Wow, your car looked great before the tear down, how bad was it? Your progress looks good.

[Rudolph Schenker]

Wow, your car looked great before the tear down, how bad was it? Your progress looks good.

The car had been repainted and was about a 5 footer. The engine aprons and shock towers were a disaster (structurally poor) scab welds everywhere. Interior was poor. My plans are new front and rear suspension, new engine aprons, new paint, this year. Next year new engine and interior. I'll keep the pics coming

IMHO, Its a RestoMod so I'd think Fuel Injection for sure. You also have tons of room in the engine compartment, so a 4.6 or 5.4 supercharged mod motor would be way cool. If you don't have that kind of money you could always throw in a EFI 302 and a T5 or AOD/AODE. Whatever you choose I'm sure it will be cool. Enjoy your build!

Burn out!

What kind of money would I be looking at for a 5.4 supercharged (turnkey) product? Or could I take the 351 Windsor and put a centrifugal or a Magnacharger on it. What would you do? Budget is up to about 8k.

[BuckeyeDemon]

Budget is up to about 8k.

isn't a supercharger going to run at least 3k by itself?

[Rudolph Schenker]

isn't a supercharger going to run at least 3k by itself?

I was thinking in terms of keeping the 351w and adding the supercharger. Like I said I'm open to some recommendations:blush:

[BuckeyeDemon]

i saw Hot Rod TV put a new coyote motor in a street rod.

What i like about that motor was the SOHC valve covers they put on (or made?). Very cool.

I personally would love to see you put a 5.4 mod long block in your car (with your own accessories and top end. I think that alone would set your build apart from most other builds.

you should at least double your budget for your motor build. that way you don't start taking shortcuts once you see the real expenditures adding up.

well, i guess i'm done spending other peoples money.

good luck!

Should be able to do alot to that 351 with 8k but look at all that room you have with the towers removed. I would BIG BLOCK that baby.

[468stang]

5.4 would be mint too.

[BuckeyeDemon]

Should be able to do alot to that 351 with 8k

i wish that were true for my basic 351W. i must have done something wrong! :helpsmilie:

You are probably right! I'll tell my wife 8k but plan on 12? I have got some time to think about it. I do appreciate your ideas, thanks!

[Jayru]

My vote's for a coyote motor as well! It's $6500 for a complete motor and $1500 for the street rod ECU and harness. There's your 8K right there for a turn key 412hp motor!

Can those brake rotors be driven on??

[Ry-speeed]

Everytime I see pics of someone doing the IFS swap I drool. Gotta start saving my money. What provisions did you take to ensure the front end stayed square? Were your frame rails and torque boxes in good enough shape you didn't have to do any repairs?

I have ALOT of rot in my front structure. I'm thinking it would be less work starting fresh with new rails and the crossmember. I want to go that route in the future so I might as well save up and not have to re do the front end twice.

What were your reasons for choosing to go IFS? Engine room? Handling? Old frame damage?

That was Hollywood Hotrods right? They made their own intake that had old school velocity stacks for each cylinder too! Taking a brand new motor and re-designing the top end. It was pretty badass!

I really disliked the shock towers and how they crowded the engine compartment. The torque boxes and frame rails were in good condition (straight). I really like the old look with the more modern components, hence the resto-mod. Front IFS seemed like a good way to get more modern handling, get a rack and pinion, clean up the engine bay, and have the option to go any way I want with the motor and make it all pretty at the same time! :001_smile:

[Ry-speeed]

Exactly, the power rack/pinion, clearence issues for engine compartment are important to me. Could you post some more pics of the IFS install?

[10851CVC]

That looks like a TCI IFS setup. You will need to change your oil pan and pick-up on that motor you have pictured to a rear sump if you want it to work with that IFS.

The motor is sold. I'm trying to decide what to replace it with.:helpsmilie:

[10851CVC]

Man Im slow today. Should have read the text between the pictures.

On another note. I have been contemplating the TCI IFS. How was the install of this product? I am by no means a master faber. I also only have a Lincoln 145 MIG. Were all of the templates and guides pretty straight forward when welding in the cross member and other pieces. I would love to pick your brain about the setup.

Before I forget, final question. Did this setup change the backspacing for your wheels, because I already have my wheels and don't want to re-buy them. I know its a lot, but any info would be appreciated.

