs.
Would you be able to give me info on where to start in the us? where would be the best place to look for one and where could i get help to restomod...?
Any advice would be appreciated
Look forward to ur updated bid/pics. I have a 66 Coupe. It has an Edelbrock 600CFM 4 bbl, 289 Performer Intake, MSD ignition and Coil, R/V cam, Hooker Long Tube Headers. In the rear I've a 8 inch LSD with 3.25 gears. Its mainly a cruiser but every now and then I like to slam the pedal!

Well actually this past weekend I did my 2007 GT 4 wheel disc conversion and have 2004 GT Anthracite Wheels on there now. The 05 V6ers won't fit over the huge calipers now. So I am running the nice Torque Thrust wheels from an 04. I will get a new video up eventually, the car has changed alot
Great video of your project. I like everything about it except the rims. I think they are from a 2006/07 V6 stang. I would have put torq thruster II's on her.
thanks man ill post the pic up when it done i think i am gonna take it to champion speed and Restoration in costa mesa ca
Yeah thanks ... This is my dream car... I'll see if I can find one less than $4500.. That's a nice ride you have btw...
@DIMEBAGJIMMY426
Thanks man, it was a long hard restoration, but worth it.
@1mesterious
For free and used, it is holding up great. Synchros are doing great and it handles the horsepower this car has quite well.
@shockkwave2004
It's the flowmaster 1 Chambers (basically no exhaust ) and the hooker headers (2.5" Ceramic) that give it the deep noise.
Finally got it timed and tuned this past weekend and now it idles so low and slow that I can hear my cam turning over and I can hear the lope. I gotta get a new video up on here with all the new mods I've done to it.
@hondastar11
Thanks man!
@562bossup
See my post at the top about that. Roughly $300-$400 using all new parts
