Here are the width specs: Overall width is 45-1/8". 15-1/2" mount centers.

The year T-Bird it's from is 1982-88.

Update without images.

So, a lot has happened since I last posted. We are teaming up with Wilwood Brakes on the build! The front end is being mocked up and installed this weekend. The rear end is also being mocked up this weekend. Custom axles have arrived from Moser, the Ford 9" has been narrowed, the ridetech 4 link is ready to roll. Center section is going to be an Auburn Posi unit with a 3.73 gear. That is getting picked up tonight.

The ride height has officially been set.

Also, the Ididit steering column has just arrived. Since the build is an automatic and I did not want to place a large console in the floor, we are utilizing a column shifter.

Here are the Wilwood components that are on their way:

More pictures and videos are coming this weekend!

This weekend we got a good amount accomplished on the car. The differential got finished and installed (3.75 Roush/Fenway Trac-Lok Posi Diff with polished gears), we centered the axle, cut out a portion of the trunk, mounted the upper shock mount bar, Brian welded the 4 link hardware to the 9” and to the chassis, and installed the parallel 4 link bars. Front suspension has already been mocked up on the floor.

Tonight the front shock towers get cut out to make some space. The front cross-member is going to be welded in later this week (as soon as the brakes arrive to confirm clearances). Brian hopes the car will be rolling with a suspension and working steering within 2 weeks.

And I found an NOS grille for the car for a decent price.

Nice project and its not a Camaro which is so cool. You move fast!

Scott

Neat little project you have going there!

Cool project! I really like the non-traditional body style. It looks like roughly the same size car as a Chevy II, so I'm guessing it's nice and light.

Thanks, and yes it is moderately light by some folks standards. It weighed 2800 before we starting tearing it apart. We aim to keep it around 2800-2900 lbs with the LS. The original iron 6 cylinder was HEAVY.

Some how I've missed this build until now. I love it! You're doing great work so far. Good luck!

Brian at http://www.utpracecars.com welded in the Heidts Mustang II front Cross-Member and mounted the control arms so we could determine how the wheel would turn within the front fender wells.

Here are some progress pics and some welding pics of Brian.

Wilwood Brakes should be here next week.

Just curious what sort of brake pedal setups you guys are running?

Also what are you using for pressure: Hydroboost or traditional vacuum booster?