I'm in the same boat as you, wondering if my MigPack-10 is up this level of fabrication. Hopefully by the time I have repaired my car's frame rails and welded in new torque boxes my skills will be... adequate haha.

To the guy mentioning having to swap out the oil pan for a deep sump, does this apply w/ a 302 as well? Are there any other mods like motor mounts?

I'm having some one help me ( a lot) with the welding. We are using a Thermo-arc 250 for the frame and a Lincoln 185 for the engine aprons.

The set up is very straight forward. The product is remarkably well engineered. It looks like the rear will be more narrow resulting in a more negative offset (I think) I will have to re-check the measurements.

[10851CVC]

Ry-Speed,

Yes, with the TCI IFS you have to use a rear sump because the rack and pinion is mounted in the front.

I'll check it out. Thanks!

[Rudolph Schenker]

The transition pan had some rust and was in poor condition, so out it came! I'm also prepping the axel housing for the TCI brackets to be welded. I plan on taking out the inner rear wheel wells and "snugging" them up to the frame rails. This should help in running wider tires in the rear.

I also had to cut a bit on the engine aprons that replace the shock towers. These are intended to bolt in after shock tower removal, however I am welding them in, so a larger opening had to be created in order to install the upper A-arms.

[Ry-speeed]

This forum is great. So much useful information thrown around.

Now to add rear sump oil pan to be list of engine components to purchase.


Are there no structural pieces directly under the rear seat platform? It's been a while since I've poked around and I can't recall any bracing perpendicular to the rear Rails.

[Rudolph Schenker]

Waiting for some key things, like suspension and engine,,,, I decided to work on some interior things...... I'm putting some custom seats in......

Fiero buckets FTW! I think I've got a couple sets laying around from when I was going to install 'em in my car, but I chose to go with something else. They are pretty good seats, and I always liked the speakers in the headrest thing.

No,No.......
No Chevy parts, those are brackets welded on the stock axle housing. They are part of TCI's rear torque suspension package.

Looking good. How wide is the strip you added to the wheel wells? Did it bring the inner wheel wells even with the frame wells?

Adding the additional strip brought the inner fender well almost even to the rear frame rails. Gave me an additional 1 1/2 inches. Hopefully this will allow wider tires.

Do you have any plans to modify the center console e-brake handle area?

[Rudolph Schenker]

Nice.

Do you have any plans to modify the center console e-brake handle area?


I bought a 2005 ebrake handle off Ebay, I'm hoping to modify it to fit off the trans tunnel. :sweatdrop:

[69gmachine]

First I have to say what an awesome build you have going! There are so many talented people on this site with incredible cars. I hope you put a lot of miles on it when you're done.

What size wheels and tires do you have up front? Are they just for mock up or are those the actual ones you intend to use? They look massive!

Wheels are for mock up only, they are some old Centerline wheels off a C4 Vette. They are 16 inch, not sure of the width. However, I plan on 18's in the front and 19's in the rear.

[Big Secz]

I'm looking forward to seeing where you are going with the interior. I'm a fan of the idea of trying to modify late model interiors to fit in classics. Would like to see more pictures of the console and modifications you make to get it to fit.

Of course I will replace the parking lever boot and handle,,,, the fitting was easier than I thought it would be, once I secure the console and place the carpet I think it will look reasonably good:yes::yes:

[MikeStang]

What did that console come out of?

[Rudolph Schenker]

What did that console come out of?


2005 Mustang

[Big Secz]

This is great. Please keep the pics and updates coming on this.

[MikeStang]

What did you use for that front extension piece

[Rudolph Schenker]

What did you use for that front extension piece


24gauge sheet metal, somewhat rigid and pliable. Remember the front extension sits underneath the dash center (right under the HVAC controls). So while not perfect OEM look, the transition looks good. I wanted something that would fit nicely up underneath. The 2005 console is almost exactly the same width and it has 2 extension tabs on the sides. I used plastic rivets to attach to the sheet metal. There is also a groove all the way around the front of the console that allowed me to "tuck" the sheet metal edge into.

Here is a pic of the underside...............

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v737/rschenker/1969%20Mach%201/IMG_1812.jpg


None of the aftermarket center console pieces look very good (IMO), even the one company that replicates the Shelby console does just an average job.

