Happy to be here. Just pulled the trigger on a 68 3 Speed I6 yesterday. Looking forward to a backyard budget build to putz around town in. I spent my fair share of time turning wrenches but I’ve been behind a desk the last 13 years so I’m gonna ask a whole lot of dumb questions a teenager would ask. Oh and I’m cheap. Always making trade-offs between time, & money or personal preference vs OEM Specs.

Welcome! Looks like it's already a driver. Nice find. I'm in your neck of the woods too. There's a Car's and Coffee every other Sunday in the Hobby Lobby parking lot. It's a good place to bring a vintage car like that and chat with other car guys in the area.

I’ll have to come check it out for sure when I get a chance.

Welcome to the VMF nice looking 68. What do you consider Southern Maryland, western side of Charles County here.

Thanks! Further south, down in St. Mary’s County.

Welcome. Anne Arundel Co. here.
Nice basic car. "Cheap" is good. It only gets really expensive when you're either (1) fixing rust or (2) hot rodding it a bit. If you keep it basic, it's fun and affordable.
Remember, the only dumb question is the one not spoken.
I suggest (as I always do) getting a Ford Shop Manual from one of the many Mustang parts vendors or Amazon. I got mine at National Parts Depot (NPD), one of many good vendors. Also get their catatog.
You might want to check out Mike's Mustang near Accokeek. It's a junk yard with lots of Mustangs of all ages.

Mikes Mustangs! That’s the kinda info I’m here for. I will definitely have to check it out.
