Default Hi

I was led here from The Garage Journal. I'm building a 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback from the ground up starting with a new Dynacorn steel body. I'm modifying it to include a Ford Coyote 5.0 engine; Tremec T-56 six-speed transmission; Heidts Pro G independent front suspension; and the Heidts Pro G independent rear suspension. I thought I'd be limiting myself to simple fabrication of a bracket here and there but that is not to be. In order to get the engine to set at the correct angle I had to cut out the top of the transmission tunnel. Therefore I get to "shape" a new transmission tunnel. There may be other shaping opportunities as I may try to install a modern fuel door in the left rear quarter panel.

Hi Britt welcome to the forum ..... that will be a nice build
Wish we could do that here in OZ
But here in Australia we can not use or register those complete new bodies
We can only use bolt on panels from them
just a stupid law!!
