$5000 budget Mustang

Was on Speedhunters and saw this, looks like Ken Block drew some inspiration from this.

What did ron use for a frame? Also what brand wheels where the first ones he had?

[Ron S]

The frame was home grown, the wheels were made by Speedline. They have long since been discontinued, every once in a while I see a set on Ebay though. Went to post a few frame pics, forgot how elaborate that chassis was, and how much I like build pics. lol

I know its not Pro Touring, figured some guys here might dig it, but I know I posted it here, so I guess I'll finish it here. The old Dodge M37 Power Wagon I bought got the full treatment, Big Block (the wicked flat head wasn't so wicked) 727 auto, NP205 transfer case, and a pair of Dana 60 rears. Humm Vee wheels with run flats that you can shoot with a gun are cool, but my favorite is the dash mounted shifter, out of a 60's dodge motorhome.

How long did it take to fab up the whole frame? Looks really good btw!

[Ron S]

It took about a month to fab the frame, from design to roller. There were a lot of sleepless nights with my mind racing, leading up to when the project finally started though.

Just drug the old girl out to get ready for Midwest Musclecar Challenge. Still love this car after all these years.

[Norm Peterson]

Good luck out there, Ron.

[Jetfixr320]

How could you not Love that car?

[Ron S]

Did make it out to Mark Bowlers event, which was awesome, Thanks Mark, and all involved. Haven't had that much fun in a while. Got a few cool pics thought I'd post them up.

Ran the Great Lake Muscle Car challenge over this past weekend took third, but my favorite part of the weekend was Larry Woo and I in the back of the Farrington's Draggon Wagon. We were not belted in the back seat so our weight was shifting from side to side on the autocross course. Sam Farrington wheeled is butt off, as Larry and I bounced around like a couple of bowling balls. The funny part was it was Sam's fastest run for the day, the pic shows the car pulling the front tire as the power is being laid down, and the weight is getting transferred. Fun stuff, thanks Sam for a great ride in the grocery getter.
