NonameStang
 
I never did formally introduce myself or my project here on this site. I do spend many hours checking the cars out and trying to learn what I can from the pro's.

My car began as a fairly straight 6 cyl. 67 mustang that was very basis. I knew I was eventually doing away with most of the original equipment. Because of this, I decided to spare the more sought after mustangs and just get something that would be a good base.
Despite how I felt at the time of purchase, this was not in the best of shape. In the 4 yrs of owning it, I have replaced the battery tray, cowl patch panel, both door skins, both rear quarters, driver side lower cowl panel, that is all I can think of now. My future plans are to build new floor pans, trunk, fill in upper side louvers, make lower vents somewhat fuctional, and build either roll bar or 6-8 pt cage. The mods. I have already did: filled in antenna, flush mount rear lights, installed subframe conn., smoothed the firewall, smoothed the cowl vents, removed drip rails, installed GW coil over for front, martz chassis 4 link in the rear, and some what finished with the mini tub.
It has baer brakes, tcp power r&p, and will be powered by a 418 windsor, hogans upper and on a sportsman's block, and richmond 6spd, with 3.89 rear gear and truetrac.

When the new PHR came in the mail I took one look at the cover and said damn, I wish that could someday be me(I'm sure thousands would agree). Parson's Nova is great motivation for me. I love to see people out of the spotlight get recognized for the quality of work they can produce. Anyway, not trying to write a book here.
Here are a few pics of my car. I have been waiting to get to a point in the build that I could take pictures that I could be proud of. The job and a 2 yr old, and working on the car for the most part by myself, doesn't yeild itself to fast progress. Let me know what you guys think. BTW thanks for Lat-G :thumbsup: .

what are your tire sizes?

Travis77 08-03-2007 12:01 PM

The tire sizes are 245x40x18 and 335x30x18.

Thanks Travis77
You answered a question I have had for a while. "Will 335's fit with a mini-tub" I actually have a 70 sportsroof I will be working on soon I hope. The Martz 4 link looks like a good set-up. I have been eyeing that suspension for some time now.

thanks

I am pleased with the apperance of the rear kit. Since the rear was all hacked up I had them build me a complete kit with new rails and all. It is somewhat based on their ladder bar kit but with a modified 4 link.The frame rails were both moved inward and have a 10" kick up instead a traditional 7(I believe). I seriously doubt 335's will fit while using the factory rear frame rails. I just hope the heim joints are not too harsh on the street.

Dam that is real nice...great work so far!

Steve Chryssos 08-04-2007 03:28 PM

looks good dont forget subframe conectors. whats your plans keep the body stock looking or spice it up some.i got a 68 coupe thats a california special clone. couple links to think about http://www.mustangsplus.com/Merchant...uct_Code=04202
and http://www.mustangdepot.com/OnLineCa...tower_kits.htm

Travis77 08-06-2007 11:10 AM

I have not yet began with the floor supports. So far all that is there is heavy wall 2x3 tubing that are my subframe conn..
I am going to get a little further into the project then planning to get a rendering done to help with the visual aspect of things. I plan to just loose all chrome trim, and smooth everything that I can. Keeping everything somewhat simple and fuctional.I keep going back to a dark candy brandy wine/black cherry and buckskin interior. Thanks

andrewmp6 08-06-2007 11:15 PM

nice if you use a aftermarket heat/air unit you can weld the cowl vent shut make it even more smooth.have you thought about l.e.d. tailights i have them on mine they are brite and look great. mine came from http://www.mustangproject.com/

Travis77 08-07-2007 04:12 AM

That is exactly what I plan to do, just not finished. I am also going to go with LED's in the rear.
