Jeff-

My thoughts, exactly.

Bob, couple questions: Does it get hot in the car when running or is there some separator between the passengers and the motor compartment? How did you fab up the cooling system for the motor? Also is there any flex when driving?

After the c6 Camaro and now this, what could possibly be next? :D

Awesome build man. Love to see a vid! :thumbsup:

Love the out of the box thinking on this one! please post up some videos and picts. that you don't have to open in links. Keep up the great work car looks awesome!

Agree 100% nothing like a stock body line well built muscle car. 20 years from now it will still in style.

Oh man...wow!!!

Amazing build. Please post more photos!!

Looks great, Bob! So glad you got it running. I love it.

I completely missed this thread. I love the concept, but the chassis design really has me scratching my head.

You've made some structural choices that I'm curious to hear your thoughts on.

Why is there a roll hoop made from round tubing as well as something resembling a roll hoop made from square tubing?

There are round tubes running from the front main stays to the front suspension. Why are they terminated ahead of the upper control arm and not in the upper damper mount?

Why is there a sharp bend in the rear main stays? Why do they terminate behind the rear suspension?

Just as a general comment: There seems to be very little triangulation anywhere on the chassis, especially in the space between the front and rear ends of the car. As it stands now, you're almost completely dependent on the bending stiffness of your frame members to provide rigidity. Introducing triangular structures will instead load the frame members in tension and compression, greatly increasing stiffness.

Where did you go Bob.:headscratch: This build really deserves more attention that it got on this thread. I've been waiting to see some more about it after you "got all the bugs out"

:bump: :bump:

What bugs!?!?!? Pros don't build stuff with bugs! Just ask me!



Come on Bob! Post up there big boy!

I think the round tubing is part of the roll/support cage. The square tubing right behind it is for mounting the flat sheet metal which I assume was for close out panels to close out the cab from engine nose. See the last pic in the build in post #66 on page 7.

THIS mid engine Mustang is one I can get behind. The silver car has amazing build quality, but (in my opinion) has awful wheels and butchered the lines of one of the best Muscle Car bodies ever. Love this car!

I kinda threw it together a the last minute for the super summit here in atlanta and had to go back to finish alot of little things air,radio etc and had a problem with the push button start but its almost all done. As for the design of the chassie it's built from 1-1/2 square and 1-1/2 by 3 and 1-5/8 round. There is a fire wall that completely incloses the engine seperate and the cage strenghting the chassie.

So dam badass. Any interior pics? You nailed the stance also, it looks tits.

I'm with you Hardluck it looks awesome.

Bob - Simply awesome build! Most even never come close to a personal accomplishment of this stature in their lifetime. Congrats :thumbsup:

drove to maggie valley from atlanta last week end to a all ford show over 200 miles and got 20mpg and never got warmer then 185.degrees. This mustang is probably the best driving car I ever built. left that show sat. nite and came back to atl. and went to another show at summit racing on sunday and by the way won both shows and best of show:knock:

Simply Wicked!!

With the engineering it took to make this it should win! Beautiful car...

Congrats Bob! Well earned awards, hope you keep it and enjoy it a while to reap the real rewards. :thumbsup:

Awesome

Please more pics

Great news, Bob. Glad to hear the car drives really well. Have you had a chance to see how well it performs with any spirited driving?

Awsome car, saw it at Charlotte in 2013.

Killer Build my man. I look forward to seeing more!

Killed it!

Stunning car, fantastic build sir.

looks like I should have sold my cars this year.

anyone want a camaro or two.

Got a chance to take an up close look at this car at Barrett-Jackson. It is a work of art! Built quality is stunning.

IMO, it went WAY too cheap at auction.

thought i saw this car cross the block
