I have a 68 Stang that I intended to turn into Eleanor.  I intend to do this a little at a time, thus I am looking for comments in which the order of events should take place.

Here are my thoughts:

1)  Stereo:  Put the custom system in before the interior is done, power locks, and power windows.

2)  Body parts:  Since the side pipe parts are needed for the exhaust.  Add only the body parts, but do not paint the car.

3)  Engine:  Drop in 427 Cobra Jet, convert auto to manual, beef-up supension,  convert non-power drum brakes to power all-wheel stainless steel dics brakes, and add AC.

4)  Interior:  Leather seats, dash, door panels, etc.  New dash instruments.

5)  Wheels:  New tires and wheels.

6)  Paint.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

 Not to be an ass, but since you are from CA I assume your car has no rust. They didnt get the nickname Rustangs for nothing. Anyway I have a 67 FB that I've owned since 79 and am still regretting some of the things I did to it when I was younger. These cars are some of the nicest looking cars ever and I think you should carefully consider any mods. I dont know how old you are but you could have your car for a long time after the popularity of the movie car fades. I also have a 68 El Camino that I got in 78 these cars have outlasted 2 wives and will probably out last me. But whatever you do take your time and dont cut corners and it will be nice.
