My 69 Mustang (Project Vintage Racer)

You have a well thought out street car underway. Wheels, brakes, suspension, and drivetrain are all nicely updated and much more sorted out than my first attempt, that's for sure. I would suggest a mounted fire extinguisher, a seat with good side supports, and a panhard or watts link as your next few mods. Then just drive the heck out of it!

on edit- I also meant to say those engine cranes make me nervous. Years ago, I had a piston fail on me while my fathers 350 SBC was out. I was rolling it out from the car and without notice or any sound really it just let the engine smash into the driveway. In hindsight, the piston may have sideloaded the seal momentarily as I tugged the crane away from the car, but holy crow. Totally destroyed the stock pan and oil pickup, and my faith in hydraulic jacks and lifts. Moments before I had my hands under that thing... Live and learn.

hey Gsxken,

thanks for the tips, I was thinking of going with Maier racing's panhard and subframe connectors since I live 20mins away from from them. as for the seats, I'm really leaning toward scats rally car seats but I'm not sure if they are worth the money though... I wanted to go with TMI Sport seats but I've read alot of ppl complaining about their kits.


I never had a problem with the engine cranes, but man that is a nightmare. makes me think twice! lol
