$5000 budget Mustang

[Ron S]

After watching the Ravens complete and total domination of the Steelers, I went ahead and installed the center of the splash pan. Tomorrow I'm hoping to get the sides fabbed. Turned out pretty good, I think the finished product will look much better then the Ford design.

Did you bend the square tube Ron? Looks good.

[Ron S]

Yeah, I have 1" square dies for my tubing bender, it doesn't like that thin wall tubing very much though.

I've been so crazy busy,I think the car Gods don't want this thing painted. Got most of the belly pan made, and one side of the splash pan built. From the rear, the belly pan will have an exposed 2" step in it. I will powder coat it flat black so I don't think it will stand out, but if it does I'll just remove it.

I've been following your build from the very beginning, and it always gets better. too cool!

probably too late at this point but what about contouing the splash pan to match up with the belly pan? it might give the back of the car a smaller tighter look.....or it might not look so great, just an idea.

Ron,

I really, really love the green. But you know I am a little weird...LOL

Damn, not to clutter Ron's thread, but do you have any more pictures of this?

The original set up was contored around the belly pan, and I always thought it looked like it had a load in its diaper. Wait for the finished product, I'm sure it will look more petite, and aggressive. The belly pan really smoothes out the bottom of the car, and functionally works well, but if I hate it I can always remove it exposing the fuel tank, and just fill in around it.
