This striking Mustang resto-mod is the beneficiary of a detailed,
ground-up restoration that took years to complete. Mirror-like
two-stage paint with subtle ghost stripes and a roster of tailored
details. At the front of the car, a traditional chrome bumper
guards a billet grille, modern tri-bar headlights and traditional
parking lamps. Behind that bumper, a timeless profile centers
patriotic Mustang badging amid factory door handles, Shelby-style
quarter scoops and custom engine callouts. Polished bullet mirrors
reflect a stainless-trimmed greenhouse between matte wipers and a
tight canvas top. And at the back of the car, a second chrome
bumper guards a billet fuel filler, Shelby-style LED taillights and
a GT-style valance that frames polished exhaust tips.
Pop the hood and you'll find 347 cubic inches of Ford stroker motor
that's been wired with spry FAST fuel injection. A requisite FAST
regulator, monitored by a FAST pressure gauge, marries a steady
stream of fuel and air that drops through a polished K&N air
cleaner. Both air and fuel make their way from an Edelbrock RPM Air
Gap intake to lightweight Dart Pro 1 aluminum heads. Those heads
float stylish Ford Racing valve covers between stainless breathers
and loomed Taylor plug wires. Those wires cap a quality MSD
distributor, which is fired by a hot MSD coil and precise MSD 6AL-2
ignition. Billet serpentine components spin an aluminum water pump
between a polished alternator and modern power steering. That pump
fills an aluminum radiator that's outfitted with a billet expansion
tank, corrugated hoses and a big puller fan. Spent gases are
jettisoned through short tubular headers. And overall, the car's
sedate, Satin Black engine compartment is exceptionally well done,
featuring ancillaries like a polished oil pan, a polished master
cylinder, a Rennline battery kit and serious brace bars.
The bottom of this awesome Mustang is just as impressive as its
slick exterior and tidy engine bay. Behind the mean motor you'll
find a tough Tremec 5-speed, which turns a requisite 9-inch Ford
axle. That proven drivetrain pushes a 4-link rear-clip that's
garnished with tubular bars and adjustable QA-1 coil-overs.
Opposite that clip, an independent front-half, sourced from Fat Man
Fabrications, follows a big sway bar with tubular control arms and
more modern coil-overs. Naturally, that kit is led by power
rack-and-pinion steering. At the corners, power-assisted Baer
calipers squeeze drilled and slotted rotors. Exhaust is handled by
large, true-dual pipes that snake through an X-shaped crossover and
great sounding Magnaflow mufflers. Power rolls through 18-inch
Forgelines, which spin 245/40 BF Goodrich g-Force Rivals. And every
one of this Ford's details, from its choice Russell brake lines to
its welded Global West subframe connectors, has been carefully
planned and professionally executed.
Pop the doors and you'll find a custom leather interior installed
by the pros at Pittsboro, North Carolina's JNG Creations.
Diamond-stitched buckets provide comfort for four lucky passengers.
A leather-wrapped dash hangs a full suite of Auto Meter Pro-Comp
Ultra-Lite telemetry above hardware for the car's modern air
conditioning. A sculpted, full-length console bends a chrome
shifter in front of buttons for four power windows. LED-lit carpet
crawls past billet foot pedals on its way to stylish sills and
custom side panels. And the driver spins a classy Lecarra steering
wheel around a modern, tilting column.
This is a truly beautiful machine that runs and drives as good as
it looks.
