One of the most fun vintage Mustangs I have driven was a friends 68 High Country Special replica. It was just a 302 but made a great street car. With 68 having the torque boxes behind the front frame rails and being a coupe it was fairly light and stiff.

Cool Project. T5 should be fine with street tires, they are toughter than people give them credit for.

i think the clutch cable setup will work ok,a little close in places.the chrome oil pan is a POS that leaks and may not be on it long.
thanks for all the compliments guys!
