My latest project, a 68 Shelby GT500 pro-touring. The wheels are 20×8 in the front, 20×10 in the rear which required a complete re-imagining of the suspension. This took the form of a 66 Olds Cutlass front and rear independent suspension swap. With the rolling stock handled, we move to the power train…


The engine is a Ford Coyote V8 with Edelbrock supercharger and Tremec 6060 trans. I am currently addressing the issue of the Mustang being too small to house this engine LOL


And speaking of not enough room. It turns out 10inch wide rear wheels require some sacrifices in interior space. I scratchbuilt the interior panels to clear the tires that gobbled up a third of the rear seat. Don’t get me started on how much room that giant transmission is taking out of the interior.

I love Mustangs! What color are you going to paint it?

I went with Testors Blazing Black. I’m still on the fence about the rocker panel stripes, I’ll either use the red or no stripe at all. The interior is all kinds of red by the way
