65 Mustang Build!

[Huffy]

If you just replace the springs with bags, it probably will handle like a boat.

It might handle better if you go with some thick sway bars and stiff shocks, then have the bags in place of the springs.

Oh ok. I'm going to do some research on what ride tech did to their bagged 69. They use it for autocross

I don't know much about bags though and I want this car to perform well in turns do bags reduce handling?

Looks good! Needs to be so much lower...I do know how difficult that is on these cars though.

I have a 65 convertible on cragar ss's. 1" drop springs in the front and some hefty leafs in the rear. Has significant rake.

Eww Cragars I have 1" drop springs as well. Going to cut a coil and do the UCA drop to get it sorta low until I can afford a Ridetech set up. I dont want to drop it too low static the oil pans on these things are massive and hang down extremely low.

Well, I can say coilovers aren't the easiest thing ever....http://www.stanceworks.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=52437

Thats an awesome build! Im probably going with bags rather than coilovers though.

im not feeling the ccw reps on american classic.... not even if they were real ccw's. It just doesnt flow in my opinion. very nice mustang though! i almost bought a 68 last night;

In person they look a little different. More lows might change your mind tho. Had I not had to spend 10k+ to get where it is now I would have bought some real ccws or other "legit" wheels. What wheels would you suggest? No craigers or torque thrusts haha. Should have bought the car old mustangs are great.

pretty cool build, nice restoration.

the wheels look a lot better without the centercaps, that is just my opinion though. looks more raw

I'm still deciding on that myself. May get some black caps the front has the ugly hub sticking through tho And doesn't look as good.

Looks sick! And yeah the muscle purists need to open their minds to stance

Thanks! They really do the ones around here are all about jacking their cars up and slapping big ass tires under them. Can't wait til this rapes them on the highway and in the turns

That's a lot of orange peel... Did you cut and buff it?

No not yet. Not planning to wet sand it til spring. That was only a week or so after painting it. It looks little better with the wax and things it has now but it really needs wet sanding. Honestly I'm apprehensive about wet sanding having never done it before.

This is gonna be amazing, when u get it low... it's gonna piss the hell outta the muscle purists

Rear end view of this car is bad @ss. Rebuild is awesome. Good job

I love the ass shots of it. I used to think the rear end was boring but now that everything's together it looks amazing.

Looking good! Interested to see what taking a coil off the front will do.

Thanks it may need more than just 1 coil. I dont want to be bouncing or really stiff yet though.

Looking good man!

Thanks

Don't get a shelby rep front bumper. They only look good if you are going for the full conversion.

Just do a duckbill spoiler from a MK1 golf, and an external oil cooler.

Like this.

but on a mustang.

Thats a picture that I got the oil cooler from. Going to put some inboard foglights on it and see how that looks then see about the oil cooler. Those duckbills are cheap compared to the aftermarket 69 mustang style ones Im definitely going to see about getting one of those and making it fit.
