Build Thread Bird_dog0347's Frankenstang, holy crap it's a car again (for a minute)

[bird_dog0347]

If you want to put a Holley on it, I know someone who make a plug and play option

I'm gonna run the Holley on my notch with the 97 4V engine and supercharger, but this engine is almost completely stock and I love that.

It needs just a few small bits of carbon, anyone you'd recommend to make a high quality piece?

I put the first 30 miles on it today just shaking it down, I already bought new fluids and filters for it and will put it on jackstands tomorrow night after my son's basketball game to get started on that, try to fix the clutch cable routing, and see if I can pinpoint the power steering leak so I can get that stuff ordered. I was shocked at how well it rode even with the full Griggs suspension, there is certainly more NVH and road noise, but it's extremely well planted without being harsh at all!

Like he knows anybody do'n carbon work

Did someone say carboard effects? Ready to ship and use duct tape to secure to car.

For many years I have always thought for sure I'd go with Bright Atlantic Blue for the paint color, then a year or two ago I saw the Chevy color Riptide Blue and I was torn. I really wanted to see them side by side but finding a BAB Mustang isn't easy, then getting it next to a Vette or Camaro in that color is even harder. So I asked Kevin to spray samples of both, he sent me this text earlier and I don't even know which is which. He's gonna spray the samples but damn they are close!

Would have to see a spray out and the flop in the sun.

Man if my 98 Cobra was exactly the same but BAB I'd NEVER sell it.

 

[Mustang5L5]

BAB was always my favorite SN95 color.

those two colors look so close on my screen. Would need to see it sprayed and out in the sun

Exactly, even Kevin said in person they are very hard to tell the difference but that the BAB was slightly richer in the can. We will see once it's sprayed out.

Hmmmm. That can be arranged

 

[bird_dog0347]

Ummmm, no, I think I like how original this one is.

Hmmm…the colors look close to the Blue Jeans factory paint on my 2016 F-150!

Blue Jeans is darker at least the color on my truck is.

Of course I plan to enhance whichever color Nick picks.

 

[RaggedGT]

That truck needs some Carbon Fiber. If only you knew a guy
