1967 Mustang Fastback

[Godbolt]

Great widening work, 10/10!!!

I think you should make moulds of those wide fenders/wings and doors.

Thanks very much.

I am actually thinking of pulling some moulds. Not sure if there would be much of a market for it but if I do bend this car it will make it a lot easier.

Beautiful fab work!!

I would certainly buy a kit in about 5 to 10 years when i get my stang Nobody I know of does a widebodykit like that for the 67-68 mustang. Ringbros does the 65-66

Amazing build. That is some very impressive fabrication.I especially like the way you added the sheet metal to the underside. I have always been curious why more guys dont do that. I am going to see how it works on my car. What is the primary purpose of this car? The name i came up with is "Initiating Launch Sequence..."

Thanks very much. This has definitely been a case of scope creep. Originally the plan was for something more street based but as time went by it became more and more race focused. I lack the skills to do this type of work but was lucky enough to find the right people - particularly Tony Porter who used to build race cars for a Australian v8 supercar team and Russell Weaver who did the body. They are very talented and know a bunch of others who have helped out. The plan is regular track days and road rally events. It will see some time on the street but really that will be pretty limited and in any event, it's not built for comfort.

Ultimately I would like to do this event, particularly the leg in Tasmania.

I lived in Tasmania for the most part of 2014, the roads are absolutely amazing and so secluded, you could drive the twistys through the mountains and not see another car for an hour, Targa is even better because they close off the best roads down there.
It's an awesome event and your car would certainly get some attention

The under side almost looks to good to hide. I've been down to watch a couple of the targa tassie races and as mentioned above the roads are incredible. I'd love to participate one day as well.

G'day, love the build mate, it's looking really nice!

I gotta ask about the rearend though, is that a Dana you're going to run or maybe even a Borg Warner?

And why the change from the more traditional 9 inch rearend?

Cheers!

Rear end was on the recommendation of Griggs Racing. It's a hybrid assembly built by them, 8.8 centre with 9 axle housing ends.

Progress.

The teal coloured piece you see above the throttle body is an extension to the intake on the supercharger. It is a 3D printed plastic piece to check the fit. Without it the hood just touched the throttle body and this piece kicks it down slightly and allows it to clear. The final piece can now be machined.

Looking really tidy
