another 65 mustang project

[REAL BOB JOHNSON]

I'm building another FORD. People that know me don't know why because I have so many chevys But these were my first cars that I drove in school days. This car I'm going to try a little autocross with. It started life a pretty rust free car and that allways makes a better car It's going to have all of Detroit speeds suspension with a all aluminum 427 small block with yates Cleveland heads with stacked hilborn injectors a T-56 6 speed and a 9in 4 link rear. Body mods, Maier flairs,apron,shelby hood and side windows and custom rear spoiler

Always a pleasure watching your builds Bob. Because of you I now have a black pro touring Z28 instead of a Yenko. Still cant figure out if I want to change the grille to a silver color.

[REAL BOB JOHNSON]

Finely painted now the fun part started

[65fstbkNFB]

Awesome build! Love the 427 SBF. I will definitely be following this.

[REAL BOB JOHNSON]

Moving right along. Got all of the DSE sus. installed and got a wheelworks wheel adapter to measure wheel back spacing and it works pretty good. 275 and 335 tires on 18 by 10 and 18 by 12

[Track Junky]

Great color choice. Can you do me a favor and pm Greg Weld info on the guy that did the flares so I don't have to hear him whine about his skinny tires anymore.

[REAL BOB JOHNSON]

I do all my own work they are maier flairs

[WSSix]

Looking good, Bob. Do you still have the rear engine Mach 1? Putting these two cars together for a photo shoot would be a great idea if you still have that car.

[REAL BOB JOHNSON]

oh yea probably my favorite one

[REAL BOB JOHNSON]

forge line wheels

[DBasher]

Looks great Bob, have you got any pictures of the rear flares being installed?
:thumbsup:

[REAL BOB JOHNSON]

I really want to see this one in person and the Mach1 for that matter. You ever come out to Caffeine and Octane, Bob?

[taxidermy man]

Was wondering where you got the Shelby lettered valve covers? I have a set from back in the day, but didn't know if they were repoping them or not. Love your car.

[Sieg]

Nice work once again Bob! :thumbsup:

[REAL BOB JOHNSON]

yes I do go there but I haven't been there this year Trying to get it done to do some autocross and optima challenge and waiting on the front wheels now and yes the valve covers are NOS I've had

[65 347]

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome!!

Mike

[WSSix]

Good luck making the Optima events, Bob. C&O has moved from Alpharetta to Perimeter Mall off Ashford Dunwoody.

[REAL BOB JOHNSON]

[Flash68]

Bob, that is outstanding! Nailed it.

Why you gotta make so many people look bad by knocking this out so quickly?

Gold is the new black...

Andrew

But gold has been there before. Black was a rookie.

[Neil B]

Awesome!
