67 Fastback - Project Dalamar

[Dalamar]

Thanks guys!

Looks like we have been working on some of the same projects on our cars. I also have a 67 fastback with custom front end and am installing a IRS rear just doing it a little differently. Great work and keepus posted. Scott

That's pretty cool! I'd love to see it, do you have a thread on it?

Had the front suspension parts painted:






Looks AWSOME assembled!

[Motown 454]

The parts look great.

No I haven't started a thread yet. Maybe I should with all the Mustangs on the front page right now maybe we take over for a day. Also do you plan on adding a torque box to the passenger side? It would help with body strength quite a bit. If you do, get the Dynacorn one I here they are easier to install. Scott

Now for the interior....
picked up this about a month ago.



the plan is: Putting all this..... in there.

(don't think the door panles will fit)

[Dalamar]

here's what we did last night:

Reminds me of when I put my 04 GTO dash in my 69 firebird. Good luck with the install. I know it will look cool.

We will need to do something with the rear flares, either bring them out, or bring the whole rear quarter out.
Also want to extend all the side panels down a few inches to give the car a taller/lower appearance.
not sure what we want to do on the front.

It will be interesting to see how it evolves.

Awesome build with lots of nice photo documentation.

For the rear quarters, my vote would be extending the whole rear quarter panel instead of adding fender flares.

Keep up the great work!

I see something wrong here... a perfectly good late-model Mustang being torn apart!

[mustangmanic67]

I would add the passenger side torque box. It will strengthen the body greatly. I did so on my 67 coupe and I can now pick it up like its a nascar.

Thanks Garner

The shell of a mustang, the car's been parted out.
or were you being funny?

Thanks for the fedback.
Somebody else recommended that, I looked at it and don't realy see how it's necessary. is your rear suspension riding on leaf springs?

This car basically has a frame from the K member to the back, and the IRS has that pipe frame tying the sides together.
I could see a brace between the coilover mounts...
I know on the Fox and SN95 mustangs "torque box" reinfocements are mainly due to bind in the 4-link suspension
and or the wrong part or bushings that don't allow the upper arms to twist. Not really necessary if your suspension articulates as it's supposed to on those cars.

I do appreciate the feedback.
What do you all think?

[Dalamar]

I'd like to throw out a few more questions, so please post up!


1- should I use the SN95 mustang's heat/air system. or should I look at a vintage air unit?
I'm talking the air box behind the dash, not all the vent's and controls. not sure if a vintage unit would work with these controls.


2- Where can I find the piece that makes the side scoop an actual scoop?


3- Does anyone know who makes a good power window kit for this car?

[icebird84]

Excellent project

[Ripped]

looks like an exciting build. Impressive fab work.

Tony Branda may have the scoop which you are looking for.

There are a couple kits which convert the 67/8 to power windows. To make them work right, you will need to make up an assist spring

how are you going to handle the slightly wider track of the sn95 suspension?

Keep up the good work!

[pro-touringAK]

Awesome build. Autoworksracing.com has parts like the power windows and locks. You can also try Mustangdepot.com and mustangsplus.com. Most of these should have the scoop parts and also the others

[csx4766]

Nice build. What are the part numbers for the Wilwood brakes in front? Would 17" wheels work with the brake set up?

Thanks Ripped,
We'll probably move the rear quarter out.




Thanks pro-touringAK

Not sure the part numbers, I linked where I got them from earlier in this thread - from Rod and Custom Motorsports. you would need to get the correct brake brackets for your application.
I would think so, measureing from the center of the hub to the outside of the Calipers is 7"

We Fab'd up the aluminum fuel tank over the weekend.
Not to worry, my dad was ASME certified, and knows how to build stuff like this.
It's 24 gallons.

Here's some progress pics:

















Test Fit






It will be out of sight, behind the body panels

[Motown 454]

Very Nice .

[CruizinKev]

wow nice
