69 Mustang Conv. G-Machine - Lateral-g Forums

HRBS · #1 12-04-2006, 06:29 PM

We have been growing pretty steadily and have 3 new exciting projects on board. Two are still too early to introduce but this on isnt.
Currently we are transforming this classic 1969 Ford Conv. into a modern G-Machine. It'll be powered by a supercharged, fuel Injected Cobra drivetrain ('93 Cobra: 5.0L, AOD and a '94 Cobra 8.8" Rear) and will be equiped with an Air Ride suspension. It will ride on 17”/18” Boze Forged Alloy wheels painted matte black to match the shelby striped hood. The body will receive several subtle changes and the black leather and suede will resemble that of an '07 interior on this build.
A BIG thanks to John @ Midnight Octane for bringing my design to life through his awsome Rendering skills. Now its up to us to make it a reality and debut this car in June at the All Ford Nationals in Carlisle Pa.

Thanks guys, especially Steve, FINALLY - not a 1st gen Camaro LOL! Being a Mustang guy it was great to actually do a Mustang. Steve's got plenty of great ideas and working with Steve on a project was great since I like the type of styling and overall look that he tries to acheive in his builds. I am just nuts over the metallic orange Nova on his site! Steve was back and forth on a couple of wheels and chose to go the direction of the 6-spoke. I agree, something a little different looking and fits the look of the car.

I'm surprised Ben, you didn't catch the seude-look texture on the center of the seats LOL!

Actually I noticed it yesterday on my second look...frikken sweet! I also like the extremely subtle flat hood stripe. Beautiful, just beautiful.

Ha.. thanks guys. John... I still dont know how you did the suede look, but i guess those pictures helped.Its amazing how real it looks. The wheels are my favortie part.... they really capture the stealth 'Sinister' look we were after. It actually took my client a few days to get back to me on his thoughts because he said he was too busy showing the rendering off to everone. It was a home run !

The rendering and project look sweet

I'm really liking the '69 Mustang body style. Keep us posted with some pics.

Love it John, awesome as always!! BTW I noticed the seats during the first glance!

Good luck with the build Steve....keep the pics coming!!

Pics ?
Here are a few I have now.... This car is being torn down as we speak. So these are what it 'started' out as. The story behind why the interior was done first is that my upholsterer is moving down south. So, knowing the car wouldnt be completed before he left, we did the upholstery first.

Looks like a completely AWESOME project! I'm looking forward to watching the car come together.

What are you planning on doing with the front suspension?

Also, be sure you want that AOD, unless you're really familiar with them. They kind of suck (and "kind of" being an understatement). You might want to look into an AODE or 4R70W. But then again, if you're familiar with the AOD, I'm sure you have it covered.
