It's done!

[Streetking]

I have been a lurker on this site for a while now. I really appreciate all the good information and everytime I asked a question, it was answered. Here are a few pictures. The first ones were when I trailered the car home after getting it back from the bodyshop, the second set were from last night in my garage after finishing the interior(sorry they are not that great)..

When I grow up.....I wanna have a signature just like yours! :drool:

[R4K]

She looks beautiful!

Is that a real or repro shaker unit?

[gsxrken]

I am constantly amazed at how many beautiful cars are really out there. Here’s a guy who goes from “lurker” to “one-of-the-nicest-69-owners-on-the-board” in one fell swoop. Very nice looking and there looks like there are some nice bits under the hood too. Post up your list of modifications when you get a chance.
PS- I think you’ll find that your 69 Mach 1 will just about stop traffic. I’ve had some other nice cars as well and they don’t compare to the stares and remarks the 69 gets.

[Pakrat]

Looks sharp, nice work!

[69frd]

When I grow up.....I wanna have a signature just like yours!

Can I have the shed as well, that awesome, I can hardly walk into mine at the moment!

I really like the way you have done the mach 1 hood highlights, and relcoations/finish under the hood.

Really nice looking car, black and stainless in a simple finish can look so much more without badges and clutter.

[coz]

StreetKing,

Very nice.... Great clean restromod setup.....

Now some questions;

- What's the tire sizes and what did you do to get the stance? Front / rear suspension?

- Obviously the shaker has been modified - how did you get it to fit? Would love to see some detailed pics. My intake (Torker II) is too tall now so the shaker really strains against the hood cutout. My plan is to go to a taller intake (strip Dommy) which would cause me to lose the shaker - which I don't want to do. So, how did you get it to work?

Again - great job and let's see some pics of the shaker and how it is installed.

[coz]

dup post....

[Streetking]

Thanks guys. Here are the specs on the car.

Motor: 351W Eagle Crank, Eagle Rods, J&E pistons, Edlebrock Victor CNC heads and hand ported, Victor intake, custom ground Comp cam, Canton road race oil pan. JBA shorty headers, Demon 750. Final compression is about 10.8. motor made 547hp. Aluminum radiator, dual Spal electric fans, all wiring& relays inside passenger inner fender, DSE remote battery kit.

Trans: TKO 600 5spd. Spec clutch, Hydrolic slave, scatter shield

Rear end: DTS 9" with 3.89 gear,

Suspension: Front is all Global west, upper/lowers, strut bars, 2" dropped springs (1 coil cut) upper A-arms redrilled. Large front sway bar.
Rear, stock rear springs d-arched 3" with 1" lowering block. KYB shocks,
Caltrack traction bars, Randals power rack& pinion.

Brakes are 13" Cobra 4 wheel disc.

Idid it tilt column, Budnik steering wheel

Wheels: Fikse FM5 18x8.5f 245/40/18 BFG KDs 18x10r 295/35/18 BFG KDs

Car was completely disassembled and painted blk and a shaker hood installed with a aftermarket shaker. Since the Victor manifold was too tall for the original lower base, I used a open element airfilter with a drop down base and modified the upper cover to accept the scoop only. The drip rails were also shaved and where the chrome strip wrapped around the quarter glass, the metal had to be spilt and re welded..

Interior: stock dash with factory tach and clock (refinished), stock seats recovered with the "sport seat" covers from NPD.

I have only driven it about 10 miles and it does drive really well and rides great. Unfortunately, we are having some crazy weather and we have sleet everywhere. Thanks again for this great site. Eventhough I own a few GM cars, my first car was a '67 Mustang GT and I have always wanted to build a '69 since that is my favorite year of the Mustang. I built this car to match my '69 Camaro. Here is a pic of that car. 710hp 534ci BB, 6spd, mini tubbed with all Detroit Speed parts..

i hate you, i hate you, i hate you, actually what i really hate is the fact that i don't live in Austin anymore so i can't just cruise over and get a ride and the nickel tour. do you still have the red Firebird? if so you sould post a couple pics of that car as well, there are a few people here that would appreciate that car, besides me.

car looks great!!!!!!

StreetKing,

You wrote "Since the Victor manifold was too tall for the original lower base, I used a open element airfilter with a drop down base and modified the upper cover to accept the scoop only."

