First off...Love the site! Lots of great work going on here. My name is Paul and I am a shop owner in Alabama (SVP Unlimited). We specialize in primarily Mustangs...everything from restoration to custom builds and do everything from mechanical to paint work. Jason is my right hand man and he stumbled across this site. We stay covered up and have 2 car builds going on right now that fit in with you guys with the lateral-g theme....this is what I like to see anyway personally ;). We are building a '93 Mustang Cobra and a '67 Mustang Convertible....with the '67 being far more radical than the '93. Those are both customer cars and I have plenty of my own projects that I never seem to find the time to work on as well. Both cars are currently on Rotisseries and scheduled to be finished for the Ford 45th anniversary show at Barbers Motorsports park here in Leeds, AL which is only about 10-15 minutes from our shop.
The 67 started out as a decent looking car and was bought as a rust free car to build but after we got into it we found a seam across the floors and rockers where it was 2 cars put together and then once it was soda blasted we found a ton of covered up mess/holes under the car....so this one became a true "frame off" on a unibody car...we had it down to basically 4 rails welded to our frame table and rebuilt the car from the rails up. Now it's back on the rotisserie as we await the suspension pieces to set all that up.
The 93 was a high mileage Cobra that suffered from a broken valve spring that ended up grenading the entire engine. We have built our own subframe system, retrofitted an '03 Cobra IRS into it and will be installing a Ford Racing Boss 347 with a 6 speed manual transmission.
It's nice to find a site with a forum of like minded gearheads/builders:thumbsup:
Jason and I will be attending SEMA this year and look forward to meeting some of you guys out there:cheers:
