Has anybody read the "Today's Hottest Mustang Restomod" article in this months issue?

I liked the GT350H article the most, especially when the say that the high school age girl with the help of her father installed the supercharged '03Cobra drivetrain, Mustang II front suspension, '01 Cobra independent rear suspension, which requires the installation of the '01 rear floor section.

Then in the closing line they add, although several of the major jobs were farmed out.

Which item in that list is not major?

IIRC wasn't this also a cover story in the recent past?

 

Yup, it's been built out... I'm sure they wax it though But she does track it herself, that's respectable.

 

Haven't seen it yet, although I did receive an email asking if my car was in MM this month. I dunno...

I know the car you're speaking of though. Really nice, but definitely not built in a "home garage". :nono:

 

Is it this car?

That's it - prior to the blown '03 motor upgrade...

 

Your car did make the article, no question from me about how much of the work you did yourself.

 

Did any Trouble from Arizona make the article... you'd think that was Today's Hottest Restomod, or was it yesterdays?

 

Wow, I stopped by the store on the way home from work and got the magazine. I had NO idea MM was doing that article. There's 12 cars listed in the "Cutting Edge Restomods" article...

Year One's 66
Fastforward Fastback
The GT350H mentioned above
The Godsey's 67 Super Snake
Ring Brothers Red Vert & Silver FB
Terlingua Coupe
Two Eleanors
Ford Cammer
A NICE red 65 FB 331 EFI, SC, 6-speed built by JMC
& mine!

One of the Eleanors & my car are homebuilt. Everything is is "pro" stuff. I feel pretty honored to be included in THAT group!

No "Trouble" anywhere in sight... :scratch:

 

Very nice Bob!

(We need scans btw...)

 

You da man Bob :worship:

I know that they're not in that order of preference either.

 

That's sweet. Now I gotta go pick one up.

 

Maybe Trouble missed the photo shoot due to a gas tank problem.

 

GT Clone, that is one nice looking car you have. I get that mag, and recognized it as yours from reading your posts on the boards!

 

Here's an album with scans of the entire article. You SHOULD be able to click on the thumbnail to bring up a medium resolution image, then click on THAT image to get full-size & readable...

Here's the 1/2 page with my car:

 

You go, Bob! Woo-Woo-Woo!

 

I wish i could find a magazine that isn't full of it, and would spell things out..I don't have a machine shop in my garage, heck i don't even have a garage!!!!

 

I think she was taking pics of something...like her trunk screws, kick panels or door handles.

 

Was this the February issue or something? The last one I got in the mail had 40 years of Shelby on it I think? :scratch:

 

Yep, it's February 2005. The Ring Brothers' red 'vert is on the cover with a "Cutting Edge" title.

Yeah, it was in my mail box waiting last night, thanks. TYour car looks great, congrats man. At a glance it looks so stock Shelby that I'm not even sure I'd consider it modified. What is the definition for classes anyway? Do you show it as modified?

I have always wondered how much change it takes for that. My car for example while mostly stock does sport items not normally on a vert yet are 69' specific. I have never taken it to more than a show and shine so it's been an open class type of thing so I don't have a clue what criteria's are needed to classify the cars.

OH, speaking of the Ring brothers, does anyone have a link to a website for their cars? I noticed in the article that the fastback is listed as "gunmetal" but the photo doesn't show it too clear and it may be just the color I am looking for. I want to find out who/what it is but I haven't been able to find a single thing online yet.
