Its good to see another 70 fastback! It's always disturbing to hear about shops whos sales pitches are much better than their workmanship, unfortunatly its all too common in this business, but it looks like there will be a happy ending. I cant wait to see the progress.

[CptKlutz]

Good luck on the (restarted) project! Will be cool to follow.

[XcYZ]

Be sure to post up some pics of the motor when you get it. :thumbsup:

[andrewmp6]

The ring brothers do amazing work you will be shocked when its done.There is a lot of smaller shops out there like that.I use to work for a car restorer that asked me why did i have hammers in my tool box they was body hammers.Most shops now are out for easy fast money they use body filler wrong a lot.I'm kinda anal about things but the ring brothers are some of the very few id trust to work on my cars.Post some pictures when you get to it id love to see the car.I drive a 68 gt/cs clone i love early mustangs.

[ja.stoner63]

I agree with you! It seems to be an art form that only a few work hard to achieve. Ring Brothers has rasied the standard and they truly enjoy doing it.

[ja.stoner63]

Waiting for the new Suspension to arrive.

[GT500KR_Vert]

Nice Stang

[customcam]

Very Nice, u must be ecstatic
I Love Fords especially Stangs this will be nice um we need more pics lol :thumbsup:

[nvr2fst]

JA
Ring is about an hour from me. Maybe I missed the original post but where was your car prior? Shop in WI or Arizona
Dave

[city_ofthe_south]

Those guys are brilliant and there is no doubt this will be amazing. Congrats!

[ja.stoner63]

Thanks, We are getting there. Arizona at First.

[ironworks]

Nice looking car, man I have some ideas for one of those cars. If I brought one of those in to work on One of my guys would work for free just to do a 69 or 70 mustang. I had a guy talking about one a few months ago and he was all Giddy. I'm excited to see how this one turns out, your in good hands.

[EBMC]

Wow, some serious mods in the rear! Keep posting updates!

[CptKlutz]

Clean swoop on that rear deck! And I like the shaving too.
MORE pictures!!!

[customcam]

Another update maybe :willy:

[clevorguy]

Wow, love the direction taken!

[ja.stoner63]

Wow, the time is flying by. The Ring Brother staff is amazing.

We stopped in at the end of April to see our project first hand and all I can say is it’s beyond words.

Also it was great seeing the Razor & Reactor in the same shop. What great company.

I’ll let the pictures do the talking.

Enjoy,

[fleet]

They're very crafty. :cool:

[thedude327]

The metal fab work is incredible!!! Did these guys make the skin panels for fighter aircraft before doing custom cars? Just the way everything goes together like a metal puzzle in 3D must take an incredible amount of skill and great computer software. :hail: :hail: :hail:

Paul
:thumbsup:

[J2SpeedandCustom]

Car looks awesome JA! Can't wait to see what they do to the front end...:yes:

[ja.stoner63]

Thanks everyone!

Paul, I don't think they use computer software. They see it in the mind and are able to apply to sheet metal... It is sooo sweet.

Your right it does remind me of a Fighter aircraft. I Was in the Air Force for many years working on all the Fighters.

Maybe I should ask for some wings as well. :wow:

[wiedemab]

Who makes that front suspension setup? I've seen it before, but I can't remember where.

[SPOTT]

I think it is the one from JME enterprises.

[ja.stoner63]

That's correct JME.

If they came to you in a small size not sure what you can do, but when using this amazing viewer www.cooliris.com (http://www.cooliris.com/) they got big, and there ain't nothing like it that I've seen so far.

Any idea on colors yet?

[ja.stoner63]

No not yet on the color...it will be hard I'm sure.:willy:

Yea the rockers are sweet. The fab work is very detailed. The front end is starting to take shape...then off to the body shop.

Once again - Ring Bros pushing the envelope. These guys are incredible and their stuff just keeps getting better. :thumbsup: Thanks for the pics.

[kenneth]

This one is gonna be cool! Where did you guys get the windshield?

[preston]

Flush Windshield -

Are you just building up the area where the windshield sits so that it can glue in flush ? If so are you also "shrinking" the outer perimeter of the windshield frame to fit the glass ? I assume you aren't using an oversized Lexan piece but original size glass. I'm just curious how this is done, the picture you posted of the a-pillar to be honest looks kind of stock to me, I can't see where it has been built up in either dimension, although it does look smoothed like some metal work has been done. Anything you can do to explain this process is appreciated.

