First, a little update
While waiting for one of my Techs that works for me to help with the rewiring of the Clone Vert (see sig photo), I decided to finish up the interior -except for wiring in the dash..
Installed new Shelby vert rollbar.
Mounted three point belts using roll bar as one of the points.
Fitted the 95 Cobra buckets and ran wire for the lumbar.
POR'ed the floor.
Will be laying "dynamat" and foil faced underlayment then carpet and seats and rear int quarters this weekend.
OK Thanks for your patience. Here's the cold feet part...
It's a 68 Clone with 67 front fenders and early 68 rear qtrs. (Came that way). Cleaner look, I think.
Since it's red, you won't hardly see the rear reflectors with the body color trim rings.
I'm installing all 67 brushed aluminum in the interior. JME guages and dash set plus JME alum door panels.
I'm doing a hump Hugger console also It will look like this but with a chrome fire extinguisher on a billet mount on the hump in front of a B&M magashifter. http://www.vintage-mustang.com/mow18/pictures/leather2.html
Same steering wheel but with a black leather rim.
The outside look will be as you see it - Very stock but lowered considerably because of the Global West suspension.
Wheels will be Edelbrock 454s like this. http://www.kkpony.com/67-68.html -Click on the blue 67 Shelby clone fastback.
The padded Shelby rollbar is canted back just a little to get rid of that bolt upright look. (matches the door opening angle)
OK, So am I going to make Mustangers puke at the cruise-ins or will it evoke comments like "Cool Restomod, Dude !"
I like the brushed aluminun look. Yes, it may look like a T-bird throwback but the "woodgrain" makes me ill. I'm considering 68 door handles. If you look at the reason why people have to replace the door panels, it's because of the scratches from their rings.
Engine compartment will look pretty much like Jays - http://www.classic-mustang.net/jay/

It will have a chrome monte carlo bar and aluminum radiator.
351W dynoed at 375hp 418 lb-ft torque, TCI AOD, 2800 rpm custom torque converter, 9" rear, 3.70-1 gears SSBC brakes front and rear and a total Global West suspension.
