Anytime. And you'll find out that the dist wont fit with the blower in it since it goes in the front on a Ford. They made angle adapters and such to mount them on the real thing. So it wont look so out of place if you have to mount it at an angle behind the blower belt.

yeah your right i barely have any room for a distribrator. i will prob. have to mount it at an angle. I would mount it to the right side of the engine (if you were lookin at the front of the car) right ?

If I remember correctly they point to the drivers side. Always remember when your talking about cars, your perspective is always from the drivers seat. That means left is always the drivers side and right is always the passenger side no matter what angle you are looking at the car.

You could also mount it on the front where it runs off the came like dragsters do. Here's a pic.

thanks i might have to mount it on the front. That would be a little easier than mounting it at an angle.

I'd check the exhaust against the body. Looks like they might stick out too far. NASCAR rims and slicks should make it racey lookin too.

I went back and looked at the first post. I'd put the Cragar's on it like in your first posts. They look pretty sharp on that body style.

Nice work, so far. I agree, however, on your first choice of tires and wheels. They give it a better look.

I just finished a 65 Fastback Mustang and I enjoyed it. I transplanted a fuel injected 428 in mine. Here are a couple of the "in progress" photos.DSCN1676.jpg

Can't wait to see the rest of yours.