Could you expand on this a bit? How you did it and maybe a picture or two? Can it be removed from the filter?

I was going to mount my shaker to the hood and have it move with it but your look is much cleaner and better looking.

And I agree with BNickel - show us what else you have. I love Mustangs but can surely appreciate any muscle car done well and your Camaro certainly applies.... Oh and hate is the wrong word B - envy is much closer to the fact....:001_rolleyes:

My shaker does not work like the original, it does shake with the engine, but the air does not flow through it. What I did was use a low profile "drop down" lower base(Moroso) and a short filter and a flat top air lid. I located the scoop with the hood closed and marked some holes in the bottom of the base of the shaker and welded some studs to the aircleaner top and attached the shaker to the lid.

B, Austin is a great place to live except for the last 3 days, we are iced in!!

The Trans Am is on it's way back from Detroit Speed today. They did their first 2 gen mini tubb and I also had them do custom headers, 3" stainless exhaust, Baer brakes and Fikse wheels. I did build all three of these cars except paint/body. All three were painted locally by a friend of mine. I bought everything for the Camaro from Detroit Speed. I sent both the Camaro and Trans AM to Detroit Speed to have them do some upgrades to both cars. Here are a few pictures of the T/A..

its a good looking car now ,but it was a good looking car when you got it to

[chillininnh]

Can you give us the backspacing numbers on the wheels, and what kind of mods, if any, were done to make them fit. Thanks, your car is one of THE nicest modded 69's I've ever seen.

[Arrowhead]

Wow, that car is sick. (pick one, any one)

I'm sure we'll be seeing the mustang on some magazine covers soon.

[R4K]

So is that shaker one of Leon's units from fordramair.com?

[newschool]

Yes please do I want to go with the same setup

[newschool]

yes,please do give us specs on the back spacing on the wheels,and what kind of mods you had to do to the car to make them fit! Awsome car!!

[fvike]

Awesome car(s) StreetKing! You can't go wrong with clean black cars.
Anyway, I got 3 questions...
What paint did you use on the hood blackout? Does it leave water marks when you wash it? Did you have to modify anything to fit the 10" wide rear wheel?

[70Coupe]

personally, not to be a dick, i wanna know what StreeKing does for a living, to have such sweet cars. cuz those are NOT low dollar builds.

[bnickel]

i think he is a car dealer actually. i can't remember where i got that info but that's what's sticking in my head.

[Streetking]

personally, not to be a dick, i wanna know what StreeKing does for a living, to have such sweet cars. cuz those are NOT low dollar builds.

I have been a high line car dealer for 25 years here in Austin, selling Ferrari, Porsche, BMW ect..

fvike, I don't know the name of the paint, I will have to ask my paint guy. No, it does not leave marks after washing it, but I have only washed it twice.:) I had to used a hammer and modified some of the inner fender panel for clearance. It will rub on the inside if you go into a steep driveway at a angle but I think if you run a 285 or 275, it should be fine.

R4K, I actually found the shaker on Ebay.

chillininnh, the front was originally a 18x8.5 with 5.375 bs. It did fit ok but after getting it to the ride height you see here, I sent the front wheels back and had another .500 cut off the pad so I could turn it lock to lock. The rear is a 18x10 with 6.375bs. With the 295/35/18 BFG, I had to use a 1/8 spacer because the tire was almost touching the spring. If I went with a 275/40/18, there would be no issues but I wanted to go with the biggest tire I could fit.

Here is a picture of what the front wheel looks like inside the fender.

SW, it looks like you went the Randall's Rack kit i suggested, how do you like it? i wanted to get that kit for my car but i came across a really great deal on a TCP power rack on ebay, it was just the rack and did not include any of the mounting hardware and stuff but even for the $500 that stuff will cost me from TCP i'll still have under $1000 in it, actually more like about $850-900 including shipping so there was no way i could pass it up.

i sure am glad to see that the 295's fit with no mods we've had some heated discussions on here about that very thing and everyone always tells me i'm wrong and that they won't fit without major mods to the wheelwell even after i tell them that they will and i've actually seen it. your car is my proof, LOL.

next time i'm down in Austin i'll look you up.:devil:

Wow.. Pretty much a perfect Stang in my book.

So that's 5.875 bs with a 8.5 up front and the 6.375 in the back.
I guess that is a standard width housing in the back as well?

