i also would like a link to

replacing rails etc.

wow, to pay that kind of $

it would have to have matching #'s

and i'd have to see them in person

iowa

i took the driveshaft out of the automatic coupe

and it was the 50+ inch one.

does someone have the shorter one that i could trade

for, to use it in my K car?

this is no ordinary restoration

this is masterclass work!

i can't imagine the time, effort, and K$$$$ involved.

great work

great pics

the 66 is practically free

and i plan to look at each part

and use only if identical.

the floor is not as bad as i thot,

so will try and save as much of the original

metal as possible.

i'm trying to figure out what happened to this car.

i think it was picked up by a fork lift,

with the forks perpendicular to the front and back of car,

and the rear ends of the front rails

got pushed up thru the rotten floor!

whoo!

the car is totally striped now

except for the steering gear box

and steering linkage;

can't find my pitman arm puller?

plan to build a metal frame under car

to square it up,

weld supporting braces in,

put it all on a rotisserie,

blast it,

and then start replacing metal.

d

i have available,

a '66 six cylinder coupe.

would this be an acceptable source

if it has a fairly solid floor,

or were these six's built with

different gauge of sheetmetal?

thanks

iowa

yes, i learned that long ago

and it has saved me many times.

i know there will some special 'K'

things i will need to save.

i found an article on sheetmetal

in the march issue of 'mustang monthly'

which talks about all the new sheetmetal

which is available now,

but it didn't mention how close to the

original that these were.

iowa

i'll wait so more before deciding

will give me time to look for parts car

and research the posts about the repro floors

while i remove old floor in my k car

thanks
