Far better than when I saw you this summer in the shop sanding away.... :D

Really like the mixture of the gloss and satin together.

Yeah, thanks, Greg. It's come a long way. The vision is starting to take shape. One week to go until the initial unveiling at the Playboy mansion!

That took some doing. It goes through the frame. I'll post some pics later.

Matt, this mustang is going to look unreal. The CF parts and wheels look amazing. :thumbsup:

tones2SS 10-09-2010 02:47 PM

WOW Matt!! That does look killer. The paint,the carbon fiber and wheels are going to look so good together. Very nice build. Keep us posted!:thumbsup:

ANVIL1 10-09-2010 05:38 PM

Here's one of the wheels when we dropped them off at the powder coaters. Evod sanded and polished the tops of the spokes which was a big job and turned them around in no time for extraordinary results! The tops of the spokes and the polished rims will be masked and the middles will be powder coated a sort of magnesium color.

I'm really diggin' the '71 Mustang you guys are building too! You going to get it to SEMA this year? It's got to be the coolest looking 71-73 Mustang I've ever seen. I like that body style and figured it would be a good base to start with for making a really nice custom and it looks like you guys are pulling it off. Ben did a great job with the styling as usual!

This shot gives a better idea of the mods that were made to get the exhaust to exit out of the rockers. They had to modify the floor and go through the frame rails.

The exhaust is really clever :bow: Matt where are those cool cad plated suspension bolts from??

ANVIL1 10-11-2010 04:15 PM

You are digging on my gold cad plated bolts which are specially ordered from ARP, no? They are jewel like, yes? If I were the gold chain wearin' type, I would wear them around my neck and leave the top 4 buttons on my shirt undone just to show them off with my wild and crazy crispy chest hairs! The chicks, they would not be able to stand me :cool:

ANVIL1 10-11-2010 04:30 PM

This shot shows how the floor has been modified to clear the driver's side exhaust as it turns up and over the torque arm and through the rocker panel
http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/c...g/Oct11006.jpg
Here's the bottom of the same area. You can also see that the cross member where the front of the arm attaches has been notched on top to allow for the oval tube exhaust to clear over it.

I'm just poking fun at you; obviously since we are still new not everyone has heard of us yet. Welcome to the boards.

Our booth is right behind Wilwood Brakes towards the back left of central hall if you're coming from the Ford display. It's our first time at SEMA this year. Thought we would come out of the gate at full honk.

ANVIL1 10-13-2010 07:36 PM

Picked up the hood and fenders from Mick today and I fit the mesh screens I made into the hood. The hood turned out really nice. I'll get pics of the fenders later, but they are very nice too.

Back side is satin carbon fiber like all of the exposed carbon fiber on the car.

redfire69 10-14-2010 04:16 AM

Don't know if I missed it, but where did you source the tubing for the brake cooling vents?

Love that hood! :thumbsup:

tones2SS 10-14-2010 08:11 AM

That is SICK! Looking awesome. I like the hood!:thumbsup: :cheers:

Steve got it from a Pegasus racing products in Wisconsin. I think you can also find it in the McMaster Carr (everything under the sun) catalog.

ANVIL1 10-14-2010 11:51 AM

Here's a cool little detail. Steve put a battery shut off in the trunk that has a cable to actuate it remotely from the driver's seat.

you can also get it from A/C Spruce, Wick's, or Wag-Aero, or any other decent aircraft supply house. Called SCAT tubing

Battery shut off
 
1 Attachment(s)
No attempt to hijack. I wish I had seen your battery shut-off cable earlier. Very nice! I did something similar, but used an alluminum push rod and a bellcrank on the roll bar to put the shut-off near the trailing edge of the drivers window. It would have been easier to fire-seal with a cable.

There's no doubt there will be some comparisons between your car and mine, but they are really so different when it comes down to basically everything. It looks like the year for 69/70 Mustangs. It's about time they got their day in the sun.
You think SEMA is a tight deadline...we have to have it finished in two days for a show at the Playboy mansion!!! Yikes!

ssdesign 10-14-2010 06:11 PM

Cars looking great..cant wait to see it at SEMA
wheels and hood are awesome:thumbsup:

ANVIL1 10-16-2010 09:53 AM

Here's a nice touch. It's a map light (between the sun visors) from an 80's fox body Mustang from ebay that has a swing arm that unclips and can be pointed in any direction. The plastic base cover just happens to match the red interior color exactly, so it didn't need to be painted. It's one of those things that just happen work out perfectly which rarely happens when custom building a car. Everything else is usually more of a struggle trying to get things to fit just right, etc.
