Same thoughts had crossed my mind when the 05-06 Legacy GT with the factory boost setup came out.

There is a 6 speed version that would have been more fun. 😁

I had thought of this before Hoonigan ever made one.

 
That sounds like Fun NOS. They make a 6 speed transmission controller now im waiting on the 10 speed transmission controller to be released my My current project build. I would like to have a nice. Power plant in the Outback Mustang.  I guess I could always add a whicked turbo or twin turbo. The reason I had this idea I got quite bored and was researching reading. Plus I'm going to definitely build a fastback after I finish building my Coupe. No body knows the good news that I'll be building another Mustang but im pretty happy. Plus I noticed that the Fastback quarter door structure for 65-66 went down $500. That makes its the same price at the 67-68 sides. So now they around $1,500 a side.

Remember these?

 
I have saw a mustang at the local car show that had that installed.

We should make a list of dealership FORD or one of the dealerships brands for Mustang Add ons.  I found a list a while ago that showed Actual FOMOCo # for a 1965- I can't remember what year but Coupe rear interior quarter armrests. Looking at the drawings and also seeing a Cougar interior I think that's what couldve been an option for Mustangs. Just now thinking  i thought. Hmm I guess I could buy spare interior 1/4 trim panel and modify them to my liking.

Does anyone here have a 1965-66 Mustang with an 8 track player in the dash?

It’s a nicely executed modification.
The price includes the replacement tail panel.

I actually like the replacement lens for stock housing, just not the price.


 
I actually didn't realize that there's flush fit lenses I like those. I made some transparent smoke gray lenses but I have to remake the one. I had them made so they were counter sunk then I thought I'll heat the plastic more and make the transparent smoke gray lense more raised and it didn't look right. I think that was due to it not being totally flush like your lenses. Otherwise I wouldve liked them.

It would be interesting to know if the panel is an overlay or if it needs to be welded. I havent read the instructions on the company's website. I would want a fuel filler cap. I've been debating buying another taillight panel and customizing it or buying the few odds and ends it takes plus time and fabwork for a 1967 taillight panel swap. I've seen in on a 1965 in pictures on a different mustang forum years back.

The kit that I posted use to be cheap. It was like $60 or $70 for the kit.  For me I don't mind the looks of the taillights personally I think they'd look better with trim. I wouldn't ever remove the gas filler cap.

No this is not a Mustang that I've been building. The pictures were copied from the link.

Lol are you watching me Steve? How did you know I found a new beer recently?
I'm always looking out for a new beer. I like summer Shandy goes great with lemon. And it's even better on tap.
I also found another beer. Utah finally changed liquor laws so instead of having 3.2 we not have full strength like the most other states. beer for say bud or Miller we had 3.2. But for our local breweries Utah had less restrictions or something so they could be full strength 5.2, or a hefty 7.0 beer.

On the Outback Mustang thought I was thinking it would be neat to have AWD.

I want to get some special bezels made for to go around the taillight lenses.

FYI Ford, Classic Mustang Tech Discussion » 2015 Ecoboost Mustang » 3/03/2024 6:14 AM

I found the stainless 50th anniversary trim hopefully I'll be able to buy it this time around locating it. My car is otherwise completely blacked out. I also would like to add the matching tail lights and then get the special edition none GT deck lid filler panel. It's similar to GT 50TH but it's a variation.

I'm going  to remove the complete metal dashboard that's in my 1965 mustang. I'm considering a a late model mustang  dashboard swap. Plus I'd like to us the heater box that goes with the dashboard I choose like a 2015 Mustang Dashboard.

Anyone install a newer model rear seat in a 1965-1966 coupe Mustang? Or has anyone installed a folddown backseat In a 1965-1966 Mustang Coupe?

Paint & Body » A outback mustang » 3/03/2024 4:19 AM

2015 and newer outback are the same 107 wheelbase. Or axle center to center as early mustangs. They also use now 5 on 4.5 lugbolt pattern.  I was thinking it would be neat to build a 1965-1966 fastback with new quarter door structure kits I found. And use a 2015 or newer subaru outback as my floor and chassis frame.

Why not have the mega fuse or similar mounted below the battery tray?  I'm  going to do the same for my mega fuse or similar up for suggestions for the fuse for the 3G alternator. Ill give a shout out Thank you Bullet Bob For the Great Help on wiring. With the electric choke and LED upgrade to the stock Cluster. I need to look back and get the new for get the electronic devices name that was suggested to replace the gauges CVM?..sorry dont mean to highjack the thread. But I would like to add a center console to my car. With gauge or gauges like fuel with idiot light. I wish there were better options on gauge clusters especially now that there are the Screen Whatever Gauges in the new Mustangs. But im surprised it doesnt give the option for tons of different gauge displays. But in lED or similar display giving classic gauges, to modern types of displays and read out information.

I also added a postitive lug that goes through the fender apron. So I could mount my fuse to it and then to the alternator. The self exciting 3g kit came out or I found it after I had purchased the 64 1/2 wiring for the extra wires to go to the alternator and to the electric choke on the carburetor. This way I was using stock wires I didnt add any. And I gained my wire for my alternator and for my electric choke.
