BenM Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Thanks,I have a 95 Rio Red coupe. h/c/i exhaust, all the usual goodies. I also have a fully restored 1966 coupe. I've owned the 95 since 1998, and I bought the 66 unrestored in 2010. Looking forward to checking out the forum.Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Psychorugby Posted September 28, 2015 Moderators Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 Welcome! What are the details on the 66? I've got an emberglo GT that's in need of a second restoration to fix the mistakes of my youth haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenM Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 I'll post some pictures of both cars when I get home tonight. The 66 is a standard C code coupe, I initially set out to make it a driver but it quickly snowballed into a sandblast to bare metal full nut, bolt and wire restoration. It is not the original color but is an original 60's ford color of Nightmist Blue, 289 was freshened up with afr heads, a 4 bbl holley, aluminum radiator and a roller cam conversion. Tri-y headers with a magnaflow exhaust system. Torqthrust D wheels, a Shelby hood, and an R style front apron but it retains the bumper. Grab-a-track suspension all around and disk brakes up front. I would like to put the holley efi system and a manual rack and pinion steering system in it at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to redo a few things on mine - install new fuel system, reinstall 8in rear end as the 9in is causing wheel fitment issues I don't want to look at anymore, Shelby A-arm mod, lowering blocks in the rear, reinstall stock hood, button up crap in the interior I never finished... then try to not to care that the "brand new" paint job sucks and the engine compartment needs to be thoroughly cleaned.

BenM Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Yeah I still have little odds and ends, but I lucked out and got a great paint job and my body guy did good with alignment. The car hasn't seen rain or a hose since restoration. I just dust it and spot clean area that get road grime. I did all of the work except final body work and paint. The way I see it, is it wouldn't be as much fun if all you had to do is drive it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
