Default New Guy from Alamo Ca- 65 Fastback
Hey everyone, my name is Nik and I just thought id sat hello to you all since I'm new too here. I'm 21 and am working to become a firefighter paramedic, and am currently a reserve firefighter. I have a 65 Mustang Fastback that I have caught the pro touring bug with. I started with this car in my junior year of high school in 2010 with my dad and have slowly been adding to it over the years. More pictures to come if you all would like to see more and stay updated. Thanks everyone!

Nik

Looks good, being a local, are you going to bring it out to the GoodGuys autocross in a couple weeks?

Well time to get this thread back and rolling! Over the past few months I have finally gotten the car back and running and driving on the road. So far just trying to get everything dialed in as far as tuning the engine, and messing with my brake prop valve. The steering is much better and quicker thanks to the Shelby quick steer set up and especially since I ditched my rack and pinion and went back to the gear box style steering set up. Also very happy with my 6 piston Wilwoods up front! I haven't gotten the chance to really jump on the brakes, considering I haven't gotten my harnesses yet and only have lap belts at the moment so I just get folded like a taco in the seat under hard braking. Also finally got my C&R third member with 3.50:1 gears and a Detroit Locker, and I must say it is beautiful. Pictures do not do this thing justice. The guys at C&R in North Carolina do some awesome work! Also a big thank you to Mike Maier and his guys for helping me out on this one! I'll get some more pictures of the car up and running soon!
