    "Ugly Pony" Drift car project

    I have officially named the car in what seemed to me to be the most fitting way possible. . . By spray painting it across the naturally rusty hood of course! The build won't really start until I finish putting my trucks turbo back on but hopefully it won't be too long before I get to start...

    "Ugly Pony" Drift car project

    I am going to do some sort of full tube frame and upgrade in the front. I am gonna go with big disc and probably 4 or 6 piston calipers as well as a steering rack and fully custom knuckles to allow for more angle and 0 ackerman. I will hopefully start seriously building it in the next month or...

    "Ugly Pony" Drift car project

    Yeah it's a more of for fun and the laughs the car will generate as they see me trolling down the street lol. That's why I got on this forum, as I don't know a lot about this age of mustang. I know what a drift car needs and how to achieve it but I don't know the little "quirks" about these cars...

    Does anyone know anything about doing sequential transmissions?

    I want to do a sequential transmission in my mustang 302, but I know nothing of the subject of this type of trans. Any and all knowledge/advice is welcome. Thanks!

    "Ugly Pony" Drift car project

    That's a part of the reason why I am converting to rack and pinion. I am also going to have to shorten the steering arms on the knuckles to make them get more angle. Not to mention all the cutting for clearance at full lock. BTW I like the video of your mustang, it's really well done and looks...

    "Ugly Pony" Drift car project

    The only other time I have seen a drift car like this is the Hoonicorn but that thing is only 1% of the original car considering that the whole thing is a tube frame with an early mustang coupe body welded on

    "Ugly Pony" Drift car project

    I've had a 71 Mustang Grande for roughly 6 Years and it has sat dormant in my driveway for about the last 3 years. I have finally gotten to the point I want to see it do something cool and go from it's last legs of life to burning rubber and hitting serious angle. I have a full overhaul of the...

    New to the Forum, Hello!

    Y'all asked for photos so here's the "Ugly Pony". Sorry for the wait, I couldn't figure out how to get photos from my iPhone onto my laptop. Hope y'all enjoy. I'll be soon to post them up on the build forum too. See you there!

    Plenty of Parts from 71 Mustang

    I am stripping the whole interior from my 1971 Ford mustang. All of the chrome trim is going as well. (Around the front wheel wells, rocker strips, and some of the vinyl roof trim is in repairable condition) I have an ac compressor which I believe to be broken. Eventually I'll be removing the...

    New to the Forum, Hello!

    I've Had my 71 Mustang for years and only now found this forum. My Mustang was my first car and has sat since its auto trans took a dump. I have since taken to building the most absurd thing to hit the streets I can handle. I have a full plan on making it into a sort of full on drift/autocross...
