Hello All,

Names Chris. Just finished active duty service with the USMC as a 3521 Mechanic. Now working in an auto parts store planning to open a care center up soon or move on to a farm shop around here somewhere. Enough about, on to the mustang.

It was my fathers first car he ever bought it is a 1971 grande with a 351c - 4V, c-6, 9" 3.00. When i was growing up it was in terrible shape and he was desperate for money and sold it to i guy i knew. After spending some time in the Marines knowing i was coming home i took a loan and bought it from the guy my dad sold it to. Needs exhaust and suspension work and it will be driveable.

I have built it up to look more like a coupe, i don't have interest in making it look 100% original, hence the vinyl top is gone and it looks like a hard top and the grande grill has been replaced with a mach 1 grill. My eventual goal will be a modular 5.4 ford in front of a 5 speed automatic with rack and pinion steering air bag suspension and all the modern goodies in a classical old school shell.

Welcome from TriCities WA.

Welcome from either Okpo Korea, Boerne Texas (as I type) or Sandpoint Idaho as I bounce betwixt the three. I am a former Bey Area'ite spending my first 35 years there leaving in 1995. I am new to the Mustang (mine a '73 Mach 1) and am enjoying the good folks on this site.

Thank you all for the warm welcomes. As requested so long as I can use my phone I shall throw some quick pictures up. Next week or so it would get some magnum 500 wheels and I will get some pictures up as well


Still working out the kinks of posting photos.

Looks like you kept the full-size horsey from the Grande grille and mounted it to the Mach 1 grille - Sweet! ::goodjob::
