My 68 mustang coupe

[FULLSCALE]

Looking forward to seeing how it turns out!



On another note... I bought some wheels from your cousin Tony a couple weeks ago. Does he have anything posted anywhere on his Fastback?

[Angelo]

I dont think he has a build thread going although he should.

[Angelo]

Finished shapes for the rear of the car so now i moved on to addressing my ideas for the front. I shoot these photos and convert them to black and white so i can get a better understanding of the shapes and proportions i end up with. Make big changes or small tweaks, either way the photos really help the design process since I'm pretty much winging it. I figure i got the final stance very close so now i can figure out how low i can go with the front facia and chin spoiler.

[Angelo]

Ordered this interior from TMI instead of the other one i had posted earlier.

[Angelo]

A work in progress but looks like the direction im going in with the front facia.

[kencobra]

Good looking seats!

[Angelo]

Lower and meaner. Lol.

For the biggest COOL factor, I decided I'm going to make this car the first 71 SHAKER I have ever seen. Going to be a little work but totally worth it. Friends think I'm nuts so far. Probably right. Lol.

[Angelo]

Aiming to get the hood scoop and lower valance opening working together for a more aggressive appearance. Making the fog lamps in the grill my new marker lights.

[Angelo]

After sleeping on it I made these changes this morning

[Angelo]

Put the Nasa hood on the car and it naturally looked so good that now it lives and the shaker is on the back burner.

[Angelo]

A few changes to the front opening

car looks great, BUT how did you get a 295 out back of the 68?

[Angelo]

It is set Only a 1/2" from the leaf spring and the inner wheel well. I found an already narrowed 8.8 and had custom billet hubcentric spacers made to find the sweet spot. It Must have a sway bar or it rubs the top of the inner wheel well when turning. With the sway bar nobody touches, even in extreme cornering.

Thats impressive you got it in a stock wheel well, if I end up staying leaf for the moment I was already planning on a panhard setup so that I can get the largest rear tire I can without rubbing.

[Angelo]

Transam racing back in the day was leaf and pan hard bar and look at how they threw those cars around. Good luck. I'm a fan of making the impossible happen. The 71 has 29" tall rear tires and I lowered the car 3" with a stock wheel well. The width is another matter and that's why I wide bodied the quarter.

In for updates on the '71, or you should jsut start a new build thread for it.

[Angelo]

Finished the basic design and going to start wrapping and applying the resin to the surface of the cardboard tomorrow. Should be fun.