[ja.stoner63]

Maybe flush is not the proper word. I believe the windshield is from new stock. The gap the trim covers is reworked so that it is closer to the windshield then a modern windshield seal can be used which looks flush.

Hope this helps. ;)

[coolwelder62]

WOW!!! Love seeing something new here.Great project. The Ring bros. group are nice people.Good luck hope your build is every thing you hoped for.Scott.:thumbsup:

[preston]

Those rear cans a bit much but maybe I'm not seeing the full fruit of your vision there. That JME stuff is sure nice. I like the circular shock towers with the bolt on caps too. Ring Bros does some super nice engine bays. Always loved '69/70 fastbacks, kind of wished I'd started with one but they were already out of reach back in the early 90's when I started and there were almost no replacement parts for them vs the '67/68 I ended up with.

Those photos say April 2009, looking forward to seeing more without waiting for months.

[ja.stoner63]

Gald you enjoy. The cans as you refer are for flame throwers I bet!:thumbsup:

[waynieZ]

Thats some impressive fab work there. Very nice.

[JKnight]

Those front suspension pieces/crossmembers are insane. They will look right at home with the Ring Bros style. Love the fab work guys.

[4thechallenge]

that is just insane!!! :wow: wow!! how much is the cost of somethimng like this? im afraid to ask ...

[ja.stoner63]

Ya know I haven't even opened the bill yet....:faint:
But what a car it is...

[ironworks]

So how about some pics from 2010. Looks like your holding out on us by just about a year. :willy: :willy: :willy:

Looks like I might see this car in Columbus. Could it be?

[ja.stoner63]

Hey...:captain: what Year is this?

It will be at the Sema show with a cover on it "BASF Booth" I'm assured.:thumbsup:

[Matt@BOS]

Ya know I haven't even opened the bill yet....:faint:
But what a car it is...

My advice, just send invoices over to your insurance company to up your car's value frequently enough that you never, ever, have to add them all up. :lol:

I hope start uploading more pictures by the day, because November is a long time to wait to see more of this thing.

[preston]

I've got a dry sump pump setup very similar to that engine, and I've stared at it many times wondering if there was room for an A/C compressor somewhere, and now I know that it can be made to work. I believe Roush uses the Billet Specialties FEAD system. It almost looks like it doesn't interfere at all.

Oh yeah, I see, their pump is mounted lower on the block than mine, I am actually using the lowermost timing cover bolt hole for the pivot point which is why I can't fit a normal tensioner in there. Still, its helpful to see how the drivers side stuff is mounted.

If you have any closeup photos of how the oil pump mounts I'd love to see them.

Anyway that motor looks totally boss !

[ja.stoner63]

Hey enough of the date questions already.:rofl: I just might have to start from the very, very begining...:P
Staci @ Ring Brothers will be very upset if I give you all to much to soon. Ya never know who out there may have a heart condition.
I think the front bracket & pulley system is from Vintage Air.
It is just amazing to me that Ring Brothers equipped with a roll of tape, cardboard, and scissors can do what they do. I must have missed that class in school.

First of all, Wow.
Secondly, Thanks for posting all these pictures of the build progress.:wow:
Looking at a finished car is one thing, but getting a look at it's construction and design by builders of this caliber is simply mind-boggling.:wow: :faint:
If a picture is worth a thousand words, this simple web thread is an entire set of encyclopedias

Thank You!
Mike

[ja.stoner63]

Thanks Mike,
Great looking AMC you have.
When I look at these build pictures and when I get a chance to visit my car I'm still in awe.

The car is looking great. I love fab work with tasteful use of dimple dyes. It makes the car look so much cooler when you see all of the custom touches going into it.

[LAMBSKIN71]

This fab work is increddible, I think you should just spray it with a few
coats of flat clear and show it off.

The car is turning out great! I just have one comment to make, most shops use scrap two by fours or misc. wood as supports to hold things up, these guys use solid chunks of aluminum. That is classic and awesome!

[Al Moreno]

JA, Thanks for giving me my morning fix :thumbsup: , can't wait to see it at SEMA this year.

Any thoughts on color?

[ja.stoner63]

I gotta say I have about 1000 pictures of Mike Ring sanding, sanding, and more sanding. Wait make that 1200 pictures of Mike sanding.
I would have never guessed it was so much work to have an amazing paint job.

