1967 Mustang Coupe Build (Electra)

Hello everyone! Im Jeff, a 30 year old IT guy that finally bought my dream car! I have been rebuilding a 78 GMC C15 for about a year now honing my skills and preparing myself to be able to work on the mustang of my dreams. I had nearly 100k on my 05 Mustang GT so I sold it, got my income tax return, and sold possession after possession to get a decent amount of money to buy a good running project. Drove down to ATL to look at a 68 Mustang with 89 302 v8 and T5 transmission only to be disappointed by what was led to be much better of a car. $4300 was just way too much for what was going on with that ride...Lifter ticks, gauges not working, interior destroyed, and bubbling paint.... So on the way back with craigslist on my phone and my buddy at the wheel we found a 67 in route back to nashville that said "Drive it home, you wont need a trailer". We took a look at it and found her...A 67 Original v6 Mustang swapped in a 302 v8 with 3 speed manual transmission, 5 lug, and newish gas tank. Drives Strong, Straight body, originally restored in 2000. Needs paint, window seals, very minimal rust repair, interior work, few other things, and a lot of TLC. We drove her 4 hours home with no problems.....

I just had ACL reconstruction surgery wed so its gonna be a little bit before i get started on her but here is a general outline of what to do

1. Get it in a garage/workshop
2. Remove all seats, carpet, and etc from the interior
3. Rust repair and rust protectant.
4. Peel n Seal
5. Clean Clean Clean all panels
7. New Oil Pressure Sending Unit and Temp Sending Unit
6. New tires
7. Front Disc Brakes covnersion
8. Suspension upgrades
9. Dual Exhaust
10. New fuel lines if the v6 lines havent already been re-routed
11. Remove Front and Rear Windshield
12. Sand and Prime entire outside
13: Paint Charcoal Metallic with Satin Black hood, front, and rear section panels
14: Chin Spoiler
15: Relay Harness and Head light upgrades
16:Tune her up more
17. Black Carpet
18. Black Dash Pad

Just some basics in my head..

So far i have bought a vintage 3 speed Master Shift Hurst Shifter...