[stangme428]

ok ... so how much for the example Shelby console....:clap: ill take either one, they both look good... but i bet the 2005 is cheaper...

great work!!!

[stangme428]

i may be copying your 2005 console setup..... my 69 cougar XR7 console plastic seems brittle and the handle on my emergency brake is broken off. being that i need to reroute the parking brake cable due to the T56 install, this looks like a good option.
thanks for posting!!

Finally found a unit that will clear the driver's valve head cover and still give me power braking, supposedly even superior to hydroboost!

[Cornerstone]

Please tell us more..... Electric brakes? Who makes them? How much ? Any mods required to the brake pedal ?

[BuckeyeDemon]

very cool! that's a tight squeeze. do you think you'll have contact with the master cylinder when hitting the throttle, forward/reverse?

[Rudolph Schenker]

Please tell us more..... Electric brakes? Who makes them? How much ? Any mods required to the brake pedal ?

I had few choices if I wanted power brakes, no room on the firewall for a vacuum booster that wouldn't interfere with the clutch master. Hydroboost was a possibility but required a significant amount of machine work on the housing to fit.

This was an expensive option(1100.00 :ohmy:), but a very clean install. ABS Power Brakes out of CA makes the unit. Mounts right up to my firewall mounting holes and they made an offset master that would clear my valve covers. No mods to the brake pedal at all.

[Rudolph Schenker]

The engine in the pics is not in it's final position ( trans is not installed) this moves the engine over a bit and will not touch the master, however it will be tight could be some contact with engine movement. I did not have many options, even the specially machined and prepped hydroboost unit came within a 1/4 inch of the valve covers.

1100.$ comes with what? Just the booster? I went to the website and didn't see any pricing. It looks like they offer a bunch of different kits. They have some BIG ol brakes available, 14.5 in. rotors:ohmy:

[BuckeyeDemon]

you're doing a good job. it's fatiquing to watch all the mods!

[Rudolph Schenker]

No, you get the booster and the pump, with the accumulator and various fittings, all pre-wired. See the pump assembly.........

Got my wheels! also started on the EFI wiring. I'm using The Detail Zone's product and am pleased thus far with the quality and instructions. I also mounted the battery in the trunk ( used an Odyssey 925 with bracket).

The wiring is somewhat tedious. I'm taking my time and trying to make the install as clean as possible.

This will be my next version of my fastback, still working on the 302 4 speed. I've built a cobra replica with an ls1. I know its a damn chevy but its a sweet combo to drive. Congrats on your progress!!!

How do you fasten the speaker boxes in the rear quarters? I've always wondered how folks do this? Looks really really nice.

[BuckeyeDemon]

i'm pretty sure you're a machine. that's a lot of wiring!

[Rudolph Schenker]

How do you fasten the speaker boxes in the rear quarters? I've always wondered how folks do this? Looks really really nice.


The panels fasten to the rear most panel corners from the inside. I also am using extra long 1/4 inch bolts that replace the factory ones on the trunk hood springs on the front/top of each side panel. Seems to hold each panel solid.

[Rudolph Schenker]

i'm pretty sure you're a machine. that's a lot of wiring!

It was a lot of wiring. I still need to do the gauge cluster:sweatdrop: !

I'm thinking of going with a Haneline product and try and retain the bezel/gauge look as much as possible.

[70mstang]

I looked at Haneline too, but thier selection was pretty limited. I ordered a new gauge set up from New Vintage. They have some very cool gauges. http://www.newvintageusa.com/

They hand build each gauge pod.

I picked the 67 series with a tach, speedo, dual gauges for oil pressure/fuel & voltage/temp with LEDs in them for turn signals & highbeam. but they will build anything you want. I really loved the 69 series but would have had to wait a few months to save up more $$.

Hate to admit it but it's a Chevy color, Millennium Yellow, :blush:. The final paint is not finished, I plan on some stripes and more coats of clear. I just need to get it assembled to the point where the paint can be finalized.

Lookin good! Is that a custom center console? It's a nice fit!

[stangme428]

looks amazing!!! video is next?!?:thumbup1:

[Powershift]

I love the Terminator engine swap, and the mods made to the stock hood for clearance of the supercharger. VERY clean job.

This will be one amazing car when done.

