$5000 budget Mustang

[racedaddy]

You know you can now order custonm "Fathead" stick on wall decals. They're pretty cheap. That pic would be awesome as a "Fathead"

Is it really worth it for $5000?

[Norm Peterson]

How could it not be?

The satisfaction alone . . . "priceless", as the current lines go.

You should see the car in person and in action... it is a monster!

I don't know if its worth $5000, but I ended up with $9000 in the initial build, and about 23K, after multiple failures. It did turn out alot nicer then I origially invisioned though.

Haven't really touched the car sice RTTH's, so I started finishing up a few things. I'm getting ready to start on a new project, so I figured I better finish this one before I get started on something else. Got the beginings of the bumper bottom/brake ducts started, was able to use my fiberglass mold plug to shape off of (kind of nice not to be laying on my back shaping metal).

Hey Ron -

Always enjoy following this thread, and it's one of the first I look for on the Projects section. Care to divulge any details on the next project (just what I need, another excuse for looking at this forum during work...)

Once I finish this car, and only when I finsh this car (I have to keep telling myself that).A 69 AMX just kinda fell into my lap. I started doing some research and found how lite they were,I thought this would be a nice platform. I do plan on lengthening the wheelbase a bit with a full frame, not bulged near as bad as this car, but it shouldn't look like a "normal AMX". I'll start a thread as soon as I take delivery of the car. Ron

Pulled the car out of the garage to clean up. I was on level ground, and was seriously stuck. I guess 335 KDW's were not designed for the snow.

You're my inspiration for a $5000 budget build. One of my most favorite cars ever.

Tried that Mike, seriously level ground. Motored through 5 gears, and didn't move an inch.

[SVTforme]

At least that way you should be able to generate enough heat to melt all the snow. Too bad they don't make 335 snow tires .

[srh3trinity]

you have a tow hook don't you?
