1970mid engine mach 1
 

just getting started. Going to make the hatch first then finnish cutting it up. It's a all original rust free car

should be cool, and completely unique. :thumbsup:

That's the best thing to do to a Ford is cut it up.:rofl: :rofl: Cool project.

:question: :question: :question: :question: :question: :question:

This is going to be very cool if your last projects are any indication....:thumbsup:

Yep, the last project was a beauty. A mid engine Mustang.........This is going to be interesting.

Can't wait to see this
 

What are you using for a powertrain? Modular motor with a GT transaxle? Windsor based or Cleveland with a ZF? Late model Corvette with the driveshaft tunnel eliminated?

Awesome concept. I'm excited to see it come together!

If it's anything like the last two it will be awesome..

Doesnt Dynacorn make bodies to cut up ? just sayin ...:wow: :willy:

Agreed-save this original if you're going to really cut it up to do it. Dynacorn! Of course it's your car and we've all cut our share so who am I talking...:D

Very cool project though and will keep watching it.

Wes

Bob, did you tell them about it being a all numbers matching Boss 429 yet?:thumbsup:

That's just cold!:rolleyes:

It's a 70 with a 351 maybe a Cleveland
 

Isn't that bad enough? I will be upset if he says a SBC is going in it.

I thought about a dynacorn body but by the time I found all the extra pieces I would have more money than i started. The car i have is a 1 owner ps,pb,air with a 351 windsor.I believe in putting them back original But any one can restore a classic BUT it thaks a REAL man to cut one up Thank's Bob

Good luck Bob. Love the idea. Can you share more details on the drivetrain if you know them already?

I'm using motor and trans axle out of a 2006 ford gt with 4000 miles. The suspension will be c-6 corvette. Haven't picked out wheels yet, Bob

your the shiz bob johnson!:thumbsup:

Awesome project! Looking forward to seeing this one come together!
:thumbsup:

Hey Bob do you still live in gainesville Ga? Im in suwanee/cumming so not far from you Id love to check it out

Knowing you Bob, I'm sure it'll come out pristine....:thumbsup:

Yea... Im interested in seeing this done as well....:cheers:

A little progress,rear hatch is done. I wanted to finish the hatch before I cut out the rest of the car. Set it on the ground to get the ride hight done and measure track width.

Lookin good so far.I wish a GM powerplant will be going in this thing.:D

:rofl:

eye candy

Now thats what im talking about! :thumbsup: :D

This is a bad ass concept! I can not wait til this is done. Great job!
Mike

Looking forward to seeing more!

Nice drive train, I can't wait to see more.

This is a different Bob Johnson though this one lives in Georgia too. They know each other as well. Small world.


That's some lovely eye candy Bob. The hatch looks like it will have an almost seamless look to it like the GM hatchback Xbody cars from the 70s.

Well it's on the jig.

nice engine, thats going to be a visceral ride

There was a Mid engine Supercar built by some Aussies back in the 80's, hope this link mite help with idea's Bob.

Bob, are you going to have enough room in the passenger compartment to fit comfortably? I'm not familiar enough with mustangs to know how much room they have inside. I figure it's going to be tight no matter what.

That's what I was thinking also, gonna be t-i-g-h-t. You could always look at pushing the rear wheel openings back? Not sure how much overhang there is on the rear of the transaxle? Most folks probably wouldnt even catch a 6-8 maybe 10 inch rear shift in the wheel opening.

Jeff-

Is that a GT drivetrain?

Looking forward to this...

Oops, sorry

more pics of progress. Most of the chassie is done and as far as room it has as much or more than my camaro. I've moved the wheel bace 2 inchs for the extra room
