66 Fastback Mustang Pro-Touring Build

[jeffery]

A year has past since I bought a 1966 Fastback Mustang. I sadly discovered multiple hack repairs, hidden bondo, rust, and really pathetic sheet metal body work. Over the years there must of been numerous repairs with reckless disregard to quality and i can only suspect parts and panels are patches from scrap metal and wrecked donors.


Turns out to be a perfect gem for a Pro-Touring rebirth — my bucket list car with extreme performance while maintaining vintage classic style.


We have worked the chassis which is basically embedded in the lower rockers, front and rear frame rails, support hoops, cowl / firewall reinforcement, monte carlo type bars, lateral supports, front sway bar, roll bar, etc..


The rear-end is taking shape that will have a three link suspension, coil overs, and watts link. We are still working out the front cantilever suspension design. Rims and tires are not settled yet. The Detroit Speed mini-tubs have been modified and can easily handle a 13 inch tire width. Since the weather is getting better, i rolled the car outside last weekend to start sandblasting - its going slow though.




If you find this build interesting, let me know. i can post other picts and updates on our progress.
