$5000 budget Mustang

[Jim Nilsen]

Nice prop rod.....hehehehe...not exactly what I had in mind, but hey, it works!

It looks like a keeper, just keep cutting it down till it is the right length. It's lightweight ,non conductive, and can be found at any grocery store and many others in lots of colors and grips.Who needs a broom anyway when,

You can leave the sweeping up at the track by being in 1st.

You will be a contender this year no matter who brings what?

We have our eye on you.

Comin along great Ron! Let me know when your getting close so we can figure out our game plan for tuning...

In your avatar pic, you are driving it on the street and it appears to have plates - is it street legal??

Of course its street legal, this is my Mom's car. Trying to cram too much in at the end here. I wanted to send the front structure out to be powder coated, man is this a different car then what I started with. Ron

Just because it is one Mother of a car doesn't mean it's your Mom's car !

Wow this is AWESOME

[Ron S]

Here is the front structure unbolted, on its way to powder coating. Its hard to beleive that with all that tubing, the chromoly structure is still 51 lbs less then the mild steel, reverse hood core support. You got to love chromoly, all except for the fact that it takes FOREVER to tig it all together.

Kind of cool that I was able to put trailering tabs that are hidden, and poke out of the bottom of the grill, so I don't have to dirty up the back of any more shirts putting the cart on the trailer, added about 4 lbs, but it was worth it. Ron

Looking good Ron! You coming down to PSMC this year?

[Ron S]

I really want to, but a throw a big 4th of July bash every year, it probably wouldn't be too cool if I didn't attend. Ron

Won't be the same without You and Payton!!

Skip the powder coating! spray bomb it and lets get it running!!!!!!!
Get it done so you can go to pinks with me.

[LSXZ28]

Looks great Ron! Can't wait to see this thing together...

Hey, don't forget to weld an O2 bung in somewhere so I can put the wideband in and run the cord inside the car. Also, don't suppose there is a lighter in there anywhere to power the wideband... we'll need to work that out...

[Ron S]

I've got you covered Brett, had to have a cig. lighter so I could run my gps, thats the only speedometer the car has. As soon as the front is back from powder coating, the car should be together that night, I am hoping Tues or Wed to be hitting the key, I could trailer it down for Sat? Ron

With the front fenders off, you can really see how wide the front end really is. I love this car!

[LSXZ28]

Make sure you don't fire it up before we do the base tune for the injectors...

Does it have exhaust on it? I was serious about doing part of it on the street. What do you think about taking it to the dragstrip here by me to tune it on Friday afternoon/night - cheaper than the dyno, and will be a better tune... just a thought. Let me know...

[John Wright]

Wow...that looks great Ron!....Woot!

[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

I may one day spruce up the inside, but for now it will remain all buisness.It really wouldn't take much to make this a comfortable,creature comfort equipped Pro Touring car. I think I like the way it so much, because I don't have to clean anything. Ron
