Default JCG Restoration & Customs - 70 Mustang Build

Well I am about to venture into the Ford world! I got my first Pro-Tour Mustang... The car just arrived from Tennessee last night.. I have been wanting to do one of these for a long time now & have been given the opportunity by Nick D & his dad to re-do the Mustang.. This will be Nick's first high school car.. He is only 16 yrs old right now & his dad wants his first car to be something he will always remember..

Here is the laundry list..
DSE front suspension.. buying existing components to build a chassis around it
DSE Quadra-link rear suspension
2011 Coyote Cobra engine & transmission
American Racing headers with Borla mufflers
Forgeline wheels
Wilwood Brake System
American Auto Wire
Vintage Air
Anvil Carbon Fiber goodies
Ben Hermance Rendering
JCG Custom Components & body Modifications

Tear down begins this week.. & body off to the media blasting..

Just curious, are you keeping the Getrag? I don't know if you've taken measurements, but I was curious as to how far back the shifter would end up.
