    '66 Vert Project

    Well you guys need to appreciate the clean, easy, nice fitting build of your Unique Kits. This is the flip side of a car build. Dirty, tough pain in the a$$. The '66 Mustang pro touring project is in high gear and I sure miss the Deluxe Pallet kit. First I disassemble the car to the bare body,sand and soda blast,order all new body parts, narrow the 9" housing, remove the front frame,expand the rear wheel tubs (soon), and fab up a torque arm. I cut out the bottom of the stock front and rear frame rails and shot a laser between them. (The stock version is a "uni-body style" not prepared for 500 hp and traction.) Then I cut out the floor pans and the seat platforms between them so the new frame could slide up into the slot and be completely welded to the car. To fit a 3" exhaust in the tunnel later I removed the center "vert" brace and it will be replaced with 3 crossmembers including the front torque arm mount.


    This is what I have so far after 200 plus hours:
    I will post more as I progress if everyone thinks it is appropriate here.
