66 stang with a Aston V12

[Eurostang]

I am building a 1966 Mustang with a 2002 Aston Martin V12, T-56, Ford IRS and whatever other crazy ideas come to mind. I started with a Coupe and it is now a fastback.

You have my attention......


Keep up the progress!

I like it--crazy is good!

[Crestronwizard]

I love out of the box insane ideas. Keep the posts coming and good luck!

Very cool, I'll definitely have to keep my eye on this one!
By the way, how did you convert it from a couple to a fastback, do they sell the sheetmetal kits to do this easily or was it a lot of custom work?

Main thing I need to say is you gotta build long tube headers for this thing. The sound of the car in the link above makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up.

Ps, ever see the green all steel mustang by Fantomworks which has 6 tail lights among other custom schtuff? Just a thought.

I used Dynacorn side assembly's and the other parts from CJ Pony. Rear fenders, tailight panel, Structual assembly behind the back seat....

The headers came with the under 2000 mile motor.

I know I will get crap from Pozzi, but a modified MII front suspension. My prior toy was a Lotus seven replica, so I have played with front suspension set ups. Arm length and extended Ball joints affect the control arm angles and roll center. Wilwood 12.19 brakes front and eventually rear.

Jlcustomz, Fantomwork's does some serious work. I might talk to Dan about paint as I am in Virgina. My wife though is from Jacksonville, and I went to school there!

I like Detroit Speed's Stuff, but I frankly have to keep to a budget. I did however use there Mini Tubs and frame rail kit! Josh, I would love to see a ridetech Rollbar kit for the 65-68 stangs!!

Very cool…look forward to seeing your progress.

Epic idea and build, can't wait to see more!!! How will you handle the wiring and ECM?

[Eurostang]

Megasquirt Ms3 Pro for the ECU. Motor is basically a Ford/Cosworth. Sensors are all like my Zetec from my old Seven Replica. In fact the cylinder size, stroke, valve size and so on are all close enough to use my Zetec fuel map to get the motor running. I have a aftermarket Harness for the cars primary electrical and I will use a subpanel to do the engine operations. Ideally I would like to do a valet mode so if someone else has to drive it, they do not kill them selves.

If anyone has any V-12 experience, I am trying to figure out if the exhaust would benefit from a x pipe or not.

Wow, that motor will put you in the back seat! Great build!

[Dave B]

Wow...drool....

[WallaceMFG]

Very cool project! My dad and I want to do a fastback conversion in the future, I'll be watching your progress!

[I_make_oil]

VERY NICE! I was close to doing a fastback conversion on my car but decided against it. I'm looking forward to seeing this project proceed. What are your plans for chassis reinforcements?

[Eurostang]

Front torque boxes, US Car Tool frame connectors with triangulated braces to the rockers, roll bar with possible side bars, front structural add ins and additional structure for the rear IRS.
