Thought I'd post up a pic of a new project I just started. It's going to be a full build for street and track days. Doing a full frame for it with a DSE chevy II front clip and a Art Morrison three link rear clip. Also has a built viper t56, 607hp ls3:_paranoid. All details aren't figured out yet, but it should be fun. I'll post up pics along the way.

Looks real cool. You know Ford just came out with this really COOL 5.0 that would drop right in that Mustang.:unibrow:

Is this the same Mustang that had cameo appearances throughout your Nova build thread?

Either way I am excited! I was absolutely in love with the detail and thoroughness of your Nova build up plus I am a huge fan of the '67-'68 Fastback body style so I can't wait to see what you do here.:D

I also wouldn't mind seeing a "Coyote" V8 in there. :_paranoid

That's awesome Billy. Sounds like a great build.
If it's anything like your Nova, it will be bad ass for sure.:thumbsup:

Thanks, buddy, for teasing us with ONE pic.... Come on..... We all know that you have other pics to share.

Looking forward to seeing many more!

How about a few more (easy) particulars, like ride height, etc.

If he was a Ford guy he wouldn't want an LS.

Looks like a really nicely done build. I like the three link out back. Those floorpans are pretty sick. The quality of the build is almost distracting enough to keep me from looking under the hood.... Almost.

Still a great car.:hail:

After doing just a little bit here and there on the mustang over the past couple years. We finally have a completion timeline of this year, and are back working on it. Here are a couple current photos of the project.

It is gorgeous for sure. Is that a kink in the rollbar or an optical illusion?

Gorgeous is right!
I think you're seeing the edge of the passenger door jamb against the rollbar.
