1969 Mustang race car that I have owned since 1970

[GPR]

Mustang is back at the shop. Need to do a lot of work getting it ready to race in A/SA or B/SA. The 428 CJ will be on the dyno later this week. I painted this in 2005 using SPI clear and it has never been waxed. It has been in an enclosed trailer for 6 years in the Florida heat. I wasn't sure what to expect when we unloaded it. After washing it the paint still looks great.

It's a really good looking car, can't wait to see you get it all back together.

I don't like any of the rims that were used while it was in storage.

Back rims matter

Back ends matter.

No it has never been there.

That wheel is worth a gozillion dollars!

Nice! I'm sure you just slapped on a set of wheels n tires for storage.

I think it looks better without the wheels and tires used for storage

Picked up 12 hp with Harland Sharp rockers. Peak hp was at 5850 rpm now it has 512 at 6200 and 509 at 6500. We will be testing the PI intake next.

Fitting Kirkey seats is not just a bolt in. The problem is the roll bar design won't let me have the seat back tilted enough so I will need to use a different steering wheel with less dish. We are mounting the Kirkey brackets to the stock seat tracks that will need to be modified.

Welding is finished on the seat tracks. I need to take them apart sand and epoxy prime black.

Seat tracks are finished now I need Brian to fab a back brace to the roll bar.

Today I installed a quick release steering wheel. It wasn't a simple bolt in.

The steering column had to be cut about 3/8" for clearance for my fingers to be able to install and release the wheel. The first time I tried it once it snapped in place it almost cut my fingers. The original steering wheel nut that now holds the inner spline on had to be ground down because it did not allow the quick release adapter to go down far enough to snap into place. I bought a 3 bolt release because I already had a 3 bolt to 5/6 bolt steering wheel adapter. They make a 5 hole release but I have a 5 and 6 bolt wheel and wasn't sure which one I would be using. If I had to do it again I would buy the 5 hole and not have the additional 1/2" adapter.
