Hello and welcome,It's always nice to see another early car/owner on the site.If you need any help /advice with your new project Let me know,Just post your questions in the early forum. I own a gang of early Mustangs and I've been messing with 60's Mustangs and Fords for a bunch of years . That's a good looking 69,Good luck with it.
P.S. Your status says "Peeved with your shifter" Are you having a problem with it? If so,Let me know what it is(Stick or auto,etc) And what it's doing? If it's a stock Ford shifter they are usually very cheap/semi easy to fix yourself. The parts to rebuild a shifter are usually $20 or less and readily available.
