      Thanx for the props. Just checked out your ride. Great choice of colour and power plant. Wicked stance. Great clean lines. Before i built the stang, I enjoyed myself in a lowered 69 firebird rag with a chev 355. Had it from 94-03 Wasn't as popular here in Toronto to fit even 17" rims under a muscle car back in 1997 but i did and loved it. Torque thrust ll . I like your choice. 20's and 18's?

      Angelo, I just joined the site and saw your pics. Great looking ride. I'm working on a '68 right now and was wondering if the folks who you got the prototype from have any intention of producing those pieces. I was hoping to stay away from fiberglass for my build and everyone I know would be doing custom work. Regardless, great looking car and welcome.

      Thank you. Unfortunately the gentleman who made this set, made only one other and decided that its too much trouble.

      What's the story on the offset shifter / exposed linkage? Looks awesome.

      The shifter is named RESTOMOD buy the company who makes it. It moves the positioning back from the stock position so that the shifts are a lot shorter and more like a modern mustang. You can pretty much put the shifter as close to right thigh as is comfortable and mark the four new holes for the bottom plate and put it in. Last i saw the piece was worth a couple of hun.

      How much did you shorten rear? If you used a 275 tire would you have to narrow? Thanks for input...oh & NICE CAR!

      Hey Big Eddie, It's more about the rim, in this case, than the rear end. Reason for this is because the rear end was originally shortened for another set of rim and rubber and with the offset of these new 18's, i had to use spacers to get the rims off the inner wheel wells. Now that you asked, I'm thinking the stock length could have been close to working just fine. I really just wanted to centre 11.5" of rubber with deep dish rims into the rear quarter and was prepared to adjust the rear axles to do it. The rims are the Boss 338's i believe . 275's will easily fit, provided you have the proper rim offset.

      Finally got to the scales and the car came down to 2850 lbs. with a half tank of gas. Better than the 3050 it was before restomodding the car and adding in all the carbonfiber. Of course this means i can keep eating those cheeseburgers and still be fast

      Man, I'm totally digging this car! 68 coupes are my second favorite mustangs (close second too 69 fastback). I guess I will have to get one and build it for the old lady to drive.... any excuse right?

      Car turned out awesome tho! I like the shifter relocation... looks sweet

      Hey thanx for the props JC. I've always bin into the fastbacks myself but i don't know if i would have gone this far with a fastback. So I'm glad the coupe crossed my path cause i don't think I've ever had so much freedom to create something a little different. BTW the shifter is as sweet as it looks! Is the car in the photo yours cause i thought the chevy11 had clean lines-I never imagined the ford to be even better! WOW

Size:  204.1 KBDoing this whole thing backward but i just came across some old photos and thought id throw them up. I started the project in 2005 and the next shots is where i arrived in 2006 with the help of my cousin Tony as well as our friend Martini. As i said, the build was transam inspired originally. The car stayed that way right up to Dec of 2011 where my cousin came across the carbon fiber components, by accident while looking for a fiberglass hood scoop. Same cousin who found me the car in the first place. He also found me the crate motor and the shifter along with loads of other stuff. Also, with the help of my close friend Dino, on the entire restomod build, finished april of 2012, i find myself with the newest version of the car. So a big thanks goes out to the boys. With all the long hours and late nights... sounds like its time to sell the car LOL !

      Don't know how much of a restomod my 69 firebird was, but i did put 17 x 8 Torque Thrust II on it back in 1997 and added the transam rear spoiler, chin spoiler and dropped in a very healthy 355 chev motor.Enjoyed it for 9 yrs and then sold it before the mustang build so that we were a father and son mustang family. Both viper red to-boot. Sorry for the lousy quality.
