How about a chopped top, Mustang quarter panels and door skins on a '67 Ranchero? Also a full frame, large round headlights insted of dual stacked headlights. Next thing we're doing is bending up a 12 point cage. The car also has Mustang II IFS with rack and pinion steering.Last edited by Dave Severson; 03-26-2005 at 03:26 PM.

Thanks Joe, any unusual and a Blue Oval gets the old brain clicking again. Kind of easy to get bored with the same old project cars and mods all the time !!!! The station wagons were neat, didn't really see a roof line I liked, gotta give that some thought.Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Unbelievable !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Illinois comes back from a 15 point deficit in the last 3:28 minutes to tie AZ. Then beats 'em by 1 pt. in overtime. Final 4 Time. HEHEHEOriginally posted by lt1s10

O.K. I'm back. I deleted my list, but you got to it B4 it was deleted. yer' too fast for me. I don't have any exterior stuff done yet, but There aren't too many street cars with an aluminum modular rear housing and home built parts to keep it from fallin' out.Last edited by pro70z28; 03-26-2005 at 08:26 PM.

a home made part is a part made with a cutting tourch and welder. i think you're pushing that home made stuff a little over the top. all of that stuff can be bought out of the book if youve got enough money. looks like the "same o" to me.Originally posted by pro70z28

For sure!! I recall Jim's torsion bar suspension on at least one of his builds, but I'm not sure which one! Maybe the Track T?? He's a talented builder.
