The Mustang in the background is actually a 65. We purchased the car to design our new Fast Track Mustang suspension components around. Now that all of the suspension work is completed, there aren't further plans for the car at this point.

The roll cage is just about wrapped up on the car. A few areas need final welding and it should be completed. A few people asked how we weld the bars when they are that tight to the body, so I shot a few pics as Dave was working on it today. He has become a bit of a contortionist.

Not bad getting a guy that is 6'2" in the trunk of a 2nd gen and still being able to work the pedal on the TIG!

Here are a few other shots of the cage further along.

Very cool.When I went to finish welding the roll cage in my 72 camaro.I got in the trunk and got stuck.My wife had cut me out.:lol:

Amazing work.

We just got the car off the chassis table and on the ground at ride height for the first time on its suspension with the correct sized wheels and tires. It just looks mean!

That looks like pure trouble!! Soo sick!

You taking notes rodger? Thats the angle us regular guys are used too! Lol

Looks great love the flat hood.

Looks awesome. Are you going to paint it orange?

Looks sick!!! That wall of cars kills me every time :thumbsup:

Looks super bitchin guys! :thumbsup: Wheels and ride height look awesome!

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :bow: :bow: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

The car looks great I really like the way you did the rear quarters. :thumbsup:

Talk about a super low ride height. It looks fantastic!


What is that car on the other side of the clear garage door?

F me! Wow!

The stance is spot on!!.But the frt. tire's need to be wider.

looks like it is a FF GTM version 2.

Thanks everyone. The stance on this car is just pure bad ass. It is basically the same ride height as the Innovator and the C1RS, sitting right about 4" at the front of the rocker. With the low roof line this car looks much lower though.

It has a 275 on a 10" rim now for mock up (Our standard mock up rims laying around the shop). The back spacing on the fronts is way off and they need to come out quite a bit. The rears can come out slightly. We are looking at a 305 or 315 for the front. This is the first time the car has been at ride height with wheels on it so we still have to measure out what will fit and work the best.



Sorry for the teaser shot, I really didn't notice it in the picture until it was just brought up. I've had to edit a lot of pictures because it was in the background, but missed this one apparently. That car can't be "seen" until it is completed this summer. All I can say is that it is a complete 1-off carbon fiber body and definitely not a Factory Five GTM.

WTF!! Complete carbon fiber body. :wow: :wow: C'mon man...give us a real teaser shot. If we have to wait until the summer we need like 1,000 pics then.

Dont make me come over there ...,Cmon on how bout a few pics .
Wont tell nobody .

That great.These cars need wide tires.:thumbsup:

Oooops sorry to bring notice to it. I thought it was a McLearen F1 at first. By all means, take the pic down and edit it so as to not get in trouble with the customer.

I'm glad you guys think you can still get a wider tire up front. That's the only "bad" thing about a second gen. The bodies are so sloped out to the edge that it's difficult to go very low and have a tire close to the outside edge. Too many times it looks like the body is hanging over the edge. Like the thing has muffin top or something. :yes:

I agree Scott, these cars need wide tires. That's why I'll be going with your front subframe whenever I get around to build a 2nd gen. A 315 front just screams mean. :thumbsup:

The money shot right there!
Man, that looks amazing! Great job.

look great good job:hail: :hail: :hail:

spot on! Nice job guys

I'll get shot for saying it --- but that is SO MUCH MORE BAD ASS THAN ANOTHER '69 !

:thumbsup: I will shoot you a big thumbs up! Second Gens need high end aftermarket lovin' too.:thumbsup:

Where's my slingshot...:cool:

Look at all that ground clearance! My favorite build going on @ the Roaster Shop!

Ron I thought he was my friend to! I'm lookin for mine..:D

I'm staying clear of the 1st Gen vs. 2nd Gen fight! Aim all slingshots, guns, knives, etc... at Greg Weld.

Thanks Gonzo, The chassis was designed so that everything would be tucked up inside of it. The frame rails and front crossmember will be the lowest point. That gives the ability to have a low ride height with out any clearance issues of things hitting under the car.

Thanks for the support from everyone else!:thumbsup:

I totally agree!

A little more progress on this build. unfortunately it isn't the cool, exciting stuff. This was supposed to be a solid, original car that was just primed before the owner purchased it. Well, it was solid if you consider gallons of bondo and fiberglass "solid". So, the last week has been spent on fixing poorly repaired rust.

While finishing the cage, we noticed some fiberglass in the bottom of the windshield area. That was ground out to find this.

The entire top of the cowl and dash was removed and has since been blasted.
http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/s...ture220414.jpg

There were a few areas in the bottom of the cowl sides that needed more attention as well.
http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/s...ture220428.jpg

When we started lining up the doors, we found that the driver door was packed with mud.
http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/s...ture220453.jpg

That door wasn't salvageable so we re-skinned it. the passenger door wasn't as bad and we were able to metal finish it out.
http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/s...ture220549.jpg

There were a few other small spots around the car that needed attention. We would normally blast the car down to bare metal before beginning any work, but were told that the car was in perfect condition, and just primed to prevent rust. We took the guys word and never really looked into anything too closely to inspect it until now, and found a few surprises.

That sucks. I'm glad you found it all. This level of build really should not include gallons of bondo.

True....:yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes:

We were waiting for a few more sheet metal pieces to come back from the media blaster and acid dipper. Now that the fenders and hood are back, we were able to final assemble the front end.

With the low ride height the tires ended up coming really close to the hood hinges and inside portion of the fender. So, that area was removed and the hood hinges were moved back to gain the necessary room. The Ring Brothers were nice enough to send down a set of hinges for us to mock up the hood with to make sure that everything still functioned properly when relocated.

Fabbing new inner fenders is the next step.
