1967 Mustang Coupe, Project "Code Blue"

If only they were available in 19's. Awesome looking wheel.



About the rad support... Did you have the top bar bent or is it cut/welded?

Ya, cut/weld

Like the rim color - just got new z06 wheels for my Vette in Competition grey... looks great!

[Wesley J]

Baggins, I'm assuming that's a 10" wheel. Is it the 96-04 (+24 mm)? I'm looking forward to having a decent lip.

Wes

[baggins]

yea the lip is a bit over 2 inches, there nice for the price but heavy

[Wesley J]

Yup, cheap wheels are heavy. I have a sub 20 pound different set but they're 8.5 inch so I can only fit girl tires. I'll live with it until I can sneak a set of GAR3's into the shop without the wife noticing.

Whoah just read through this entire thread....What an amazing build! I'm so glad you went with the Coyote instead of the old 4.6. Can't wait to see this finished!!

[MSTSFabbed]

Awww if 8.5s are "girl tires" what are my 17x8s? haha I'm just kidding. They'll look great on there! Your tube work is looking awesome! And youre aluminum welds!

[Wesley J]

T-56 is in my shop, mini tubs are done.

Picked up some sheet metal so I'm going to get at the firewall, tunnel and trunk/back seat panel. Hope to have it done in a couple of weeks so I can get the rotisserie built.

Pics to follow.

WOO HAA -- can't wait to see Wes -- especially the Mini Tubs!

[Crestronwizard]

Sweet! Hurry up with the pics :-)

[Wesley J]

Sorry for the delay. I spent the weekend on sheet metal work. I built a sheet metal separator between the trunk and the back seat. Wow, shrinking and stretching 18 gauge sheet can be a lot of work...

Pics as soon as its complete, hopefully tonight. I just have to roll some beads and punch some holes.

[Crestronwizard]

This is getting ridiculous!! Where are our pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-).Just kidding. Al I have done is cut some more sheet metal out

[Evoix]

I have to say your front end looks rather... optimal...
Are you still using some parts from the Fatman fab frontend in your final setup? Which parts
Pretty much you are doing the best setup i want / can think of.... cept i want a big turbo... once I get out of Dental School.....which seems like it will be never right now :p You will be running some great lap times before I even start... Everything looks awesome keep at it

Not a drop of fatman stuff left, I've redesigned it completely. Ya, I'm a turbo guy too but I'm sure 500 HP will overpower this little car. It'd be cool to say I have 750 HP but would only ever be able to use it all at a drag strip or when >100 mph. What good is that?

Thanks for the compliments!

Sorry master ;-)

Got stuck helping a buddy put his CB750F back together last night. I may be in the shop till 1 am tonight but I'm going to get the sheet metal done! It sure feels good to build rather than just cut/remove/destroy. How's the chassis coming along?

[69fbodyproject]

You better get cracking on the car Wes, theres an advanced school running next weekend(May6th-9th) , and the season starts shortly after that!! Ive been doing a few upgrades and fixes myself to the Mustang, truck is on hold for right now.

NICE! I should have the remainder of my brake parts pretty soon so I can get that out of the way.
