68 mustang coupe

My car just got done over at Scott Moss's house. He finished up installing my suspension and roll cage and i couldnt ask for much more! Scotts been great help, and im glad he could get me set up so i can start throwing everything together on my car now! I've missed it everyday it was gone haha! Hope he doesnt get made for me posting pics before i grinded down and shaped up the shock towers, but this is the project section, and its still under construction haha! Plus his welds on the cross member and everything are pretty! Sorry the pictures are terrible, ill get some better ones and more in detail of the suspension here in a few days. We just unloaded it off the trailer and didnt have much time to mess around with it sadly. anyways specs are:

Mustang II cross member
Mustang II A Arms
SN95 spindles
Maximum motorsports MM3 custom bilstein struts with there coilover kit
front hypercoil spring rate 425
Maximum motorsports caster/camber plates
Rear suspension is out of 03-04 cobra (independant rear suspension)
MM's MM3 coilovers
rear hypercoil spring rate 700 (remember its IRS the road angle changes the spring rate in a sumed up way)
Maximum motorsports delrin bushings, tie rods, end links, etc soon to be installed probably during disassembly for paint, but thats sometime from now!

Scott used the upper shock towers from an 04 and fabbed the rest in. The rear shock towers he fabbed up completly from scratch. This came out really good and cant wait to keep trucking along to get this baby to the track to see how it works out. Should do just fine! (after some driving lessons/classes HAHA!) Ill post some better pics in detail of the suspension like i said here soon!

forgot to mention, no ride height hasnt been set at all! Its not even close, so dont judge yet! Plus fenders still need to be rolled, hopefuly Scott will let me barrow his eastwood roller so i can get that done here soon.

yes unfortunatly im young and am full blown into my mechanic career world. Doesnt leave much time for me to work on the car or much money :( . Take every second i can though. Hopefully here soon we will have a junior Stielow in the family. My little bros at KU :woot: going to engineering school hoping to land a job with one of the automotive companies out there :thumbsup:

seats just showed up! Been waiting around 3 weeks for them. They have been on back order probably due do "race" season starting up. Should have figured and planned alittle better :rolleyes: They are so comfortable to! Though sitting in them on my living room floor is alittle different then a few hundred miles or something along those lines in them. Also been making a few changes on the front suspension to help with all the alignment specs, and geometry of it all. Will post pics up of the changes once im done here in a few days! Heres a pic of the seats, its the corbeau A4 black suede with the optional hole cut out in the center of the bottom cushion for harness.

just a few pics of what ive done acouple weeks ago. The long block assemblied, and now its almost completely done. Modded the seat pans to sit lower to the floor, im 6' 4" so i need the extra headroom ;) last but not lease scott mock fabbed up an adapter to solve my sparco 3 bolt pattern wheel to fit my grant 3 bolt pattern quick release. Ill update more of the recent stuff here soon :D

HAHA im shooting for goodguys in 2 years Scott! No, but seriously the shop im working out has to slow down soon. Hopefully since summers about over. These 10-12 hour days pretty much everyday are making it impossible to spend anytime working on it. That and finding someone to help me. Just holding things etc. about to make the girlfriend suck it up and get to work :D Ive got a house full of parts they just need fabbed/installed! Maybe i should rent you for a week Scott and we can thrash hard and maybe i can get something done for once :rofl:

[coolwelder62]
