Welcome to the forums! Nice Mustang and even better since it was a family car! Keep us posted on those spring mods with lots of pics! :D

::welcome::

 
WELCOME aboard, Kevin!

Thanks for sharing the story on your '73 Mustang. It is GREAT to have the car that your Dad treasured. I am glad to see that you apparently share his enthusiasm for the car.

When you get time, you might want to start your "garage" so that we can track the progress on your Mustang.

Again, Welcome and I look forward to interacting with you on the Forums.

Welcome Kevin,

Nice to have you and your ride with us. Looks like a real nice car considering the area of its location. What a tremensdous blessing to be able to inherit it from your dad. Show us your progress as.

 
Welcome, great looking car and good story. I inherited my 65 in much the same way and just recently bought a 71 Mach 1. Lot's of good guys on here, vie all but left the other forums I normally visit due to the friendliness and comrade.

 
Welcome man, looks like you've already got the bug and a good idea of what you want to do with it. Hopefully we can answer whatever questions you've got.

 
Thanks guys for the kind words.. Cars in really decent shape, has bubbles in a few spots on the paint but its very solid.. floors seem good and frame seems good.. its good its not perfect or i woould not wanna wrench on it! ..
