Default svt 65 stang

just saw the pic of the svt 65 stang project ...... and the light bulb turned on. i just happen to have a 1964 1/2 mustang project that i am updating the suspension/brakes/steering to late model sn95 parts.... and i just happen to have the shell from the 96 cobra that i robbed all the parts off of. im sure you see where im going with this. im also sure everybody in here can relate to the "since im all ready this far... i may as well" deal.


oh well its just more time and more money....right?

Hi RR,

Thanks for the kind words and good luck with your project. Drop me a line if you need any help.

Before you start, I should say that this has taken a LOT more time and effort than we originally thought. I was a bit optomistic on the time it would take at the start. I figured 2 guys owrking full time could knock it out in about 3 months. Afterall, how tough could it be???

Well... 12 months and 2,500 man hours later, we are just about complete.

If you do decide to go ahead, I will be happy to help you avoid some of the major issues we had. Also, having access to a fram rack and laser measuring system helps. :-)

If you want to get a feel for all involved, follow the link below.... If you dare.

Also, we would be happy to help you build one just like it. We can do all the dirty grunt / structural / body / paint work and you can do all the fun assembly installation work. If you are interested, just give us a call at 630-762-0387. Just for grins I have attached a current photo of our shop. Please note that this an actual working bodyshop, not American Hot Rod. :-)