I loved the comment on the wood stands vers billit.

As for the color I will hold off till the Sema show IF I can.

I hope to see you all at the Sema show.

thats primer!

[Camaroguy]

What kind of primer? Is that polyester primer like Z grip or something?

[waynieZ]

Nice progress it looks great. If it looks that good with primer imagine how its going to look with color.

[ja.stoner63]

All that work on the deck lid and rear caps are for the carbon fiber mold process.
Then it has to be prepped again for paint.:faint:

[JKnight]

Wow, ok then. Color is still a mystery!!

If you don't learn something new every day you're doing something wrong!

That one-off trunk fabrication was amazing prior to that comment, now I don't even know what words to use aside from maybe.... whoa?!

I had done some painting over the years to various different mororcycle bits when I was roadracing, then did all the sanding on my Javelin:faint:, which I would say qualifies as average paint work.
I honestly can't imagine the blocking and sanding effort on a build of this quality. I saw the Ring Brothers Camaro at one of last years Power Tour stop and to see that paint work with my own eyes gives a new perspective on what quality paint IS.

[Musclerodz]

I could be wrong, but that primer color looks like the unmistakable color of Rust Defender polyester primer. Yes their craftsmanship is amazing.

Ha - I'm sure its not the first time that's been done but I've never seen anyone bondo a rear end before. That is a little too much for anything but a Ridler cup or AMBR show car IMO but if that's your kick more power to ya !

Now I want to see the saddle stitched leather wiring looms ! Don't be cutting corners on us :)

What are the plans for the center of the rear deck lid? Are they going to install a third brake light? Real interested to see how they finish out the fresh air vents in front of the windshield. I am trying to decide what to do with mine on my 1967 Mustang.

There has been talk of a third brake light as well some sort of emblem.

I 'm excited as well to see the plumbing for the fresh air vents...

Yeah but that's months and months away - cruel.

Its funny I get bored pretty quickly looking at pictures of finished cars, I'm really only interested in the build pictures anymore.
First magazine that figures that out will do well.

I really miss the build books, I bought every one of those.

I know, I guess I will need to put just one picture a week on here so you folks don't forget the build.

I love the build books as well...the pages are sure showing some wear and tear. I did contact the guy that puts together the build books. I would say it was not a productive call. In short he was very quick to say he had no interest.

No problem I will just share as I can on this amazing site.:lateral: :woot:

I think we all know that at some point prior to the big release the pictures would either be less frequent or cleverly cropped. Thanks for sharing what you have done so far.

I have a fair amount of knowledge about preparing publications for press. One could create a book with minimal layout and text, focusing on photographs, without too much effort and cost.
The trick would be marketing and selling; however with a high profile build like this I suspect you would be able to sell a few thousand copies at sema alone which could turn a profit. Properly using the internet would get it to the public as well.

[waynieZ]

That looks great under there.

As you all know it takes time to build these cars...Two Years for me. I could have shown the car done or share the build pictures. I'm not to sure what I should have done now.

My car is not done yet. It will be going to the interior shop soon I think.

It will be introduced at SEMA this Year.

I hope you all can make it.

Once my car hits SEMA I'm told I can share the rest of the build which is so amazing.

Let me know if you folks enjoy the build pictures or if I should just show the completed car when I can.

It's your call.

:thumbsup: :cheers: :lateral:

[Ronny]

Please keep the pics coming, I`m in here several times each day.

Building a `70 myself so its cool to watch the progress :)

[JKnight]

Heck yeah, I love the build pics. For someone who is not naturally extremely detail oriented when it comes to building cars, it's great to see the amount of details that go into these high end builds. Not that I can or will replicate it, but it's fun to look at nonetheless.

[mike343sharpstk]

^^^^^ What these guys said:yes:
This is like one of those serial stories where the reader gets a bit more of the story each day.

Al, you don't miss a thing...I got in trouble for that picture. Yes the roof has been tweeked but that is all I can say for now.

I was informed that the next "Popular Hot Rodding" will have a center fold of the Afterburner and my car will be in the background...so the color will be very obvious at that time. I think it hits the news stands in a couple days.

Let me know what you all think of the color please.

You're correct Al on the GT concept.

