my newest purchase 68 stang
 

Hey guys just want to post pictures of my 68 mustang coupe i just picked up from chubby. Its a numbers matching all orginal and in prestine condition as the pictures show. Havent figured out exactly everything im doing to do yet. Debating on what suspension set up mainly. As far as the motor it will be a 4.6 terminator (supercharged) out of the 03-04 cobra's. Anyone have any good suggestions on suspension that they have actually knowledge and experience with? I like the RRS coilover and 3 link kit, and then throw some wilwood brakes on and it should ride nice. We will see.....im having to work even more OT to save up but it should be worth it. Probably even sell my 450hp turbo honda civic(yes an import 4 banger, i built it 4 years ago when i was 17 as my first car. Hondas are cheap! and easy to make fast hahah! Dont make fun!), that should front some money for the list of parts! Anyways, just wanted to post some pics, wont be updated for sometime due to the fact buying parts every 2 weeks when get paid!

keep us updated! sounds like a great project car! look like a very clean car

As far as suspension, Jeff Schwartz has a FULL frame kit for that car. It will allow you to completely remove the front aprons to give you plenty of room for that Mod motor. Not that it wouldn't fit otherwise.

Nice find. I like the 68's myself.

a jeffs chassis is def a piece of work. I've contacted him on pricing would love to purchase but tight on cash. If can sell civic I'll def be contacting jeff. As of now just going to notch the towers. when on a 21 year old dealer mechanic paycheck now it's hard to spend that kind of cash.

Good looking car....

We used a Griggs Racing front suspension on one of our builds. 4.6 bolts right up to the K-member... with slight mods to shock towers :yes:

did you have an clearance issues with the oil pan or anything? Just wondering what im up against before i get into it. Like to have it all thought out and make it go the way it was planned haha!

No didn't have any clearance issues with the pan, in fact it still has the '04 oil pan on it. The only clearence issues are with the T56 it won't fit in the factory trans tunnel. We ended up fabbing a tunnel out of an '07 Mustang into the car.

The suspension uses SN95 spindles, which makes brake choices easier and also uses the '03-'04 steering rack...

hum interesting.....ill be checking into griggs system. I've contracted a few other companys on there products and waiting for respondes.

A+ very nice! good luck and good choice!

SVPjason are you sticking with the eaton blower??? Just wondering, we have had problems with them. The upgrade to a KenneBell is wayyyyyyy worth it.
