I have been doing a 1966 Mustang Fastback Restomod for a number of years. I am getting close to completion. I will try and recreate the important parts of a series I did elsewhere but no longer have. Below is a summary, I will add to it as time progresses. I thought it would be helpfull to discuss problems with the build and the fixes for anyone wanting to attempt the same thing.
Donor car is a 1966 Fastback Mustang. It was originally a V-8 Automatic car, drum brakes, pretty generic.
The car lacked power, braked poorly and steered like a worn out truck.
Engine is replaced with a 347 Stroker.
Transmission is replaced with a 96 F-150 4R70W transmission
Steering has been replaced with a Total Control rack and pinion conversion. Front end completely rebuilt with stock parts.
Brakes have been replace with a 4 wheel disc set up and dual master cylinder. Granada front, Explorer rear.
Cooling is a 93 Mustang radiator with dual Spal electric fans
Rear end is a Currie 9 inch Ford with 3:89 gear and limited slip with 31 spline axles.
Safety improvements include a 3 point seat belts and subframe connectors. The dangerous one piece steering shaft has been replaced.
All new glass, paint, and interior.
All new wiring.
Fuel system improvements.
This thread will be a work in progress, much the same as the car.
