Progress Thread "Rising from Ashes 9" 04 Mach 1 build

[95steedamustang]

Of all the cars I've had... this Mach 1 has been one of my favorites. I bought it completely stock with only a couple thousand miles out of a small town outside of Buffalo NY.
I never thought I would take this car far enough for a build thread but like everything, things snowball. I've shown some pics of it in some of my other threads but I'll post them all this one. I'll start with pics from the seller all the way in New York.

Picked up the car in Bliss NY, then went to Lake Geneva NY for boat races with a buddy.

Somewhere near Carlilse PA

TN VA Line

Thanks, I’ve loved those cars since they came out. Loved the shaker hood setup too

I almost bought a blue Mach waayyy back when, but the wife was not having the $550 a month payment I would have had. Woulda been car poor for a few years back in that time of my life. Would be cool to have now though.

That’s what I wanted when I graduated college. Azure blue 5-spd. Couldn’t swing it though so had to “settle” for my 2003 GT

was $32k or thereabouts, which is $46k in today’s money.

Those that know me...know I never leave well enough alone. Time to start building the car

where on this planet do you find the time and resources to build/paint this many project cars at the same time?

Moved over to the modular forum.

I just make it happen. Hire and pay good and have great guys running/working my shops now and I work on what I want to.

Brakes and MM coil over time for the Mach 1

 

[95steedamustang]

back on the ground. No more 4x4 with small rear wheels.

 

[95steedamustang]

This being a Mach 1....we need an ole school grill emblem like the original mach would have.

 

[95steedamustang]

Next mod Cobra tail lights and some black on the trunklid

 

[95steedamustang]

Cnc cut a Mach 1 fuel door which is a really sought after piece for Machs and powdercoated it matte black to match the graphics. My daughter who has already claimed the car one day.

 

[95steedamustang]

Of course I have to do up some folding mirrors on all my 94-04 cars
