Ringbrothers Shop 66 Mustang Fastback

[Ringbrothers]

The guys decided to build a shop car that they can autocross - they were tired of watching everyone else have all the fun. Too bad Mike and Jim can't drive.

We have a lot of people to thank for making this project possible:
Keith Craft (http://www.keithcraft.com), Chris Alston's Chassisworks (http://www.cachassisworks.com), Foreline Wheels (http://www.forgeline.com), American Power Train (http://www.americanpowertrain.com), Tremec Transmissions (http://www.tremec.com/), Be Cool Radiators (http://www.becool.com), Fuel Safe Fuel Cells (http://www.vintageair.com), Vintage Air (http://www.vintageair.com), I Did It (http://www.ididitinc.com), Heat Shield Products (http://www.heatshieldproducts.com), BF Goodrich Tires (http://www.bfgoodrichtires.com), Flowmaster Mufflers (http://www.flowmastermufflers.com), Royal Purple (http://www.royalpurple.com), Classic Instruments (http://www.classicinstruments.com), Baer Brakes (http://www.baer.com)

Without the help of everyone involved including our staff members this project wouldn't be happening. Thank you!

I think it sits a little high for autocross. Just my Opinion. The wheels might be a little small also. But other then that, :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

The swivel casters are set up for those really tight courses. I can only assume that the ride height was strategically chosen to keep them from clipping any cones with the bumpers or rocker panels. :thumbsup:

All kidding aside - I can't wait to see them thrash on it. Just make sure they don't make it so damn perfect that they don't want it to get some cone rash!!!! ;)

http://www.xpel.com/ will protect it from the cone rash

Great project, look forward to seeing the build up.

[Ringbrothers]

Mike said we needed extra ground clearance for the transfer case. Don't worry they aren't very fast anyway. Dumb and dumber can't drive anyway.
They are building high enough so they can drive OVER the cones without knocking them over. You all wish you would have thought of that!

[ironworks]

Those frame rails look awesome. I thought I was the only one dumb enough to put that much time into rear frame rails that you will never once all the sheetmetal is on, unless you happen to flip the car.

Looks good guys.

it never ceases to amaze me how observent you are. i think you nailed it.

Mike i agree with Rodger you will need larger wheels. those bearings will never last!!

:cheers:

HMMM, where have I seen that frame rail look before?
Great choice for a shop car guys, looks like it was pretty clean body wise to begin with.

[WILWAXU]

Hmm.. what's the story on the 2nd Gen Camaro in the background? :D

I will try to get that on here soon. I have some stuff on our website but it will be updated within a week.

Hey Twinkee---do Mike and Jim ever actually come onto the board and read what you put on here? :lol:

I do get in trouble every once in a while. We have a lot of fun here though - I wish I could post a camera. Then everyone would have pitty on me!

[Ringbrothers]

The guys over at Wheel Works (http://www.wheelworksinc.com) took the guess work out of wheel fitment - thank you!

That cantilever set-up looks like maybe it's pre-fab? Is it a kit from somewhere?


Jeff-

[BuiltByBrooks]

Looking really good!!!

[BBC71Nova]

A RingBrothers "shop car" HA! This is gonna be good :D It already looks far too crazy nice for any "shop car" I've seen.

BTW, I'm super envious of all you fab geniuses :hail: . Makes sitting behind the desk at a computer all day that much more painful.

I think it might be from Maier Racing...

I have to say though, it looks like you guys are almost having too much fun for a car that isn't finished.

=======================
Looks like your starting off with a great shell. DO you have an ectra one sitting around? :unibrow:

[68/Camaro]

Another great project! :hail: my hats off to all the crew @ Ringbothers!!!:thumbsup:

[GrabberGT]

I think it might be from Maier Racing...

Matt

I agree, it does look like Maier racings new rear design but I didnt see Maier Racing in the list of contributers to this project. It looks like they may be experimenting with the coil-over placement from the TCP cantilever rear setup. Or maybe they just set them up there while working on something else. :unibrow:

[ironworks]

The rocker system in the back, looks like parts from Chassisworks. They use something similar on the pushrod rocker system they sell for mustangs. Plus those are Varishocks from Chassisworks hooked to the Rockers.

Come on guys what is taking so long? Are you going to have this car done for Columbus?........

[Ringbrothers]

Matt

It's all Chris Alston that we are modifying because they didn't want the cage under the car.

[65 347]

I can't wait to see what kind of hood the guys come up with. I need one and am looking for something different.

Looks good so far!

[Matt@BOS]

It's all Chris Alston that we are modifying because they didn't want the cage under the car.

I really want to say "well, aren't you guys special," in a sarcastic tone, but that is actually pretty special and cool.

[66GTFB]

Any updates on this project guys? Can't wait to see this one finished. What size wheel and tyre combo are you going to run?

Joe.

[Ringbrothers]

Sorry its been a while. Now I'm going to overload you.

[Al Moreno]

WOW, two killer ride at this years SEMA. Jim and Mike must not sleep!:hail:

[66GTFB]

Is that a carbon roof skin I see in the rendering? Looks awesome. What size wheel and tire combo are you guys going with? Can't wait to see it finished, only about a month to go.

[ironworks]

What happened to the pushrod suspension in the rear? That was bitchin....

