Evan’s 1968 Ford Mustang Coupe Berea, OH. My love for Mustangs began when I was about 9 or 10 years old and I went to my first AutoRama with my brother (Jay), it continued into junior high and high school and the whole time my buddy Tommy and I use to go round and round because he was a Camaro guy (he has since done the smart thing and bought a 65 Mustang), then into my 20’s I finally got my first Mustang, a 1967 Mustang Coupe and rebuilt it over a 3 year period, then I sold the 67 and bought a 1965 Coupe and it took almost 3 years to rebuild, then I sold her, then at 28 years old I bought a 2003 Mustang and did a ton of Mods to her, owned her for 12 years and sold her to buy my current car, my 1968 Coupe. I realized that I had a great starting platform for a great rebuild and within the last 3 years that I owned my 1968 coupe I have done tons of work for a full restore. We started off with both quarter panel skins (ones that didn’t have the indented reflectors), new wheel houses, and trunk drop. Then we moved on to replacing the floor, torque boxes, deck lid, tail light panel and rear bumper. The hood was also replaced and we went with no latch and added hood pins. We removed and patched the side marker lights in the front fenders, removed the chrome rocker panel molding, and painted her Dark Highland Green Metallic. We did the hood and tail light panel in a Black Matte finish. The entire interior 30 Cruisin’ Times ~ October 2021
