Ringbrothers Shop 66 Mustang Fastback

[Ringbrothers]

The guys decided to build a shop car that they can autocross - they were tired of watching everyone else have all the fun. Too bad Mike and Jim can't drive.

We have a lot of people to thank for making this project possible:
Keith Craft, Chris Alston's Chassisworks, Foreline Wheels, American Power Train, Tremec Transmissions, Be Cool Radiators, Fuel Safe Fuel Cells, Vintage Air, I Did It, Heat Shield Products, BF Goodrich Tires, Flowmaster Mufflers, Royal Purple, Classic Instruments, Baer Brakes

Without the help of everyone involved including our staff members this project wouldn't be happening. Thank you!

I think it sits a little high for autocross. Just my Opinion. The wheels might be a little small also. But other then that,

The swivel casters are set up for those really tight courses. I can only assume that the ride height was strategically chosen to keep them from clipping any cones with the bumpers or rocker panels.

All kidding aside - I can't wait to see them thrash on it. Just make sure they don't make it so damn perfect that they don't want it to get some cone rash!!!!

Mike said we needed extra ground clearance for the transfer case. Don't worry they aren't very fast anyway. Dumb and dumber can't drive anyway.
They are building high enough so they can drive OVER the cones without knocking them over. You all wish you would have thought of that!

Those frame rails look awesome. I thought I was the only one dumb enough to put that much time into rear frame rails that you will never once all the sheetmetal is on, unless you happen to flip the car.

Looks good guys.

HMMM, where have I seen that frame rail look before?
Great choice for a shop car guys, looks like it was pretty clean body wise to begin with.
