The past 2 days I have managed to get some work done on my 67 Fastback mustang named "Terminator" This name came about from the drivetrain that is used in the 2003 Cobra mustangs That were originally called Terminators from Ford.
Yesterday I got the engine monted in place and today I put the front suspension in and managed to get it in rolling form . Tomorrow I wil be making a trans crossmember and starting on steering column joint placement along with making brackets for the Vintage Air Gen2 compac.
My plan is to have this car running in the state is is now . then back apart for paint.
I will post the rendering of it soon . Scott Can you help ?
Some details are:
All shelby bodywork, NO Eleanor crap !
Bear 13" brakes front and rear
DPE wheels
Heidts front end
9" with Maier Racing springs and panhard bar
2003 Cobra engine and T56 , 450rwhp
Ricks custom tank
Center exhaust
Blah, blah , blah....

Kyle was nice enough to let me try out a set, They are called "wheel around"
Tomorrow i will see how well it moves with the engine in, I plan to move it outside and get some other pics and bolt up brakes and try a set of mock up 2003 cobra wheels to get some backspacing ideas and fitment. When i get the fenders on and other wheels i will post some more pics.

I think you would make more of an impact if you went with a real color. If the car is going to be sold then some variation of a burnt/sunset orange with a metallic stripe. A variation on the shelby stripe would be cool. You want it to "look" factory, but be custom. That way is won't look dated down the line.
If I had a nickle for every silver/grey shelby stiriped Mustang I've seen.. It's a "safe" color but not a very exciting choice.

I understand really , I am open to other colors and nothing is set in stone yet . I like your color of your car and did think of that color also . I like suttle things that catch your eye. thanks for the constructive critisum, I will see what happens

well if it makes you feel any better the wagon is going up for sale . The Camaro I built with the money from my 69 camaro and the 72 chevelle i sold .The camaro I bought right before the camaros started going nuts, I did a smart LS1 swap and did well on selling it , That helped a lot. Real estate prices in my area helped a lot also .
I am a car dealer also

Dats the stang looks like it will be sweet, but I have to make the standard post here the wheels are to big in my opinion and I think you should really move to a taller side wall those are going to bend the wheel the first bump you hit......................but that is just my opinion stangs cant run that low a profile...........LOL......LOL......LOL........... ROFLMAO (for those that dont know rolling on floor laughing my ass off) :lol: :rofl: :_paranoid

I'm jumping on the "Color" band wagon. At the very least, choose a real color for the stripes.

Hey Roger, where have you been ? How is your beautiful GTO ?
My place is nothing like DSE, but it gets the job done. Soon we are moving into a MUCH larger Facility.
