Hey All,
I just signed on as a member and vendor. I put a bit about about the company and products in the vendor section, now a bit about me.
I have been toying around with drag cars and street cars for about 20 years. Recently, I just finished up a Factory Five Mark III (pics below) and am starting on resurrecting a 68 Mustang Coupe from years of bad work and neglect. The other car in the stable worthy of note is my wife's 2006 Mustang GT. It's bone stock right now, but that's going to change, just trying to figure out the direction.
First, the Mustang (no pics on this guy yet):
Today: it's stripped to a shell and is mounted on a frame jig. As I got deeper into it, it looks like it has been hit pretty hard in the passenger rear so I am in the process of straightening that out and squaring up the world.
The Plan: The car will be a Jeckyll and Hyde scenario. I am after a mild mannered street car that will turn low 12s in the quarter at 6000' while being at home on the autocross or road course. Power will be a warm SBF, more than likely supercharged. I am still researching suspension setups but I am leaning toward a G-Bar set up for the rear and coil conversion on the fronts. The trans will be a 5 speed, not sure if I will go T5 or TKO yet.
The FFR, aka "Rayne":
- Powerplant: 408W, 495hp/535ft-lbs
- Trans: TKO600
- Rear: Ford 8.8, 3.55 gears
- Front suspension: tubular control arms, Koni coils
- Rear: FFR 3 link, tubular control arms, Koni coils, upper link reinforced

Anyway, I look forward to being a part of it all here.
Thanks,
Rick