[6T9rustang]

Nice project. Where did you get the horns from?

[Fordrevhead]

Those are Hella horns

[Rudolph Schenker]

It's a center console from an 2010 mustang. Cut, fit, modified to fit in the 69. It took a bit of work. :sweatdrop:

[Pyetime]

I have been curious about the fitment of a late model Mustang console. The prices I have seen are fair, I'm just not that talented with fab work.

where'd you buy the chrome trim for the dash gauges?

[Rudolph Schenker]

where'd you buy the chrome trim for the dash gauges?

The chrome trim is actually just accent trim built into the gauge bezel. The gauge bezel is a repro, (I think I got it from CJ Pony) for a 69 Mach. In the beginning I wanted to keep the mechanical gauges, however it was too difficult to interface them with the EFI sytem and no voltmeter or oil pressure. :sad:

I like the JME bezel, but it's overpriced and you lose the original look that I'm trying to retain:001_smile:. ( well as much as possible)

[Jayru]

Who makes the gauges you installed in the factory cluster? Sharp!

[Rudolph Schenker]

Haneline. I was very happy with the fitment and quality. The speedo is nice as it uses GPS. No need for a signal wire!!

The car is just running now, adjusting the clutch and sorting through some wiring issues. I will get it dyno-tuned for sure. There is a shop in Salt Lake City specializing in Mustangs/mod-motors. I have spoken with them and will get it done before Spring.

Thanks for all the compliments! :smile:

[TheMenace]

Great work. Going through all your pics is inspiring me to do some more work on mine lol

do you have any more pics of the 05 mustang center console installed? i am thinking about doing this too bc i am putting a 6x9 speaker in the fresh air ducts by the foot wells in the front and it blocks any chance for me to install the ebrake pedal there. the 05 console will solve that problem to and it looks 100x better than the original one.

Awesome. Most ported Eaton Cobras are putting down around 500rwhp. That should make your car quite the beast! Not to mention, great fuel mileage on the highway when you aren't under boost. My Whipple'd '03 Cobra puts down 600rwhp, and gets 23 mpg cruising on the highway. Hard to beat modern technology!

Clutch switch is a generic item from NAPA, I think it's for late 80's early 90's Bronco's?. I think it was 12 dollars.

what kind of issues? That is a BRIGHT yellow though.looks good.

The doors and fenders needed re-aligning, also despite my best efforts I'm not able to use the stock hood (just can't get enough clearance for the IAC valve)........... so I'm using a cowl hood (fiberglass) and it will need some prep work :rolleyes::rolleyes:.

Also getting some custom stripes so everything has to line up nicely before they can be applied. Just taking a little more time than I anticipated. :hammer:

[Rudolph Schenker]

I need to update this thread a bit..............


Just could not get the stock hood to fit properly....even after major surgery it didn't look right http://images.proboards.com/sad.gif

Wow. Thanks for the pics man. A shop(tms) told me they can fit shorty headers but I wanted to verify with some of the guys on here. Also, would this mod swap have been easier to do with a 2001 cobra engine? You know, the lame one without the supercharger.

That I don't know. The supercharger (IAC valve) was the cause of the hood clearance problems. I'm not sure how much clearance the 2001 intake needs.

[Angel]

Reading through this thread is awesome and at the same time, very discouraging haha. I have a 2001 cobra engine and trans I want to put in my 69 but I want to get a feel for what its going to take. Thanks for posting all the pics and info about your build.

Still working on the folding seat and rear glass. :sweatdrop::sweatdrop:

[Powershift]

VERY clean install!

Who makes the 3 point seatbelt system you used?

[TheMenace]

Love the work you are going. Coming out great. I like the way you mounted your 3 point seat belt I might do the same thing.

The seat belts are from Summit Racing. I think they are Autoloc brand? They were a generic item and pretty reasonable (60-70 bucks). I used a plastic beauty clip to give the slots I cut in the rear trim pieces a "finished look". Those pieces I had left over from when I did my Vette a couple of years ago. I like the hidden retractor mechanism, it cleans up the interior.:001_smile:

Thanks! The seat belts were easy, I would recommend it for your build (which is looking good, by the way !!:thumbup1:)

This looks really similar to what you did. Clean appearing install too.

