67 Mustang Fastback

[67greengt]

Hey all,

It's been a while since my last post of receiving my new wheels and tires; it seems like forever since there's been any progress with my car but I've been feverishly gathering parts, researching, working/saving money/spending money lol

Attached are some pics of recent progress:

Dutchman Street and Strip axle housing and third member mocked up with air ride triangulated 4 link
Rushforth 18" Wildsides mounted
Baer 14" Pro Plus Brakes fit
Complete air ride suspension kit mocked up, plumbed and wired for up and down use temporarily

Pics to follow - cut the front rad support and the front left and right inner fenders to build a custom new one (special thanks to the ring brothers and staci for their help and advice along the way - I'm sure there will be many more!)

Also got a Be Cool Rad Module 19x26 with dual 11" fans and the a/c condensor to go with it.
Ordered and received Wilwood Pedal Assembly
Ordered and received my Complete ISIS 3 cell wiring kit
Ordered and received Flaming River Column
Ordered and received a PIAA HID Headlight kit - thinking of going with HID Driving Lights too?

Next on the to do list

1) Save money!! lol
2) Finish up eng compartment fabrication
3) Fit front fenders
4) Finish Rear wheel tubs
5) Order Hood (probably a 67 shelby hood)
6) Order Ring Brothers Hood Hinges
7) Order Vintage air Kit and mock up
8) Mock up steering column and pedal assembly
9) Begin Fabrication on dash
10) Figure out fuel injection setup



I'm hoping to get most of the above done by the end of the summer, give me a chance to save over the winter and get going full steam ahead next spring

Coupling things I'm still thinking about

* Thinking of going with a complete line of electric life accesories - door poppers, power windows and switches - any suggestions/comments?

* Looking at going with a custom sheet metal fuel injection intake - Hogans Racing or Precision Metal Craft - I like the look of either a single tuned port and dual tuned port injection - I'm totally new to the whole fuel injection thing so it's definitely going to be a learning process! I want to do a fuel tank with a submersed "in tank" pump, and have a management system thats programmable by laptop - need two tunes, one for air care emissions and the other for street driving.

* Thinking about going with One Piece Products one piece side glass - elminates the vent window - has anyone used their stuff before?

* Still need to figure out the look of the front fascia and rear tail panel - I'm thinking I might get a custom finned tail light panel made up without the gas cap in the middle - thoughts?

Anyways, hope you like the couple pics and bit of a recap i'll post some of the eng compartment this weekend

Man I didnt even know One Piece Products existed and made stuff for the mustang. That would look cool.

I like how you spend your money. And, leave the ride height in the back alone.

A little bit of progress.

After reading the posts on the bmw front seats... it helped me make up my mind on the front seats. I was going to go with Recaro Expert M seats, but they were going to take 10 weeks to make (apparently) and were 1500 each and didn't have any power adjustments etc.

I found a mint set of 2005 bmw m3 coupe seats with all the goodies - test fit them in the car and they are going to fit perfectly! I was going to lower the seat platforms already so I figure I'll lower them about 2.5 or 3" and they'll be exactly where I want them.

Also been working on the engine compartment fab - building everything around the radiator - it's all modeled after the ring brothers reactor and kona mustang engine compartments.

Hope ya like

those seats look great! any idea how much they weigh?

[67greengt]

They weigh quite a bit. I would guess 65lbs??? They are definitely not lite. There were some questions on the Interior Forum about pins 13 and 14 being used to activate the power - Pin 13 is the Red wire (for power) and Pin 14 is the brown wire (for ground)
I'm still trying to figure out the heated part of the equation - when I do, I'll let everyone know
