JCG Restoration & Customs - 70 Mustang Build

Great update Cris. Looking good.

Yes.. We pushed back the firewall but for the purpose of getting the engine back as far as we could... The pedals did end up moving back about 1 inch..

The pedal base & M/C are Wilwood ..

Thanks for the props!

Did you push the firewall back to make the pedals more comfortable for the driver? Also which master cylinders are those? I am running into some issues with pedal placement in my camaro and was debating on pushing my firewall back to move the pedals back or just putting the master cylinders inside and then running a remote line through the firewall to reservoirs. Thanks! Car looks awesome though!

Thanks Tony!

We need to start building rear frame rails but needed to find out how big of a tire could fit in the back with maintaining the the rear fold down seat.. So.. it was time to stretch the car.. We have pulled it about 2 inches per side without losing the look of the car...

We fab'ed some jigs to maintain a even stectch on the car & here are some of the results so far.. She's got some hips now!











Also got some more work going on in the engine bay!

Let's start a bet

I say 12.5"

We managed to get 15.5 inches of wheel tub space with the stetch & a small mini tub.. the 335-30-19 should fit with no problem!

Dang brother - nice stretch. Happy to see your tucking 335's Ya know if you go with the "Pilots" you can fit the 345's are they are about 1" skinner then the KDW.

and the plus factor is they are taller and would look really nice on that big bad mustang.


btw - keep up the great work and I look forward to your posts.

We are gonna keep the tire size the same as Blu Balz.. The owner wants to have one size fit both cars so that tires & wheels are kept in stock for events...

Thanks for the prop's Marty! This car will not be carrying bicycles..
