So i know i've been on here a while and some how i never posted up my build lol. Currently Its in the body shop and thanks to the help of cphsonic things are coming along nicely.

the look im going for picture this car all silver w/ All black fr500s 18x9/10
the car will be taken for auto-x from time to time.



4years i havent' driven the car and finally the car is almost complete send it to the shop a while back and so far the structure of the car seems good. So they took the car apart and they are going to start sanding the body to bare metal. here are some pictures.

Went to Maier Racing to buy some shelby scoops and Maier gave me a grand tour of his shop here are some pictures of the cars aswell he showed me the new 69-70 front chin spoiler. you can see where the valance meets the spoiler has more curve to make the are air move more quickly. he is always making different sizes race/street etc.. he also should me the new rear spoilers that he just came out with which are pretty cool.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[rwcstang 201]

[rwcstang 201]

so this weekend i was bored and bought my self a rotary tool from Harbor freight and started to cut and chop up the diecast cars i had laying around.

 

the victims,

 

1969 shelby vert

70' Cougar

69 mach 1

 

started cutting and ALOT OF GRINDING and mocking up and bam, Still rough but going to use JB weld to meld these guys together lol. Yeah..i know the mets..ewwwww lol but it was the cheapest one i found on ebay. lol

 

[rwcstang 201]

Driver side finally blocked

 

Engine Compartment is next they are going to clean up the welds and close the holes in the towers.

[rwcstang 201]

debating either to go with black or anthracite wheels

 

 

[70mstang 11]

Cool build! I could go for opne of the chin spoilers from Maier...maybe after I shatter the current fiberglass one .. I know it's bound to happen.

 

I am partial to the anthracite color for the wheels since you're going silver. just my 2 cents. Maybe if you had the hood blacked out that would tie in the black wheels.

[69SlowResto 19]

+1 on the anthracite wheels. Great progress so far.

[rwcstang 201]

sorry haven't uploaded new pics for awhile. I bought some used 18x10s really cheap and finally bought 2 18x9 from american muscle's October sale. thank god i got them in time they were $100 each, so i couldn't pass up a good deal.

 

 

Sealer is on so they can finally paint it :D

lookin good!!!:biggrin:

[rwcstang 201]

got the car back home and installed my old wheels for now.

 

 

one question has anyone ever used the "Hide-Away" Antennas? are they good?

just realized my fender doesn't have the mount hole.

[Junior2561 10]

wow - looks great

[70mstang 11]

My stereo uses a hideaway antennae. The shop ran the wires up the A pillar under the panel and it mounts to the inside of windshield. You can barely see it with the window tinting. Mine works as good as any anntennae but I mostly use my ipod or phone for music.

 

It was a toss up whether to use the hide away or add an automatic antennae to my rear quarter.

[rwcstang 201]

thought I update this its been awhile

 

bought a case of plasti-dip to test out the fr500s so far so good, for now... lol

 

 

 

 

[rwcstang 201]

Just bought my self this:

 

[rwcstang 201]

and decided to paint my hood black, what do you guys think?

 

[stangme428 33]

[rwcstang 201]

new pics uploaded, sorry for the wait everyone! :D

 

[prayers1 153]

Looking GREAT!

What did you do about the antenna.

I just put new fenders, I don't want to drill a hole, I was also thinking of a hide away antenna.

[rwcstang 201]

I was thinking the same thing, but I haven't found a good hide away antenna some ppl tend to complain about the reception.. if anything Ill just connect to pandora, lol.

[rwcstang 201]

Just received my coil over conversion from Street or Track!!! Can't wait to install them!

[jnet4jt 10]

[Wasch24 10]

news: so we have the tires mounted and we are waiting on lug nuts. we did encounter a problem the rear brake lines. They are wrong size fitting so we will be replacing that. we are also debating if we should/have modify the e-brake so the shop will be calling Vintage Venom.

 

Slowly but surely the car is coming along nicely. :D