[70-DropTop]

Streetking, thanks for sharing. That car is awesome. If I had a fastback, my gameplan would be similar to what you have done with yours. However, I have a convertible, so it is a little different. Regardless of body type, the stance and wheels I plan to run are very similar to yours.

Right now, I have a set of 18x9.5 wheels with 275/35/18 rubber on them waiting to go on. Backspacing is 6.12. I really like them and there's sentimental value for me keeping them. So, I'm hell-bent to put them on my convertible.

Seeing the photos of your car with that stance, plus you sharing your wheel info, really helps me visualize what mine would look like and what I need to/can do. I already knew that I'll have to narrow two of them for the front. I was thinking 1.5", giving me 18x8 with 4.62 backspacing, which appears to be very close to what you have. I'll try to put 245 series rubber on them. For the rear, I planned to leave them alone and maybe put 285 or 295 rubber on them. The 275 already on them looks good, but 285 or 295 might be better.

The end result should be similar, only on a 70 convertible.

Thanks again. :thumbup:

Please do. I really appreciate all your help, yes I did go with the Randal's Rack set up. This kit really is a true bolt in kit, no issues, no cutting trimming ect. The car steers extremely well, I highly recomend it.

Ok guys, the deal on the rear wheels. You can run a 295/35/18 with just a small amount of inner fender clearance with a hammer in the right spots. My car is really low and the BFG KD tire runs a little big. If I was to go with a Nitto or Toyo Proxy, I wouldn't need a 1/8 space at all. Some tires just run a bit bigger in the same size than others and when your working with tight clearances, size does matter.

Stephen, yes I have a stock width housing.

There is a friend of mine named Rick Flores from San Antonio, some of you guys might know him, he is a big Mustang guy and his red '69 Boss was in Popular Hotrodding a few years ago. He has been a big help to me with alot of advice on my Mustang build. He and a couple of his friends have a hanger full of their Mustangs. Rick built two Mustangs for SEMA '05. His Boss is slammed also and he has 10" TT2s with 295s also. I went down to test fit my rear wheels. Here are some pictures of his stuff and my wheels on his car..

The orange '70 belongs to a good friend of his, the blue '69 is his brother-n-law's. The orange '70 and the blue '69 are on air ride. In the pictures, there is no air in them. His red Boss is on regular suspension like mine, it drives like it sits. He has alot of n.o.s parts also..

[Grabber70Mach]

First let me say that your car is excellent looking. It is how I would eventually like mine to look with the stance and tires. I have a couple of questions though. 1) When you did the Cobra brakes did you use a kit for the brackets or make your own? 2) To fit the tire setup you used how much of the inner fender lip did you have to roll, can you post pictures of it?
On the front rims/tires is this what you ended up with after you had it milled?

Front is 18x8.5 with 4.875bs tire is 245/40/18
Is there any problem with getting it to turn completely?

Thanks

Buuuuuttttt I have a question. Right now I have 17X7 TTII's up front and 17X8's in rears. I'll be switching the rears out for 17X9.5.

Since there is a .5" different in wheel widths and they one AR sells are 6.38" BS w/ a 28mm offset should I go ahead and get a spacer for the rears and also what size?

Car was completely disassembled and painted blk and a shaker hood installed with a aftermarket shaker. Since the Victor manifold was too tall for the original lower base, I used a open element airfilter with a drop down base and modified the upper cover to accept the scoop only. The drip rails were also shaved and where the chrome strip wrapped around the quarter glass, the metal had to be spilt and re welded..

Interior: stock dash with factory tach and clock (refinished), stock seats recovered with the "sport seat" covers from NPD.

I have only driven it about 10 miles and it does drive really well and rides great. Unfortunately, we are having some crazy weather and we have sleet everywhere. Thanks again for this great site. Eventhough I own a few GM cars, my first car was a '67 Mustang GT and I have always wanted to build a '69 since that is my favorite year of the Mustang. I built this car to match my '69 Camaro. Here is a pic of that car. 710hp 534ci BB, 6spd, mini tubbed with all Detroit Speed parts..

Beautiful cars--love the Mustang's stance and the Camaro's engine compartment.

Someone posted that link a few years back when i was inquiring about doing the Trans Am nose tuck. Has any progress been made on that, or has it stalled out? I see the last entry was from 09.
