    Want to see people's model Mustang II's?

    You know after looking at the neat mods these guys are doing, I thought I would find a II kit to try some of my ideas out on, I found a trick old pro stock kit I am going to try and chop up next month. It sure is a cheap way to build a car LOL:D I have been wondering what the II car...

    Here are some pics of my dads car getting the body work done to it.

    Should look real nice when it's done. The way the front bumper is tucked in is neat, the rear looks that way too. How much does the car weigh rtr?

    where are all the customs?

    Well I still think stacks are cool today lol, I even bought a pair of mr gasket ones last summer lol. Snooping around on sites, looking for new ideas of what to do/redo on my cars, I find myself looking through stacks of my old dusty 70's-80's car mags again. It must be because of my age but I...

    Fender Flaring?

    I phoned MAS and ordered a set front+rear ($260 for all 4) for the mid 70's camaro/firebird (they should be like the black one above), they will ship monday with a new catalog. They said they have flares for the mustang II but I have an idea I want to try with the other ones. I would just give...

    Fender Flaring?

    There is another company (bodypart unlimited) that sells the monroe kit, they got pics of parts at the bottom of the page. The problem/or not with this type of wide body kit is that it is a bigger job to do VS a standard bubble flare. Simple bubble flares IMO tend to show off the tire more which...

    Fender Flaring?

    On that note... after 30+ years of being in the autobody trade, I have seen/heard my share of guys complaining about not wanting filler/bondo in in/on there cars which has always been a bit silly. Fact is that most of todays fillers are so good and the tech is so advanced you could make a car...

    Fender Flaring?

    Fender Flaring?

    It is a "scott injection" setup on the madmax car which used some decent sized wheel flares too. http://www.madmaxmovies.com/ I made my own version for my blower engine. I just remembered also that I have an old can-am / imsa style body flare kit for the mid 70's camaros/firebirds that...

    Installation of Maier fender flares

    Thanks for that, with custom cars I find that some people like to criticize the looks because it's not factory, even though the car was not built for them. It can be a challange to do body restyling and the fact is the world would be a boring place if we all liked the same thing:) . Here is...

    Fender Flaring?

    It can be done a few diffrent ways, using the original wheel well, section cutting it every 3-4 inches and reforming it by hammer/dolly and welding in gaps or using metal rod for a new lip, taping cardboard to it from body and glassing over it to make a scratch built flare. Some fender lips from...

    Fender Flaring?

    I have done a set of bubble flares in the past on a cobra II and others for 15x10 wheels, wish I would of took pics now lol. Clearance will not be a problem as long as they are done right (bubble and not like most van flares). I have flared many vehicles for big tires over the years. IMO...

    Installation of Maier fender flares

    How I open up the wheel well for glass is to cut open the out side of the quarter as needed, then take the inside wheel well and make cuts up it every 3-4 inches. Then I hammer, fold the flaps higher up and rebend them over the outside quarter triming them as needed. From there I either weld or...

    Installation of Maier fender flares

    hi guys, it's a 351C boss (got a new stroker crank to take it up to 393ci), if you guys think it looks modified now, I got new plans for it lol. The rear 15x10 wheels are to small for me now so I want to tubb it for 15x14 wheels and use the 15x10 wheels on the front, got more shelby body mods I...

    Installation of Maier fender flares

    Hi, I am not sure what the "(1.5in)" flare is but... set the flare where it needs to be and drill holes for mounting screws or rivets, I like to space the drill holes anywhere from 4-6-8 inches depending on the part. You then want to grind both the backside of the flare and the body with about a...

    looking for 69/70 shelby type parts

    Not yet, I have a complete spare mustang II front end I thought I would graft onto it when I redo it for better front suspension. Currently it uses 15x8 front and 15x10 rear wheels, also thought of tubbing the car for the new mickey thompson 29x18.00 and 26x10.00 S/R tires out now using 15x14...
