[Anonymous]

i bought a frame and body off of a buddy back in july last year ..he mocked up the suspention and put in the steering and the'79 200 six engine and tranny...he brought it to me in october...i been tinkering on it since here and there ...i drove it outta my garage under its own power yesterday for the first time,,,it starts on the first try evertime and the wiring and brakes work mint!!!im stoked to say the least

man, that thing's awesome
anything done to the engine? any modifications you're gonna do?

and is that a grenade for the shifter?

drool..... bias plys....

you def need a edelbrock setup on that.

were you that guy over on hamb asking around about 200 info?

 

[MustangSix]

That is SOOO cool! 8)

How does it drive?

 

[barishiman]

the shifter knob really makes the car!

btw a neat idea I saw in the shelby cobra re-releases was that they run a pair of 6v optimas behind the seats. this allows a battery half as thick to stick there. Wired in series gives a 12v battery. granted it costs a little bit more. also there was a post on hamb where a optima was placed inverted inside the dashboard of a roadster.

yup that was me ..so tell me more about this edelbrock set up????
also i was going to run [2] motorcycle batteries in series..i have a killer WWII amo box thats the same color and was going to put the batteries in that..but this batterie was free,,so was the tiedown for it
MUSTANGSIX... it rides like a wheelbarrow.. :roll:

Awesome

But as much as I love the look, where I'm from it wouldn't last as even a trailer queen.

Still looks good and I'm jealous.

edelbrock made a progressive tripower setup for the sixes along with a matching finned valvecover. but they are near impossible to find and fetch $$$

but offy still make a similar intake for about $200
and clifford performance makes a valvecover

 

[LaGrasta]

You have got to do something outrageous with the exhaust. Six pipes in a row looks so cool. Be creative...

 

[hasa68mustang]

That is cool.....

MUSTANGSIX... it rides like a wheelbarrow.. :roll:

rough and bouces all over the place? sounds like my freinds old flatfender!

so where are the burnout pics?

 

[hotrodbob]

The intake is easy to get and still available new. The alloy VC is gold if ya can find one. Chrome VC are available no problem.

My kid is going nutz about your car. He is doing a '28-9 roadster. His target is to get it up and running for Hot August nights in Reno.
