Greg Weld's 65 Mustang fastback track car

Real interested to see what you two come up with as far as brakes and suspension. I imagine the wheels and tires are to clear brakes and get 0 scrub?

RSRT 3 link
Big bearing spindles
Penske or JRI coil overs

I hope I'm close on some of this, especially the 3 link. I'd love to see how it's packaged and tied in.

After talking with Sean (Hackster) this weekend in Portland and seeing his LS Volvo it got me thinking.....a motors a motor, it could care less what its haulin around. I say LS, that way I can bug you with even more questions later on!

Ron will chime in when the menu is set... right now - we're in the measuring "as is" mode... but for sure it's getting new shocks (JRI's) - spindles - big bearings... ball joints.. bigger brakes and that requires wheels and tires...

Rear end is up in the air at the moment. This is nothing but a track car... there's little point in spending a bunch of money if it's only an incremental difference. So it's a balance of what needs to be done for safety... and get some handling improvements as well.

The motor will be diagnosed and a determination will then be made depending on how hurt it is. Ron and I both agree that the car doesn't need more motor... it needs a RELIABLE motor... which this one has proved not to be.
