Mustang Project

This is a collection of SOME of the pics from this build. There are way too many to put on here. I tried to condense it a bit.

This project has been ongoing for about 15 years. Delays were due to cost, research, re-design, work schedule, you name it. It was originally supposed to be a father/son project with the car going to Francis for his high school daily driver. But he was not into working on old cars so it sat on the side of the house until I finally had the financial means, and time, to work on it. Then I got carried away. Why not. 

I decided to replace every nut and bolt and upgrade this thing into a modern performance vehicle. But as I would do one thing, I would discover that I needed to upgrade something else. For example, I stroked the engine to a 408W with an intermediate cam. This required a new transmission and suspension to handle the horsepower. So back to the drawing board. Or not enough vacuum for a power brake booster. So re=designed for a hydraulic brake booster tapping into the power steering. Stuff like that would cause delays, not only for the cost, but in some cases, I had to teach myself how to do it.

This thing is a beast, but will also be capable of daily driving. Most likely not on wet roads though, since it will be prone to breaking traction.
