1970 Mustang Street/Autocross Machine

Welcome. You may want to Google search ADV wheel quality before you decide to put them on something you will be going to the track with. I've had a few friends on other forms have some scary experiences, both with their old company (360 forged) and new company. They have some great photoshop skills though in their marketing department.

Oh yikes! I for sure will look into that. Thanks for the heads up! What are some wheels you would recommend?

Take a look at what people on here are using on their personal builds. You'll get some brand names quickly (forgeline, formula 43, OZ, Etc).

I am in the process of building a 1970 Mustang as well. Just about the same M.O., but with a T/A twist to it. Look forward to what you come up with.

Nice company name by the way...

Here is the lovely lady before surgery and make-up...


Getting started, we pulled everything from the chassis to get the undercarriage media blasted as well as gutted the vehicle of its interior. Aaaaaaand to our surprise, it looks like this car was in a front end collision that snapped one of the frame extensions in half and bent the other. For a fix, it looks like someone crudely welded the passenger side back together and filled with body filler. So before we can really jump into the build, that issue needed to be addressed. the remedy of course is to simply swap the extensions out for new frame extensions. Once we got the frame aligned, it was time to install the Heidts subframe connectors. Only needing to shave a few areas, the connectors went in pretty easily. Next, for the purpose of adding more rigidity to the chassis, we added a roll cage and started tubing the front.
