Probably a long shot given that this is mainly an import forum, but I figured I'd give it a shot anyways.
I just picked up a 1966 mustang coupe and it's had the original 289 taken out and replaced with a 302. Picked it up for $6000.
the car is actually in pretty good shape, but obviously needs some work as well. I'm essentially looking for a reputable place that can pretty much overhaul the thing in stages over the next few years.
I'm thinking that I need a complete paint job (i.e. disassemble and not a macco paintover. disassemble the doors, trunk, engine bay, etc.), redo the interior (last owner had some horrible blue velvet in there) and finally, a complete checkup/tune up of the engine, transmission, drive train, front end, brakes, suspension, etc.
Would anybody happen to know a knowledgable and reputable place that can help me out or a more specific message board? I tried googling a few times, but came up with nothing.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
