Anvil Mustang

[HotRod47]

I love what you have done so far....great project!

[BA.]

ahhhh, nice build.

seems to be much nicer than my rust-bucket, green on green 69 sportsroof that was my first car. (a whopping $300!)

Matt, I hope you can get it done for RTTC next year (March 5-6,2011) so I see it in person!! I'm hoping this time we will have time to come up and visit the shop.

Yancy, that should be no problem since we aim to get her done for SEMA 2010 and it's been invited to the optima Challenge. I just hope we have enough time to dial everything in by then. It' going to be tight. We actually hope to get it done a couple of weeks before SEMA becuase it was also invited to the Playboy Mansion for a thing called "Musclecars at the Mansion". http://musclecarsatthemansion.com/

can i drive it there pleaseeeee oh and if you do go then i would have to say that

[Wesley J]

Yes, we will judge the Mustang market with these 69/70 parts and figure out which parts to make for earlier Mustangs.

I'd kill for a hood and trunk for my '67 coupe.

Here are some update pics taken a couple days ago aver at Mick's Paint. The rear quarters were pulled out about 1 1/2" on either side. the wheel wells have also been mini-tubbed which will allow us to clear the monster 345 meats on the back. The quarters were a lot of work, but unless you knew it or had a stock Mustang next to it, you wouldn't know it. The front fenders that will be made in carbon fiber have also been widened to accomodate a wider tire and give us a little lip on the front wheels. If you were to look at the car from above, it would have a subtle hourglass shape.

[ArtosDracon]

Wow, that is actually quite subtle. Having stared at this body of mustang for what must cumulatively be weeks, I can tell right off, but it's still subtle, and a dark color will hide it even more.

Matt, can I hide in the trunk!!

[hivewax]

Anyone, me included, would want to be the "trunk monkey" for that Playboy event. I'm looking forward to your aftermarket 1st Gen Mustang parts.

Matt I had to sign up for this forum been reading it for awhile but with you posting this on here I have to say I love it! I am so glad you are making parts for the 69-70 mustangs since I have started plans for my own pro-touring 69 mustang about a year ago. My budget will most likely be a 5-7 year build but love your hood and rear bumper designs. I can't wait for the parts to be available for several items you are doing for this car. Been excited about this project since I heard rumors. Thanks for making some nice parts available for our favorite year first gen mustangs.

[garner67]

Great work on the hood & bumper. I love to see someone update the look of old muscle cars without destroying the original lines.

[hotwheels]

I'm heading over to Pure Vision and then on to Mick's paint to see progress tomorrow, so watch out for some updates!

[youthpastor]

One of my favorite build Matt! Gonna look awesome

[Motown 454]

Matt you got my attention. I'll be watching.

[hotwheels]

OK, time for some updates!
The car will be painted this week. Here are some recent pics at Mick's paint located at So. Cal Speed Shop.
You can see Mick and Steve in the background trying to look important.

Look at how crisp the rear flare is.

Scoop and widened quarter

[claytonisbob]

Very clean. I'd never be able to sand a flare well enough to look that good.

[Matt@BOS]

Matt, I noticed you've got what looks like space for three individual M/Cs on the firewall, are you running a Tilton or similar setup by chance? I'm thinking of putting one in my car and was wondering how those types of pedal assemblies install and work.

Matt

[The WidowMaker]

looking good!!!

the triple masters (i used the wilwood setup) take a little fab work to install since you need to make a flat area that doesnt usually exist on our cars. i had to build a beefy bracket for my chevelle since the stock pedals were part of the bracket and came out as a unit. but i hear they are worth it in the end. i'll be able to tell you in a couple years...........
