Here's a pic of the direction we are going with the interior. The factory dash and console has some nice lines already so the owner just wants it kept nice, clean and simple. The dash face and console insert will be a textured metal with gray black two/tone seats with perforated inserts and red stitching.

Sorry for the hijack but what's the story on teh 69 Mustang with the Coyote motor set deep in the firewall?

The Cuda looks stellar but then again all of your builds do.

The 69 mustang is being built as a track car for a customer from Kansas. He has a Ford GT and just about every version of the newer Mustangs that are out. He wanted to do a 69 that he could use for track days to play with and have something more unique than what is normally out there. It has a 5.8L S/C Shelby motor with a T-56. Fully independent chassis. Anvil carbon front end and we widened the quarters. We will have to start a build thread on this and another 65 Mustang we have going to prove that we also build Ford stuff. If you are lucky Rob, we may even start a thread on the Fairlane and Falcon that we have going on.

We have been making a lot of progress ont he car since the last update. We have been playing catch up on our posting, web site, facebook, etc... since SEMA. We will try to get some updates up here shortly.

Since the last post we have done a lit of the little stuff like mounting master cylinders, pedals, wiper motors, steering, fuse box, gas tank,and A/C. On the fab side we have finished the inner fenders, front and rear valances... and mounted the turbos.

This thing is just awesome. I'm a Chevy guy through and through but I love the Early 70's Cudas and Challengers. Very nice build, the owner should be very happy!

I Love the wheels, I thought about going with a finish like that for the lip of my wheels but I wasn't brave enough. That blue is too cool!
