Thanks
 
Those look nice but they are a little spendy. Scott

What did you have to do in the rear to get the TCP to fit?

64pontiac 06-25-2011 09:27 PM

Bryce, to get the TCP rear suspension to fit we had to modify the mounting flanges where it meets the frame rails. We had virgin rails without rust or twist, and it didnt seem to fit.

Also, they make it a "bolt in" but once you weld on the side plates, it becomes permanently captured in there, making the bolt in feature useless/irrelevant? So we modified it to make it a true bolt in, therefore if the customer ever desires it can be removed in the future.

The graverobbers tubs look like they will be nice pieces to use!

A couple of updates:

Customer had found an oldschool fiberglass teardrop hood. Problem was it was over 4 inches tall in the middle, so we cut it down and are re-glassing it.

We ended up adding a front valance, as the fiberglass shelby style front valance was too "overdone"? on the mustangs.... sorry Bryce didnt mean anything by that, I meant on the mustang not a falcon!

Did a nice little spoiler that carries into the wheel arch...... turned out nice.

The lower bead rolls were and afterthought...... never see them anyways! Trying to stay on a budget on this one!

Added openings for the dual exhaust tips.

Off to paint!!!! These wheels are not the ones that are going to be on the car when its done......... Customer had them previously but are not the right offset for this build.

There will be a ton of extra parts available after this one is done! I will try and do a classified add later if your looking, just wait for the post in classifieds

Looking great Tyler!:thumbsup:

So we are trying to finish up some projects that have been hanging around for awhile, and the 67 is on the top of the list.

Since it has come back from paint, we have been getting the drivetrain and mechanical in. Had issues with the engine/engine builder but seem to have all that straightened out. The color on the car is Ford White Chocolate, its a tri stage.

Wwe decided to go with a retrotek efi throttle body, so we added a pump mount to the tank.

The firewall never had all the holes welded up, as originally alot of stock style stuff was going back in, so we had to come up with a way to cover all the holes.

The lokar gas pedal mount was thrown out and we made a new firewall cover there. Also, we went to a hydraulic throwout bearing so we made a plate to mount the wilwood master and cover the factory wiring holes

This plate covers up two wire holes and provides a spot for the power feeds for the efi throttle body.

We went with a different color scheme than the typical cobra valve covers and air cleaner to try and pull the suspension powdercoating, dash color, and the red msd cap and wires into the white.

Oh and the booster had to be rebuilt to work around the hydraulic clutch master.....
