this is what 10secgoal and I get to work all day

[12sec67]

this is what kind of work 10secgoal and I get to do.

customer has this 67 fastback with a 5 speed and wanted to make it handle better.



list of new mods:

new stock front susp with the shelby drop with 620 coils, monte carlo bar, polyurathene kit (front and rear) , Rack and pinion steering conversion with tilt column, front and rear sway bar, reverse eye 5 leafs, kyb's, Caltracts, Subframe connetors, pro-car seats, lowered seat pan, 3-point harness, and a set of limited slip 3.80 gears to get the most out of his 5 speed.

can't forget the rims 17 x 8, 17 x 9.5's.

when 10secgoal (Dustin) and I went on the test drive we knew it would handle much better but had no idea how great an old mustang could take a turn. I think the 3 point seat belts are going to have to come out and be replaced by 4 or 5 point seat belts to hold the passenger in. If there was any body roll while taking the turns we took... we didn't feel it!

Nice car!

Geez, with a work order like that you should have told him you would yank that camaro spoiler off the back free of charge.

So what is he running for an engine? Sounds like she's going to be a real corner carver now, I'll bet that was one hell of a test drive.

Nice car. Not a fan of the wing though.

What is the bs. on the rear wheels?
Are those rear fenders flared?

 

[10secgoal]

I didn't care for the wing too much at first. But kinda grew on me. The BS is 5.5. It could use a little less maybe because of the wheel flares in the back. It has just small ones, but feels like stock metl back there though.
Engine is a 289-302 with a solid in it. You can here it, alot in the car. Hear the lifters going to town. Old school twisted torker 2 on it, and stock heads.

 

[SHIFTY101EASY]

yeah seriously, did he like run out of money for the right quarter panel extensions and the just give up...?

 

[10secgoal]

Not sure what it's from. Its molded to the stock trunk. And it's not as high as a CS decklid. But it sure does fit better than one.
I spent alot of time on the floor pans. Guy's like 6'4'' and the Procar seats don't help. The back of the new seat pan is only .5 inches off the pan. The front is 1.25 off the pan, and they were moved about 6-7 inches back.
I'd say for the seats you need to lower the pan .75-1 inch just to put those seats in.

What are your camber spec's? Looks like it has some - on the set up. I bet it does handle good. That's just a mean looking ride....

 

[10secgoal]

It's just a standard alignment. I didn't tell him anything specifically.

I took this picture before we sent it to alignment.

 

[D.Hearne]

If you lowered the suspension, you sure can't tell from the pics. Still sets too high.

That must have been fun. How is the ride and is what were his comments after driving it?

 

[Dark Knight]

Spoiler is ok, but those bazooka tail pipes need to go..
Looks good though...

everyone has there own idea of how a car should sit.

It really drove well, the suspension is tight and handles great but still isn't jarring.

he hasn't drove it yet, the car still has to shipped back to him.

 

[Decurion]

Does it have roller spring perches? I havent actually used them yet, but I hear nothing but rave reviews about 'em. I would think especially with the 620s they would help a lot.

 

[10secgoal]

ttt

 

[meganjoe]

what brand rack & pinion did you install???

 

[10secgoal]

Sorry for the TTT. The owner isn't a memebr as he wanted to see his car pics.Didn't do the roller perches.But Decurion, they are well worth the money !
Meganjoe, we put put a randalls rack in the car w/ P/S.

 

[Pakrat]

MMMM, that's what I'd like to do some day, a power Randalls rack. Was it really a bolt right up application? Everything I have read so far seems to indicate that Randalls is the one ot go with hands down.
