Mike Staveski/Time Machines and I introduced this project a month ago in Open Discussion but I wanted to start an official thread here and give an update of the latest rear view designs off the drawing board.
The cool thing about the Mustangs is the fastback rear glass that showcases the motor like a Ferrari F430 or Ford GT where some of the drivetrain components are coming from but instead of the supercharged 5.4, we are using a naturally aspirated Ford Racing FR500 crate motor with individual throttle bodies for a cool visual element.
That rear glass is going to be tipped down at a slightly steeper angle than the roof to form a shallow trough that accentuates and improves the downforce created by the rear spoiler and the entire taillight panel is perforated mesh that will allow hot air to leave the engine compartment.
The other main visual element visible from this angle is the undertray that forms functional diffusers out the back.
The car should start getting sliced up soon so we'll keep you posted.
This hasn't been done before right?
Mid engine muscle car?
I remember reading about (don't laugh) a shop in Japan converting a Honda
Del Sol to mid engine configuration. The shop was Top Fuel. The car ran in the 10s 1/4 mi. it was a street fighter also.
So what is the est. time completion for this project?
