We have been hammering away on the Boss Snake.. Here are a few updated pics for you all.. The first is a filler panel we made to go between the lower area of the rad support and the lower valance.. Not only does it look cleaner but it strengthens the fiberglass valance if you clip a yellow cone or two with it..:thumbsup: The second pis is a panel we made to cover the rear floor area.. Under the panel is where the air tanks are mounted for the suspension, Third pic is a panel we made on the inside of the engine bay that flows off of the bottom of the radiator, again just to give the engine compartment a cleaner look. Pics four through seven and pic eight is the work we did to the rear bumper.. The gap between the bumper ends and the taillight panels was a bit to much for our liking.. We cut apart the bumper and added to the ends for a tighter fit. We also sucked the bumper in tighter to the body. Lastly is the dash we are making for the car. In this pic it is in the early stages.. It is undergoing changes as we speak...
|
The car is looking is great.
I really like how the dash is turning out. |

Second is the dash we fabricated, third is the headers we had to fab to fit on the very large motor in the very small hole :lol: , lastly are the rear interior panels that will get powder coated then wrapped... We will start on the body work today and hope to have it painted with in a week!! Coming down to the wire!! Stay tuned!!

Thanks for all your compliments guys.. We are prety much done with all the fab work and the body work starts at sunrise tomorrow... Hope to have the car painted before we leave for Autorama next Wednesday morning. Here are some more pics.... We cut the center of the fiberglass good out and built a scoop to resemble the one in the rendering. We also carried the scoop back on to the wiper cowl to give it a finished look.... We also made a panel to hold the defroster vents in the top of the dash and cut holes for the Kicker tweeters... We fabbed a fuel filler neck out of stainless.... Lastly we made an exhaust tip that exits under the center of the bumper out of the roll pan like in the rendering as well...

Wow! The car is looking fantastic. I'm really excited to see pictures of it coming together. I feel like it isn't often that you see this body-style Mustang getting the Shelby treatment either. Again, looks great!

Late in the 4th quarter last night we put the motor and trans in for the final time... We designed the motor mounts/plates and then powder coated them... 6 Days and counting!!! More pics of todays progress to follow... :unibrow:
|
I really like how you coordinated the battery tops with the paint color.... NICE :D
|
car looks aweome - i can't wait to see it in person.
|
Once the carpet and headliner are in, all of that extra time you spent laying out the dynamat so there is no overlap and all the logos line up should really pay off! :lol: Don't worry, we do the same sh*t on every car we build too.
The car is looking great. This thing is way over the top for a give away car. 13 days with 4 guys working 24 hours ends up being like 1,200 hours. Should be more than enough time to finish the build! |
The car looks great. I can't wait to see it finnished. You guy's are amazing.

Well I am proud to say the car was completed and made the trip to Scottsdale!! We honestly worked around the clock the last week to make it happen... One of our guys stayed in the shop working 48 hours straight... Thanks to all that helped make this car come together... 1st pic, fenders on, coming together nicely... 2nd pic, back end about buttoned up, 3rd pic, Hood that we custom made from the hood in eariler pics.. We cut the center out and made our own scoop.. 4th and 5th pic, we had to make new covers for the export braces due to the custom inner shock towers not allowing enough clearance under the hood. 6th, 7th and 8th engine buttoned up and ready to run... 9th the custom hood and cowl panel bolted down for the final time and lastly the front of the car coming together for the final time..

more pics of the finished product...As you can see in the first pic the Monster Drinks were everywhere!! you would have thought they were a key sponsor. We took it for a quick shake down... The car is a beast!! We wish we had more time to tweek the car a little but it had to go.. The car seemed very well received at the show and we look forward to getting it back and fine tuning it..
|
Car looks awesome! Is it back at the shop or out with the Goodguys circuit?

Here are a few more finished pics... At the end of the weekend it was loaded in to the Goodguys hauler and will be on tour for a little while... We will get it back in around a month to go over the car and fine tune everything...
|
Looks sick for a body style I am not fond of. Can't wait to see later this year.

Just an update... We have the Boss Snake back at the shop to take care of a few minor bugs that needed worked out... We worked around the clock to finish the car before its debut and the test drive consisted of .5 miles round trip... There was no time for anything else to happen, it had to go in the trailer and head to Scottsdale... We have the trans pulled to make a few adjustments and the front wheels were sent back to Intro to be rehooped because the offset was incorrect originally.. We are also going to install sway bars so we are ready to attack the Goodguys autocross!!
|
The car came out beautiful! Very nice work.
|
Just got my GoodGuys magazine -- with the Boss Snake on the cover...
Only thing that jumps out at me is the "mess" on the lower airbag(?). It sure sticks out like a sore thumb. |
Hey Curt just saw a video on youtube of the Boss Mustang in Nashville. Gotta say that is the true definition of "drive it like you stole it"! I could only imagine how you drive a rental!