[ssdesign]

Your correct on the roof. Its a Carbon piece
The wheels on the car are Forgelines that look similar to the rendering. Not quite the same but very close. And I believe they are painted darker..
You'll have to ask Mike and Jim on proper specs for sizing..
thanks!:thumbsup:

[tones2SS]

Sick, sick, sick! I love all the Mustang pro-builds going on right now, and I'm a GM guy...!

HA HA!! You said it brother. Gotta love the early 'stand pro-tour builds.
Amazing work guys. I'm digging that exhaust idea. KILLER!:thumbsup: :cheers:

[Ringbrothers]

Wheel sizes are 12" rear, 10" front - that's all I got of Mike this morning.
I think this last month is going to be a little stressful.

Im sure its a 335 but when you put it on a tiny lil mustang!:lol: they look crazy big.:P
man ring bros are the best!!!

[Ringbrothers]

whats the color called? GM just came out with a new Blue on the corvette called Supersonic blue..looks very close to it...it is a steel blue color isnt it??

The camera skews the color quite a bit. The color name is Thunder Blue - its a BMW color. Does look greyish to me but bluer than the pictures show if that makes any sense.
Staci

[GregWeld]

Staci ---

You're killin' me.... :D

The photos sure make it look GREY and one or two have a slight blue tint making it appear that it was a lighting issue with the photos.

Reminds me of the old ads --- "only her hair dresser knows...." :unibrow:

[Blake Foster]

good choice on the wheels

[michael ring]

Sorry, having trouble downloading the video off youtube but it shows the first video'ed test run of the car. It also is on our facebook page as well. If someone manages to download it on to this website, that would be great.

Sure looks like Jim's driving not Mike. Mikes the old fart, aka "Matrix Mike"

Greay work guys and Staci, looks like a true contender the way you dominated the frontage road. (Not once have I seen a cop in that small town of yours) I think you guys are the best in the biz when it comes to color selection on all your builds :thumbsup: Hey Mike, whens the boy get to drive it, if Im not mistaken he's no longer on a learners permit and you dont have to drive him to Culvers anymore. Just once Dad!

[Flash68]

Now sure how I missed this thread. Great color, great sound, and the perfect break-in right out the gate! :D

[Vegas69]

Hell yes, I've always dug the Ring Bros. but now I have a new found respect. Killer car and they don't mind a little beating before the trophy. :lol:

Love the new nick name "Matrix Mike".

Mike told me once a year ago he hates thrashing on the cars after all the painful work...on the other hand Jim loves to step in and make it happen.

I can't wait to drop the pedal on DRAGON. Sorry Mike!:wow:

The purpose of this build was to have a car that the guys designed that they can drive. We haven't been able to participate in the auto cross events because we've always had a customer's car. This year the boys will be in every event that they can.
We are going to kick off the year with the:
Optima Batteries Ultimate Streetcar Invitational (http://www.optimainvitational.com/)

Awesome!

Do you know the weight of the car?

[ja.stoner63]

That carbon fiber roof is sick!

Another fine job!:hail: :hail: :hail:

[tones2SS]

WOW!!!:wow: :thumbsup:
Awesome car. Looks great. Love the CF roof.

[Evan Iroc-Z]

Your car looks amazing! I love the roof.

On a side note, does that warning really say you were in a Lincoln MKS? If so that was nice of them not putting the Mustang on there.

Modern ROLLER CAM motors need no break in proceedure... fire 'em off and go drive. The rings are good to go by the time you've degreed the cam. BUT (there's always a big butt) I'd break in the ring and pinion and bed the brakes...

[1fine1969]

Thats awsome you guys should have alot of fun with that car.

What a killer car.:cheers:

[speedshftr]

sweet car but cant get used to the red side mirrors really reminds me of the yellow ones on stoners mustang.still way nicer than anything ill ever have

[nvr2fst]

Personally I like the red accents. It enhances the body color and gives it a little more flare towards a track car.
My 2cents

[Kendall Burleson]

I like the red also I like it killer job.

[ArisESQ]

is that the gas cap up in the vent?? looks rad

[70supersport]

ok just got back from sema seen both mustangs,cant tell you how sweet they are but what else could you expect from them, but my question is when do we get to see a 66-67 nova or chevelle from you guys that would be very interesting to see more coolness?:bow:

when someone pays them to build one

[Musclerodz]

The shop car is awesome. Lots of trick parts just like any RB build. So many cool touches it will take awhile to find them all

[tones2SS]

Amazing build. Car looks awesome.:thumbsup: :cheers:

You know I was coming back to enjoy this build thread and was just wondering if anyone at Ring Bros wanted to share anymore on that CF roof skin. Are there any closeup pictures of the roof ? The only ones I saw were not detailed enough. The early Mustangs did not have a removable roof panel like newer cars. So I'm wondering if this was the technique used -

The middle section of the roof was cut off

A flanging tool was used to form a step so that the CF roof could fit flush, or flange pieces were made separately and welded to the remaining roof.

I'd think the CF roof must have been at least 1/8" thick, which is a fairly large flange to make in the roof metal, but making a separate 1/8 flange would also be hard to curve, its not like you can put it in the shrinker although I guess you could hammer a curvature into.

I'd just be real curious about more details on this. I'll look closer at the roof photos but its hard to see that detail.
