$5000 budget Mustang

I got a couple of the down bars bent and welded,I've still got to put the tie bars in and build the radiator mounts on them.Once the radiator is in,I can finally cross my fingers,and fire the thing up and pray all these junk parts work.Ron

This car looks INSANE!!!! I love it. Can I drive it at RTTH's.....lol

Got a chance to scale my car tonight.It weighed 2750 pounds,with no fuel or driver.Just under 3100 pounds with me a full tank of fuel.Glass isn't in the car yet,so I had to weigh it and put dummbells in place of the glass.That back window is 34 pounds by itself.Makes me think lexan.

The good part was that the car had just about perfect 50/50 weight distribution.Can't get over how acuate the scales are.The car was exactly 26 pounds heavy over the right rear tire were thw battery was.

I was really getting scared that this was going to be a tank.I talked to a fiberglass company about making molds for the front fenders,incorporating the headlight buckets and rings,they are getting back to me,if its not to bad I might do it.Ron

this car is going to be awesome. Good work

[vancouver67]

this project is looking absolutely sick. Can not wait to see the finished result.

Got the coil and radiator mounts made,need to scrounge up some hoses and make up the spark plug wires.I'm temped to use this Corvette MAF and intake,it kind of matches the Corvette calipers.It may get me some finger gestures from the Ford pureists.This thing is finally coming together.Ron

That car is awesome Ron, great job on the flares, looks like it would be hard to keep them the correct proportions for the car, but you pulled it off. Looking at the stitch welds in the pictures you posted they look like surgical stitches. I think the name you suggested "franenstang" would be a great name. It really looks great,keep us posted. Great job, you are a true craftsman.

Don't sweat the Ford guys, Ron. If the LS motor between the rails doesn't get and the intake tube does... well then they deserve to stew in their own jealousy.

Getting the brakes and hydraulic clutch up,love the way the fender comes off with just 4 bolts and the hood lifts totally out of the way.

Hey Ron how much $ you up to on that???

[Ron S]

Just made what I'm hoping is may last order from Summit this morning.All the fittings and crap add up quick,I'm still under $7000,but with the windsheild and paint,I'll definitely be over.I'll be in Georgia though,hope I get a chance to log some miles on it,the trans is my biggest worry,have no idea if it will work or not.i guess we'll see.Ron

[Payton King]