Yes, almost identical, except I mounted the retractor mechanism perpendicular to the the side of the car. I re-enforced the floor pan seam right behind the floor bracket for the rear arm rest trim. I think it will work well.

wild rebuild man!!

[TexasEd]

Is that the original hood with the cowl vent welded on over the top?

[Rudolph Schenker]

Is that the original hood with the cowl vent welded on over the top?

No, despite my best efforts I couldn't get the original hood to clear the engine. The hood is a fiberglass cowl hood. The fitment was good and the finish good. It didn't require much prep.:001_smile: I even got it from CJ Pony.

Thanks for the link to the 3 point seat belt install Powershift, it will come in handy.

Does the track width remain the same as stock with the mustang 2 suspension? Also, did you lose ground clearance in the front with the m2 crossmember?

[Machspeed]

Wow, this is an impressive build!!! Moreover, it was done at light speed!!! Takes me two weeks just to decide how to plumb my shop for compressed air. Guess that's the difference between light speed and mach speed. Thanks for sharing.

My wife teases me that this is supposed to be a hobby. I just don't like unfinished things:innocent:: I'm kinda looking for another project!:yes:

Yes I lost some ground clearance, fortunately there is some adjustability with the height on the coil overs. I have 350lbs springs in front and am thinking about changing them for this very reason. I'm not sure about the track width, maybe somebody smarter than me can answer this.

[Angel]

I love your car dude. If you dont mind, can you measure your ride height at the front fender? and if you REALLY dont mind, can you measure how much ground clearance you have under the mustang 2 cross member? Im worried that if I follow in your footsteps, I may have to raise my car to avoid hitting stuff on the road since that cross member hangs below the front frame rails. Last time I measured my car, the fender lip was right at about 24" off the ground. I kinda want to lower the car another inch all around but the front spoiler already scrapes just about everything.

Ya, I can measure it for you. I'm out of town till this weekend, but when I get back I' ll do it. You are right, the spoiler scrapes on almost everything:001_unsure:

[Angel]

Wow thanks man. I appreciate it.

Thanks a lot man! Wow so your car is about as low as mine was. Looks like the ground clearance under the crossmember should be ok then. Thanks.

[Rudolph Schenker]

Pretty much complete!!!!! :) :)

Came out real nice.:punk:

[grabbermach1]

Just read through all 24 pages, amazing attention to detail. Being able to pretty much put any year part in there gives you so many more options than period correct.

Maybe I missed this but when you started you had a deluxe wood grain interior gauge cluster with a tach. Did you paint that cluster black and change the gauges with the new ones or is that a completely different cluster? Also any shot you have the original gray face gauges for sale? I have a mint cluster bezel that it is not a tach version so looking to piece together the rest a little at a time.

[Powershift]

The car looks great!

Be sure to post up your dyno results!

Pm me about the gauges, I still have them. :yes:

[BuckeyeDemon]

looks good!

have you had a chance to take it out yet?

do you have plans for your next project?

[Rudolph Schenker]

Yes I have taken it out. Front suspension needs adjusted, clutch needed adjustment, etc. I'm getting it dyno-tuned next week and will post up the results. So far I'm pleased with the ride and how the car handles.

As far as the next project......... not sure, I bought an enclosed car hauler trailer, so between that and finishing up the Mustang, I think I have exceeded my allowance for the year.:blushing: Do you have any plans?

[BuckeyeDemon]

Do you have any plans?
1963 1/2 Galaxie XL. Stock look dressed for a Factory Lightweight feel. Big inch Dart based windsor with a canted valve head and dual quads w/ram air (teardrop hood). 5/6 speed stick with a slight minitub.

It's all planned out and will probably be my last big car project :shifty:

I would love a car hauler...

Best of luck while you show it off!

[Rudolph Schenker]

Here are the dyno results.........

Very happy with the results........this is at an elevation of 5000!

[Powershift]

Good power and tq!

Is that your AF ratio at 15+? If so, that's too lean! You want 12 or under for an '03/'04 Cobra engine to operate safely.

No, those are some WOT runs. I'm pretty sure the tuner got the AF around 12 at the end, as you mentioned! Thanks.:yes:

[Lemon Owner]

Fantastic looking car in a great colour. Congratulations on getting it finished, good to see them all done. What's the next project?

[Angel]

Look at that flat torque curve!! Congratulations man.
