Hi Everyone, My name is Arto Sevan Oksayan, I live in Turkey and I have two classic cars, the first is a 1968 Mustang Hardtop and the other is a 1956 Ford Victoria 2 Door hard top. I bought my Mustang vehicle in 2008, but the restoration was very difficult, unfortunately some work was done incorrectly, It took me a long time to fix all these problems, I can say that I have no problems at the moment. This vehicle has a Ford Racing 302 engine, AOD gearbox and Jaguar IRS at the back, front brakes are 13" Cobra Brakes. I bought my other car, 1956 Ford Victoria in 2012. I had lots of problems where I had the bodywork done, after that the guy which took on the paint job worked very slowly and unfortunately he passed away before he finished the job, when I re-examined the work which was done up until that moment, I found a lot of mistakes, and I decided to restore this car again, Luckily I found a very good shop to take on this job, they spotted many problems in the bodywork and corrected them one by one, it took almost 6 months to finish the bodywork, but it was great once it finished, then the paint job started it took 3 months but all the effort paid off, I was really happy with how it turned out, then the windshield and window glasses installed and all the moldings installed, I must say it took me nearly 4 years to purchase all the moldings for this car, the wiring has just finished, now the mechanical job of the car will begin, this car will be a little resto moded, I have Ford 351 W engine, I bought AOD gearbox, for the rear end I have a Ford 9", I will be needing your help with some of the decisions that I will have to make, as many things is different, like engine, tranny, rear end so all the rest will have to be selected regarding this setup.
