Anyone have a vintage car???

[Broadsword]

I have a 1965 Mustang Fastback project I'm just starting. It was actually my wife's first car. Bought it back from her ex-husband. Before I start on the restoration I want to have it put on a frame rack and checked out for straightness. Then I want to have a new drivers side floor pan welded in. Can anyone recommend a good shop in the Colorado Springs area I can take it to?

I can't recommend a shop, but if it's running and driveable, I'll recommend keeping it that way as long as possible! I'm restoring a '56 Willys Jeep and I wish to God I'd left it all together so I could have enjoyed it the last 5 years instead of shuffling parts around. They come apart much easier than they go back together, I'll tell ya that. I'd rather be driving a beater than dreaming about driving a prizewinner.

this is mine. . . .not really vintage (titled as a 2005)




There are a couple guys that specialize in mustangs. CO mustangs in Aurora, there's a guy in Denver 1/2 mile north of 5280 Armory that does just mustangs. . . .

there are more, but those are the 2 close to me I know of

I have a 69 442 and cannot remember if Jack's Alignment does frame stuff or not. It has been a while since I lived in the Springs.

When I had my 70 Chevelle Jack's was the only place I took it to for alignments.

She: Maybe we should get something that's emp proof...
Me: Yep...



Hence the 1959 Mercedes S Class project.

Family owns the oldest car in Colorado. Does that count?

to check the frame I would recommend Mikes frame and alignment, he does a great job and he is a Mustang guy. Just curious, but was the car wrecked? why do you think the frame/unibody might have issues?

I have had many many mustangs in the past 10yrs, the one I have now is a 95 gt. Its got a 392 stroker, AFR heads, Trick flow TFS-R intake, tremec 5spd trans, 150 shot NOS. lots more. Its pretty fun