I always loved that GT design and was wanting to use that concept in my car, the Ring Brothers just made it happen. :unibrow:

As for more pictures, I'm going to hold off till it hits SEMA. After Sema I will flood you all with a ton more build pictures for sure.

Although I'm not a fan of everything Ring does, their absolute greatest strength is colors and coatings and coordination of same. That color looks like breathtaking - not to mention bold and different. I can't wait to see what coatings (wheels, engine bay, etc.) and interior colors they choose.

[ja.stoner63]

I followed the Ring Brothers for Years before deciding to go that route. Their attention to detail is over the top in my eyes.

I'm digging the color as well. It looks kind of like a deep burgandy with a ton of pearl in it that flops like crazy depending on the light.

Your post just reminded me to register for SEMA. I wanna see this thing. It's going to be awesome (not that the in progress photos aren't).

When the car is done, are you going to bring it to Good Guys in November?

[coolwelder62]

Man I am liking this car alot.IMHO it will be the nicest one from the ring Bros. yet.:thumbsup:

Yes, I can't wait... After SEMA it will come to Scottsdale, then maybe CA.

I'm hoping I can talk the Rings into dropping off at my garage for the Weekend.:thumbsup: :D

I love how fat the front tires are 18x10!:wow:

Great build, but IMO the front spoiler, the side skirts and the 2 enormous holes in the rear valence are a little too "rice", "tuning" (fast and furious style)for me....otherwise respect for the quality.

I agree seems a little over done and looks alittle busy and ricer like, in the fascia dept. but wow another incredible build.

[tones2SS]

Very nice. Paint looks sick and the color combo is awesome!:thumbsup:

[speedshftr]

really nice car.do they have a down draft booth?i feel like my car is a turd now:(

[NOPANTS68]

Just went through your whole thread. That's the best Mustang I have ever seen. RBs score again.

[NovaBlue71]

Great project , workmanship is fliping awesome but would not expect any less from the ring bros crew. Love the color too.Have fun at sema :thumbsup: Joe

[Al Moreno]

I would hold any reservation until seen in person. I know when I saw Razor in pictures, there's thing I'd probably done different. Until you see it in person and and all that change.

This car IMO is going to raise the bar for any prior RB build and that's saying a lot! I can't wait to see it at SEMA.

JA thanks for posting. :thumbsup:

If you can post some more with giving it all away, that would be great.

[Musclerodz]

That thing is sick! I can't wait for SEMA

[Young Gun]

A rather large part of me just died inside knowing I could never have something this gorgeous...

[ja.stoner63]

Thanks for all the feedback...
I really wanted something that would be unique. There are so many cars that after awhile start to look the same. I would agree at first look the exhaust looks out of place. But when you see in person, it just grabs your attention and compliments the whole car from the front to the rear, inside and out.
The Ring Brothers have the talent that dreams are made from...I love it.
And it's all mine.:willy: Can't wait to burn past the first set of tires.

Now that the body & paint is done Jim Ring jumps in and starts the wiring.

that avalanche looks to be almost the same color, that where you got it from?

[speedshftr]

are those brake lines or ?running alongside the trans tunnel.hats off on a incredible car.:hail:

[ja.stoner63]

It does look close. But it was a custom blend.

[ja.stoner63]

I think lines are run inside to keep the weather off and to clean up the underside. I'm going to have to purchase a rotisserie just so I can enjoy the underside.:bow:

Rice burner? The reason for the larger than life intake and exhaust is I'll be chewing the rice burners up and spitting them out.:unibrow: :rofl: :rofl:

Thanks for the input.:thumbsup:

:D I'll be spending alot of time staring at this car at SEMA- nice job- I just have on litte tiny complaint.....MORE PICS!!!!- Chris

[mike343sharpstk]

I have my fingers crossed that one day I will see this thing driven in anger at one of the Muscle Car shootouts. Hell, I would get on a flight to Vegas to see this bad boy thrashing corners at the Ultimate Street Car Challenge after SEMA.

Oh, great!:_paranoid
I just was released out of anger management class.:willy:

[mike343sharpstk]

Perfect, now you can “manage” to find some anger and put it to good use after the perma-grin of seeing your completed car at SEMA:P

[nvr2fst]

WOW, great color choice. The Ring boys are doing you justice. Last time I seen this car it was being prepped for metal when I stopped by. Im liking it better than Reactor.

[ja.stoner63]

Couple more pictures. Thanks for the Feedback.
