RESURGENCE a 1966 Mustang at BBT Fab
 
This project was brought to us from Nick Ford a crew guy on Dario Franchitti's #10 Target Indy car team. Nick had the car at another shop who did the suspension work, roll cage, and some of the sheet metal. After pulling the car and letting it sit in the garage for a couple years Nick contacted us about getting some things worked out and building the car more to his standards.

Nick wanted all for wheel openings to flare out further than the stock. We used the factory flares off of 71 mustang quarters to achieve this.

Mario's is close...waiting on one pretty important piece to be able to finish up a lot of small things...

I guess that's better than the way I do 'em.... I'd just tack 'em - rub some silicone over the seam - and glue carpet on 'em...



HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA





When I was redoing my brother in laws Camaro --- his were siliconed to the chassis -- were you showed the nice rosettes. OMG... what some guys do to cut corners.

coolwelder62 01-16-2014 04:38 PM

Very Smoothhhhhh!!!!!!!!

GregWeld 01-16-2014 04:52 PM

Troy --- Tell me what the numbers represent...

Those mini-tubs aren't so many. Love seeing wide tires on a mustang. How wide are you guys going?

andreb 01-17-2014 09:03 AM

Very impressive metal work. I like that you are building a coupe. Giving some motivation for my '67.

Greg- we clamp the flat face of the wheel well in the car and measure over...this gives us a ruff reference when trimming the tub to fit once it is all tacked together. Speeds up the fitment process.

Looks like we are going to run a 305 might be able to stuff a 315 in though.

MSTSFabbed 01-17-2014 02:21 PM

I was totally gonna make fun of Greg, then realized I didn't get it either!! :sieg:

Greg: Great Question!

Troy: That's thinkin right there!

I'm too old to be embarrassed about "dumb" questions.... but I'm never too old to learn. LOL


Thanks Troy!!!

nnford 01-18-2014 09:24 PM

Can't say enough about what and the quality of work that Troy and the guys at BBT are doing to the mustang. All I can say is make sure you subscribe to the thread cause we have only scratched the surface, there is plenty more killer stuff to come!!

Dave B 01-19-2014 06:21 PM

Fricking Amazing!

waynieZ 01-19-2014 09:29 PM

Troy I love what you doing on this build. That engine bay is going to be sweet! Awesome fab.
