I'm pretty sure the carbon fiber accounted for about a 400lb weight savings. And yes, there are some carbon fiber pieces covered by paint, but everything you see now will stay.

Update: We just got the new upholstery finished! It may look grey in the photos, but it's black leather with black suede. And it smells great!:)

The car came out gorgous, what a difference these updates will make. Are those the original seats recovered ? Very nice.

Thanks! The rear seats and door cards are original, the front seats are new—much more supportive and comfortable

There's more info on the major "update" here: (the chassis)

Do you guys do the body and paint in house or sub it out? Car looks great for a Ford :lol: J/K let's see some shots of the engine??

Rick,
The owner of the car managed the paint and bodywork. Meaning, we worked with a bodyshop he chose.

Typically, we have a specific local shop, whom we trust very much, do the paint and bodywork.

Jeff, any engine bay pics? Car looks great :thumbsup:

[67XR7]

Never thought I'd have to say this but: "Nice ford powered Mustang" LOL

[Schwartz Perf]

Well that doesn't suck!! :thumbsup: How much power is that bad boy putting out?

iirc, it should be about 620hp.

A much longer vid would be a nice holiday gift for your fellow lat-g members. :D
