DeFazio's Pro-Touring 1969 Mustang Fastback

I think this is Why the Term "Car Porn" came about... Awesome...

Once the car was painted, color sanded, and buffed out we installed the rear bumper, decklid, gas cap and window trim/moldings. We also laid down a sound/heat absorber on the floor of the car. We went with a light weight matting to keep the weight down since a lot of heat and sound deadeners can add over a hundred pounds to the car. We painted the window the window trim the same color as the center of the wheels.

words cannot describe how amazing those bumpers and hood turned out. absolutely amazing.

[Max Power]

Wow wow wow wow and wow!

Here I sit surrounded by my 69 Mach 1, parts spread everywhere, drooling over the result you have created here. I can only wish mine comes out half as good as yours. The colour and what you have done with those carbon is simply amazing. I don't really go for the carbon fibre look but to tint them like that, you've nailed it. Very very impressive, well done!

[rfalker1]

High Quality does not .. quite mach what you diD! CAR IS STUNNING!

[MSTSFabbed]

Guys this is outstanding! The thinned red on the carbon parts is shear genius!

So are you guys a shop/body shop? Or just avid hobbists? Super proffesional results anyway you look at it!

[69stang]

I haven't been a fan of carbon until now

[Nicks67GTO]

We just enjoy it as a hobby haha. My dad used to paint cars and race back in the day and I've always enjoyed working on cars since I can remember. It was supposed to be just a small one year project that turned into an almost 4 year build.

We are running the Tremec 5 speed, its the TKO600. Pretty solid driveline and rear end so should do a nice job putting the power to the ground

[Motown 454]

Beautiful job! You do amazing work.

[bdefazio]

Once the rear bumper, rear valance exhaust tips, and deck lid were installed we moved to installing the rear end and the wheels.









We also wanted to have an accessible battery port that was outside of the car so that we could charge and maintain the battery. Since the trunk interior will be covering up the battery, we wanted to have an easily accessible way of charging/maintaining the battery without having to pull the trunk interior panels out. We decided to mount it under the license plate, since that is an easy spot to get to and can be hidden. By making a pull down license plate bracket, the license plate can now be pulled downwards, revealing the charging ports for the battery.

This is the start of a high end pro-touring style 1969 Mustang Fastback.

Uh, yep! I do believe you met the high end mark. Congrats on a job well done.

The hood is awesome...

We actually made them. A lot of the brackets and aluminum components we fabricated. Its hard to find stuff that looks good and does the job you need it to. Sorry to let you down on the manufacturer, unfortunately there isn't one haha

[cpenrose]

That car is filthy. The color is incredible. I'm now wondering how it would look if I did that to my bumper with a diluted super dark gray on carbon. I think it would look really good actually
