Really nice work!

We had a few updates done to the car so I figured I'd share. We added a rear spoiler as well as some exhaust cut outs








 

Ooooo I like fancy bits! :)

Thanks!  We couldn't be more happy with them and we have Mustangs to Fear to thank for referring them to us.  We bought a ton of MTF parts and were looking to get the work done by them originally.. They were full and recommended GT Graphics and Customs.. They aren't local, they are actually 11 hrs from home!
Thank you!  We are ready to bring it to a few more shows then drive the heck out of it.

We had a blast at North Carolina Nationals and even walked away with some hardware.. Car drew a crowd!
Set up and final detail..

Really cool. Following this one, good luck!

Firewall insulation, Foot vents, emerg brake, pedals/bracket, gas pedal, and heater box all installed this evening

Hey Mal,
2 pac clear over base Glasurit paint .
My buddy and painted the car in his monster car port.and i can help you there also.

Very Nice!!

It looks like that through an Iphone.. it's the weirdest thing. I'm going to post some from the camera tomorrow and you'll see the stark difference!

Lol those damn Russians....
Let's see if it'll let me embed a YouTube clip.. first one is a walk around of where we are in the process. Some things were removed to trouble shoot the tune so the engine cover, engine bay cover, etc are off. Also, for some reason the iPhone just can't pick up the true color of the car. I attached a pic of the heat extractor at the end for reference 
 
 

 

Console and interior progress




Getting very close!

Thanks! A few weeks we are thinking. 
It was great! Video really doesnt do it justice. But even so, the cutouts will be put in Monday/Tuesday so there will be no more debate about loud enough then :)

no prob, thx
 

Console has been wrapped

This car needs to be in a magazine.

Ha! I wish..
The builder, Gary, will though.  Especially after this build is out he will have room to take on a few more.  He also said that if someone is interested in getting some work done (some had mentioned the Front Valence and hood scoop) that they can reach out to him at (828) 349-1969 and they can work something out.
Bittersweet to be finishing this up... its been such a fun process to go through but we are ready to enjoy the car!

Glad the site is back up and running. I have missed posting and reading everyone's progress. 
I have been in tedious land for several weeks. These tip mounting brackets were kicking my butt lol. I went through several tab designs, that were thankfully made out of paper, to verify if the tip could be removed with them in place.

This particular example would not come out without hitting, so I came up with a multi piece design, which started out as rather large tabs.

The second section of tabs have to be bolted in place, with not a whole lot of room to put many fasteners. The forward tab landed between what use to be the leaf spring mount, which is about 3/8" with all the layers. The rear area needed some beefing up as it was nothing but the floor pan so some 3/16" plate was formed and welded in place. The tabs incorporated more of the blue silicone isolators. I was using miscellaneous hardware to attach all this, hence the extremely long bolts. I pilot drilled the brackets so I could mark the parts welded to the exhaust pipe.

Removing all this, the brackets were drilled out to size and the attachment brackets received a little trimming. I used stainless nuts / bolts for the "actual" fasteners but I am definitely going with a socket headed fastener, as these hex head bolts are a pain to tighten. With all the pieces all in place, the tip is rather close to center, and can be adjusted with the V-Band clamp and the preload on the bushings. There is very little movement, it shouldn't go anywhere.

I need to tidy up all the chopped up areas and grind a bunch of welds along with fixing the hole I made in the quarter a while back. I did make duplicates of all the parts so hopefully the passenger side will not take six weeks to get to this point. I have some ideas on the "upper" side to reinforce the frame and cap off the area, more to come on that.
 
 

Hoping to fire her late this week!

The rear bumper is starting to get where it needs to be. Two bumpers has been joined to form one. There's still some work left, but the overall shape is there.
