About
I picked up this '69 fastback back in January of 2003 off of eBay. It looked much better in the pictures than in person. It was left out in a farmers pasture in about '85 and was a total shell, stripped of anything useful. My wife thought I should have crushed it instead of rebuilt it.

My '69 Mustang "Layla" is on the road now. Licensed, insured and all legal like. I'm taking her out to the Norris High School Show this weekend for a road test. She really isn't a show car as I did everything on it. The paint isn't professional and it...
