71 Finally Painted

[VintageUpgrades]

Hey Vintage, which Art Morrison did you use for the rear? I'm wanting to do something exactly like that, but haven't been able to figure out which suspension I want to use.

It is the back half of their Mustang Max-G full chassis.

I love the headlights! The whole thing looks great.

 

[Triostang]

I am impressed. Maybe I will have you work on my boss

 

[VintageUpgrades]

Sorry it has been so long. Other projects have given us some major problems. I have added a few photos to the album.

Wow. What year dash is that and what engine is a 521?

How difficult was it to install a 70 dash in the 71 mustang. It looks great btw, I have just never seen it. Gives me ideas for my next mustang. 460? Damn that sounds badass.

Do want!

Do want!

Worse. Must have!!!!!

I love the way the bumpers are shaped into the body lines of the car.

That´s some amazing workmanship there!

Hey, where are you in Houston? I want to see that car close up. I love the bumpers and wanted to do the same but did not know how to do it.

I know most of us are not spending major money on our rides, but no one has told that to any of our customers. Along with this 71, we are building a 65, 66, 67, 69, and 70 Mustang.

So in answer to your question, I need more hours in a day, or a way to clone myself. The cloning bit would be interesting, I could finally talk to myself and get an answer.

The fuel tank came out great. It is at the powder coater along with a truckload of other parts. We are building the fuel system this week along with oil and transmission coolers. Next week is exhaust, then off to get an interior.

Our goal is a show Thanksgiving weekend.
