![]() Don't take anything I might say as a discredit to the person that tried to do his own build. I believe anyone who thinks they can do a good job should at least try. Be like this fella and know when to say when though. I started tearing into it this morning. So far we pulled the engine and tranny, cut the firewall out, that the customer tried installing then, cut, bent and put a better 14ga. one in. Pulled the rearend out so we can install an 8" Mustang rear with a triangulated 4 bar. Pulled the engine and tranny before we took the first pic ![]() I'll let the build unfold instead of listing what we are going to do ![]() Enjoy ![]() |

What's the plan for the front end? Looks like it needs some stance work for sure. Nothing a master builder like you can't handle I'm sure.
Where do you find these guys?

![]() I think it's becoming what Torchie said ![]() I'm honest with them going in. I always tell them up front that, it'll be more for a rescue than it would be if I had started from scratch. I tried to get him to go straight axle like mine but, he decided to keep the front suspension. It's a stock Mustang ll. I'm installing 2" drop spindles, tubular upper and lowers and will be baggin this beast to get a good ride height. |

The chop sure makes the doors look like they were stretched. I think the slice in the door panel helped throw me on it, too. Makes mine look lie a phone booth T coupe.
Looks like a project... But we know you can handle it well. ![]()

Skip I love the looks of your truck
![]() My son Eric is working with me in the shop now ![]() ![]() First pic is of the firewall welded in. We took the truck apart to do the mods and found the frame to be 5/8 out of square. They used 2 x 4 tubing slid into the original Chevy Luv frame. We cut the drivers side at the weld and adjusted it. |
