$5000 budget Mustang

[LSXZ28]

Let me know how it goes when you fire her up! I can't believe you weren't going to try to start it tonight - told my wife I'd bet money you do...

I know I wouldn't be able to sleep if it was me! I remember the night I got my 408 together - worked until 3am so I could hear it fire up and run.

[Ron S]

Can't thank you enough Brett. Believe me, I'd love to flogg on this thing, but I still have to fab the throttle linkage, and bleed the brakes. Should fire it up tomorrow, and drive it as soon as the down bars come back, Wed at the latest I was told. Thanks again, Ron

We'll keep our fingers crossed for you. I like the blue on the front section.

[LSXZ28]

Looks good Ron... I like the blue.

Call me when she's runnin - I'm curious how nasty that cam is (hopefully it will idle with that tune)...

[Ron S]

Will call you as soon as get it running,can't get over all the little crap that is slowing me down. Work is going crazy, but hoping to motivate Friday night Ron

The LITTLE CRAP took me another 3 days than it could have. You are doing some major changes and that takes a lot of work and you do it faster than anyone I know.

The new heads were just a bit different enough my headers lost the 1/4 in. clearance to the bellhousing. Could just be the thinner new gaskets? had to trim a bit and then the angle plug change etc.

You will know how much you like the new stuff when you take it back out to fix something. I have learned it takes a lot to make it easy.

Hope to hear it fire up this week.

I just love this car got my 30X40 Print of it, and my son did this R/C Body of your car, he also wants me to make a real body like your car for his R/C car ,and now he is also pressing me to get working on his 1966 Mustang Coupe.

Dude, you are a fabricating fool....love your drive and git-R-dun attitude. Wish some of that would rub off on me....LOL I know what you mean about stuff slowing you down. I've been fabricating marching band equipment for my son's marching band. They have 30 year old equipment and all of the stands and rolling carts were made of wood and falling apart, plus they looked really huge and bulky...so I volunteered to build all new frames out of 2x2x11GA square tubing and put larger castors on them so it will be easier to roll out onto the 50 yard line.....keep up the good work Ron, the new front clip looks good in blue.

[Ron S]

Wow, really dig the rc car, love the black centers in the wheels. Ron

[bonecrrusher]

Looking good man...

You like the KDW2's? I just ripped up the smokies and part of the blue ridge parkway and they handled very nicely!

[srh3trinity]

I like the coil pack placement. Nice forward thinking to make a bracket for them.

You need a decal, license plate frame or something that says "Built Ford Tuff With Chevy Stuff" Definitely one of the nicest Muttstangs I have ever seen.

Its always funny until someone puts an eye out. Keep that thing to yourself. Ron

[LSXZ28]

Looks great Ron! Those fuel rails can be a PITA, mine leaked like crazy too - had to tighten the crap out of them...

[RMMiller]

Yes, the post I'm quoting is seven years old but I'm reading the whole thread for the first time. This right here, it made me choke on Fritos to the point my wife thought there was going to be a need for the Heimlich!

Thanks Ron.. i now have a Boner... on Mothers day, Ron... a boner.

thanks.

[John Wright]

That does look good blue.....looks awsome.

[csx4766]

Like everyone on the forum I am just blown away by your workmanship and drive. Just looks awesome. Are you a fabricator by trade? If not you certainly have a backup plan.

[syborg tt]

man i just love this thread !!!!!!

[Payton King]

snappy dancer...if his regular gig goes south I think he is going to pursue his dream on Broadway, so I guess fabricator could be his back up to his back up.
