fastbagged68 · 11-21-2005, 12:59 PM

Well it is almost ready to drive. I have smoothed out the firewall, installed the motor/tranny. I am going to finish up the wheel wells in the next 2 weeks.

fastbagged68 · 11-21-2005, 01:03 PM

One more!

llegos · 11-21-2005, 01:07 PM

very nice, where did you get all the parts for this?

fastbagged68 · 11-21-2005, 01:12 PM

which parts....

Frizzle Fry · 11-21-2005, 01:32 PM

So very nice! What did you use for the side molding below the windows? I don't think I've seen it on those.

llegos · 11-21-2005, 01:39 PM

what did you use on the front suspension. looks like you have an aftermarked IFS setup, but i cant tell. also, what part of the trivalley are you from?

fastbagged68 · 11-21-2005, 02:03 PM

The side molding is stock.
Llegos, the front end is a Stock peice with Bill Turner Control arms. I have built a few of these crossmembers up with tubular control arms. We might make a bolt on mustang II one, and sell them @ car shows, special order type. I use to live in San Ramon, but now I live in Brentwood. I work in dublin.

llegos · 11-21-2005, 02:58 PM

o thats cool. Im just wondering cuz i hope to have bags in the mix once i get some more cash. and then out back you have a 4 link I assume?

fastbagged68 · 11-21-2005, 03:16 PM

No 4 link in the back...I wish I did though. I got the factory 2 link with a custom made wishbone. The next truck will have some sort of 4link-canti setup.

Joe67 · 11-21-2005, 03:17 PM

Holy Smokes!!! Nice work

Frizzle Fry · 11-21-2005, 05:11 PM

I didn't even catch the rack and pinion! Wow!

**Hart_Rod** · 11-21-2005, 06:35 PM

fastbagged68 · 11-21-2005, 07:21 PM

Sweeeeeeeeeeeet!!

DM310 · 11-22-2005, 06:19 PM

What are you using for hood hinges?

fastbagged68 · 11-22-2005, 06:20 PM

Stock.....reworked alot. Hood doesnt lift as much as stock.

DM310 · 11-23-2005, 05:56 PM

any pics?

**N2TRUX** · 11-24-2005, 02:22 AM

Dude that thing lays out sweet. Keep us posted on your progress...

L0WRIDE · 11-27-2005, 05:20 AM

Hey fastbagged do you have any pics of your hinges .????
thanx, Chris

swissfacade · 11-27-2005, 12:25 PM

What rack and pinion set up did you use?

First things first, That is one sweet ride!

I have a 69 Suburban that I am starting to work on and I really would like R&P. I believe it would use the same width setup.

Thanks John D

hotrodhomi · 11-27-2005, 01:03 PM

I like the fact that you have inner fenders.

a squarecan · 11-27-2005, 01:05 PM

Very nice work!

I love those tubs! That is exactly what I plan to do! Only difference is that I am going to weld in filler plates for the recessed areas in the fenders them selves. Very nice work though!

Keith
