Anvil Mustang

I too like the early chrome bumper C3s, but still not quite as classy as the mid year vettes IMHO. You're right on with the Miura. It defines 60s exotic like no other. I suppose the Countach took over for the 70s, but was over the top and not as classy.

The only real problem with the countach is that you can't see out the rear, at all. I've seen pictures of the lambo test drivers trying to back them into a spot or into a stall, they actually had to open the door, sit on the sill, and try to back the car up from there.

Still curious about the weights on those fenders. I'm glad you are using FG buckets, it used to make me cry everytime I lifted the pot metal buckets on my '67. They "only" weigh about 7 lbs apiece but felt like bricks. I was laughing about that CF fender and the dumbbell heavy headlight bucket until I noticed it was probably FG.
It can be very difficult to mount the headlight in an aftermarket FG housing, but maybe those are all set up for it.

you guys planning on making carbon fiber fenders for the first gen camaros?

Yes, we are starting with '69 Camaros. We already have the patterns made and they are also widened similar to the Mustang's

Here's a video link to an episode of Car Cast where Steve and I discuss the car before paint.

Setting up pedals and electrical (notice labeled junction blocks to left)

Passenger's side with more junction blocks and Electromotive engine management unit.

Looking good.

What are the functions of those junction boxes to the left? Do they just have an input and an output? Are they to hook up multiple outputs to a single input? Can you give an example?

If so, where do you get them at?

I'll have to check with Steve to see where he got them, but I do know he said they are also fuses. They take the place of the factory type fuse/junction block that is under the dash on the driver's side. All the wiring is being tucked up under the dash nice and tidy.

Matt,

They actually look like resetable circuit breakers. Maybe even automatically resetable.

Very nicely done! I like where you are going with the new parts. Car looks killer!

Here are some of the nickle plated jewelry bits.

Did somebody get too happy with the drill press? lol

Sorry, it kinda reminds me of an Erector Set.....

i think if they made them any color, besides chrome, or nickle plated that they would look awesome.

I concur.

I got a little more info from Steve and you're right, they are self resetting cicuit breakers. He got them from Vintage Air.

Here is a pic of the front half of the wheels before the back hoops are welded on. Larry Dove, president of Evod Industries e-mailed them to me. I just got back from Texas yesterday, so I haven't had a chance to go up to Pure Vision to see them, but Larry dropped the wheels off there on Saturday. I'll be going up there tonight or tomorrow. I'll be sure to take more pics then so I can post updates.

Those are sweet!

Matt, build a carbon fiber Muira replica. I'm sure if you looked hard enough you'd find someone to commission the project. You would be a total legend!

I'm really digging the vintage roadracing vibe on those wheels too. The Evod crew did a great job.

[ArtosDracon]

Those wheels are perfect!

I love what you did with the rear vents. Making it a bit wider and the back and functional is awesome! I am so glad you are making the parts for a 1969 Mustang. Every time I get a catalog I see so many parts for a 67-68. Thanks for starting with the 69.

Very cool build indeed. Can't wait to see the finished car.
