Model:
Mustang
Year:
1971
Introduction / Overview:
My Ride started out as a base model 1971 Mach1 302-2v Numbers Matching and Origianl Paint and lets not forget all the Rust! This was truly my first car when I bought it eight years ago about six months after I graduated from high school. It has since been completely stripped and media blasted. The trunk, lower quarters, floors, cowl and right fender apron have all been replaced as well as some minor patches in the rear wheel wells. The rear seat frame will also be cut out so we can weld in a correct one for converting over to a fold down rear seat.
Drivetrain:
I haven't decided for sure; possibly an I-6 just to be different. 4 Spd. Toploader Transmission 9" Rearend Trac-Loc and 3.91 Gears
Would like to produce at least 330/380
Chassis:
Stock chassis with some modifications to the Suspension, would like to put in a 4 link rear end.
Wheels:
Lookikng at PS Engineering Trans Am Style wheels 15x8 with 275/60 x 15 tire giving me a 9.7" footprint.
Body:
A big thanks to Dally's Auto Body for putting up with me and helping me out greatly with this project since I was 18. Stock body and looking at 2008 Snake Skin Green Pearl Paint
Interioir:
Would like to do a dash and guage set up like the vintage Ford GT 40's. Posssibly Procar seats wrapped in white leather. 4 or 6 point cage with 4 point takata racing harnesses. Lot's of Dreams!!!
