$5000 budget Mustang

Yeah that was a wild storm with no windows or wipers.

It looks like I can make it to RTTOS, hoping to roll in Fri. evening.

Cool, glad to hear. It's going to be a great time!

Finishing up a few things that have been an issue for a while. Under extreme braking, and cornering, the oil from the dry sump tank would slosh up into the oil vent lines, filling the vent tank, then puke out the breather on to the headers. Couldn't find anything that would work, so in true $5000 Budget Mustang fashion, I cut up an old GM air conditioning drier, shaped it into a surge tank with multiple baffles, and fittings. Worked out pretty well, its always nice when you can put the fittings right where you want them. I powder coated it wrinkle black to match the vent tank.

1965th post. Just sayin.

[rossmacd]

I mean, 1966th. But this is 1967th. I screwed that up.

I saw Ron and the mustang for the first time in person. The pictures just don't do this car justice. After reading all about your car it was nice to see it and meet you. Thanks for letting me check out those seats.

Good meeting you Matt, that was a nice cruise up there, I'm glad my buddy Mike talked me into it.

Ron S,

Man you do some awesome work. Just read through this entire thread over the weekend and have to say that this IS hot rodding. The drive to make better parts, your ingenuity, fabrication...Its all way above the level that most guys consider a hot rod. I would like to congratule you on the overall look and performance of your ride and want to say that you've inspired me to snatch the body off my car and start a Street/Racecar myself. Thanks for going all out and showing what can be done in our hobby by dedication and perserverance.

This is such a great build thread...

I like the work that you did with the rear end cooler. Nice work.

A little birdie told me it was blazing fast at RTOS and a completely different car from the changes that were made. Drifting at 110 mph...the man has big balls

I'd like to see that.

Ok spill the beans I want to hear about this! Even better if there is video or photos to embellish the story with!

It was a fun weekend, I so have to get a GoPro. When I came off the track, someone asked if I was a dirt track driver. I was following Kyle Tuckers lead, saw him sideways in front of me most of the day. As tight as the car used to be, I can't beleive its the same car. Honestly, I was having so much fun roasting the tires at speed, I'm sure it slowed me down some. I do hope somebody got some good video. We need to get an official video guy for the series.

I agree about needing an official video guy. I'm no drifter, but damn if I didnt find myself hangin the back end out everywhere! I can only imagine you guys with 100-200-300 more horsepower than me!!

I hope you mean you'd like to see the drifting......

This is a great thread, has pretty much made me decide to build a 69 Camaro like this for the track after I finish my street car.

[Hotwhilz]

Working on the 100's page! Still bluffed, even though the budget might be slightly off, this car is amazing and the quarter and fenders should be duplicated for others to have fun too! (Hint, hint!)

Good Jon Ron!

Canadians and their humor...of course I meant the driving.

[67SSDan]

I like the window upgrades. I was just thinking the other day that when you get tired of this car and sell it to me, I'd be putting some sort of interior in it. I guess if we put that off long enough... you may do it for me.

Kyle was saying after about 4 laps the tires went away, so you needed to come in to let them cool down. He was right, the car became a hand full once the tires went away. The set up was so new in the car I wanted to see how it would act, and how predictable it would be. Early in the day spun the car once, while Kyle was chasing me, I got all excited, and rolled on the throttle too hard in the turn, total driver error. I know it was the track, but I have never drifted anything like that at speed, it was a hoot. I know the sliding slows you down, and in the future I need to get more serious, but that was a crazy fun weekend.
