I went over to Rick Flores' shop on Sunday to test fit my Fikse's on his Boss. My car will have the same ride height as his. Rick's Boss was in PHR a few years ago and he built the two Mustangs that were at the Baer booth last year..

It is hard to tell from the pictures, did you shave the drip rails on the stang?
As usual, looking great. :thumbsup:

Looks great and it appears the wheels fit nicely too!! Can't wait to see it assembled and parked next to the Camaro!!

drip rail
 

they're gone. easy to see in the primer pictures

Cool pics, Flores' Mustangs are bitchin. :thumbsup:

I'll second that, and so are SW's wheels :thumbsup:

SW, so what did you decide on for the suspension and drivetrain? BTW, those wheels look sick.

Frank first off, I want to thank you for all your input. I got a really nice "deal" from the guys at Global West. They were really nice to deal with. The motor has been built, 351W billet crank, H-beam rods, Weisco pistons, ported Edlebrock Vr. heads, custom ground cam, Victor jr. intake, 750 demon carb, Keisler 5spd conversion, DTS locker rear end with rear disc ect.

After building the T/A and the Camaro, building a Ford is alot different...

SW

Looks great!

Love it SW
his red 69 is amazing love that car 650hp out of a 351C wow
are they 18 all round?

Wow great starting point!

I'd change the rims... but thats me :)

It was completely my pleasure SW. The rate at which you finish your projects is unbelievable. I took me longer to look over, choose, order, and install my wheels than it did for you to get it out of paint! :cheers:

Any Updates?

Good to see you finally got one you wanted!!! Good luck with the project, it will obviously be more than enviable in the end.

Wow.... I cant believe I just found this thread now. We are building a '69 Convertible G-Machine for a customer now. We've had it in our possesion for 1 month now and our client just called and increased the budget by 25k. So I had to redesign the car and add alot of great things that werent originally called out in the design. Its in the demolition stages now and as soon as the new design rendering is completed, I'll post it. I'll be interesting to see exactly how similar they will be because the '69 is a rare breed.

Dang, SW, you sure do make it hard to build something cool in Austin! How can mortals compete with this? That's alright, I think the car is gonna rock. Can't wait to see it!

This has a point thats relevant.. so bear with me.

ok, im 23. i have experience with cars as i come from a family thats been building them for years. pro-touring is a perfect match for me as i love all the new technology.. including the import cars.. but i have a soft spot for the muscle cars i grew up working on here in the south. plus theres just something about big cubes. anyway.. i had a good career path going with an auto parts chain. but it didnt seem to make me happy. im a salesmen i feel thats my calling but the things i want in life.. well.. 40k a year was probably not going to cut it. my gf.. who im sure i will marry in the next few is a photographer.. could be money.. maybe tough for her.. but i still envy her, because she loves what she does everyday. its hard to make a great living at cars. and then im on supraforums reading some threads one day and it hits me. You should do what you love in life. but maybe thats not where you work. I told a friend.. my new theory.. if you cant do what you love for a living.. make sure what you do for a living allows you to do what you love. long story short im back in school, studying business as i now have gained an "in" with a major Medical supplies company. Should be great money, a little travel, and i get to meet and talk to all kinds of cool people.

the point here is.. my inspiration came from SW. his threads on supraforums. Because I met him once.. and he probably wont remember when i rode with close friends chris parvin and Theresa out to texas for a supra meet two or three years back and he is the nicest guy ever. and its hard to be a nice guy in a supra crowd. his cars make people want to build equally nice cars. im sure just like everything else you have built.. the mustang will be amazing. and thanks for the inspiration !!

Ps- im currently trying to put together a early 70s trans-am/firebird.. a car i would never thought id like to build until i saw sw's. and this one.. unlike the mopar.. is for me.

Project
 

If I know SW, he is probably finished with the mustang and gone on to another car but where there any updates or finished pictures?

I don't think SW would mind but here is a link.

Sometimes I have to click my link two different times to get it to load.

Hope it works. :thumbsup:

i love the way he builds his cars!
Bad ass and beautiful :hail:

Nevermind. I finally read the top of the photo page. Sorry to bump an old thread.
