Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords promised me the cover shot and a full article. We spent the last couple weeks getting the car ready. They came yesterday for the photo shoot. They took some really sick pictures of the car. They made me do a burn out for an action photo, it came out pretty bad ass! It was sunset and the car looked mean. They will most likely use that picture for the cover. I didn't think to take any pictures while they were here doing the shoot but here's some I've taken lately.
Baer 14" two piece rotors. 
The new AFCO struts are super bad ass. 
AFCO 14" 275lb Chrome springs. 
AFCO Billet Compression Adjustment knob. Very easy access. 
Maximum Motorsports A-arms. 
Maximum Motorsport caster/camber plate. AFCO Billet Rebound Adjustment knob. 
Bad ass NP3 coated Roush/Alcon calibers. 
17" Champion bead locks. M&H 325/45 R17 drag radials. 
New custom Power Master alternator. Installed minutes before the photo shoot. 
Hood latch delete panel made at 5am by yours truly. 
Interior shots. 
Mufflers are done but haven't installed them yet. 
Made me put this tag on my car for the photo shoot.

Next on the list is installing my Kook's 3" stainless steel X pipe, new aluminum mufflers, exhaust crank case evac setup (eliminate breather tanks), 160lb Precision fuel injectors, and an e85 dyno tune. Then back to the track, hopefully to make some 8 second passes. |

Damn that's a good idea too. Seen guys using blue masking tape but that's real gay. :-) Can't remember who makes it (maybe VHT), but there's a spray-on "clear bra" type product out there. You can peel it right off whenever you want. Think there may even be colors too. I actually have some of that stuff, it's really super messy. I never had luck with it, the rubber just smears every where. It's called burn out guard I believe. Check out this stuff: 
I've used PlastiDip in black before to "chrome delete" badges and decals on vehicles with good results. You could tape off and spray the quarter panel with the clear, hit the track, peel and repeat. It's inexpensive and Walmart's 1 hour north of you have it in stock all the time... And nice Mustang too! Your attention to detail in your vehicle and products is amazing! |

Just gotta install everything now. :-)
I even Cerakoted the valves black too. Finish chipped a little when I tightened them on. I took a tiny brush and touched up those little flaws. You can't even tell now. The Black Velvet Cerakote is really easy to work with.

I drew up these QD hanger brackets on paper and had them water jet cut from .650" thick 6061-T6 aluminum plate. The QD pins are 1/4" diameter. The lanyard will attach to the bracket itself. The bushing is water jet cut from 3/8" thick steel plate. I'll be tig welding a 3/8" diameter 90* hanger rod onto the bushing. That way it will still use a rubber isolator up at the chassis and it will be QD at the muffler. I still have to drill the brackets for the QD cross pins and the cross bolts for clamping the bracket to the muffler body. Then I'll smooth everything out real nice, bead blast them, and then coat them. I'll probably have them coated with Matte Nickel and use stainless hardware. Should be pretty trick.

How The Hell Is That Beast Street Legal ???? Thing purrs like a kitten, I've been daily driving it for a little over a year now, gets 24.62 MPG, has all factory accessories plus added luxuries not found in a Mustang, and it seats 5! I absolutely love it. Took me a long time getting it where it is today but man it was so worth it! ETA: There is no emissions in Florida so I'm good there. It's quieter than a Stock Mustang GT! :-) |

Exhaust is finally done and on the car, it sounds amazing!!
It's a little more aggressive at idle. It's almost just as quiet driving down the road. And when your in the throttle it sounds super mean. I don't know how it ended up working out this way, but it was exactly what I was looking for!! The car is loving the new 3" exhaust, it's building boost faster, and overall the drive ability seems much better too. Only problem I ran into is the evac valves are sucking oil into the exhaust, I have to put oil seperators in line or come up with a better solution. More pics. :-)

Hey guys here's some updates on my custom Ford Racing edition SBR. There's still a couple more parts that I'm waiting on and I'm still tweaking it here and there until it's absolute perfection but for the most part it's finished and it shoots absolutely amazing by the way. It came in under 5lbs with an empty 30rd Pmag. It's 23.75" OAL and it handles and feels amazing, incredible balance. It also has virtually no recoil at all, it's so super smooth! I'm in love with this little guy.
I know earlier I mentioned Cerakoting the upper and lower receivers, the hand guard, and the buffer tube in bright white to match the cars paint, but at the last minute I decided against it. I wanna be able to shoot the hell out of this little guy and I don't feel like spending hours upon hours trying to clean up the white paint. So the rifle will be black with the grey anodized Titanium accents. I wish I could find that same color paint to color fill the milled engravings on the receivers, it would go with the other accents and make it look like some type of special anniversary rifle. Thought about doing an ejection port door with the 50th year anniversary Mustang engraving on it. Maybe ghosted into the surface. |

Stay tuned for pics of it 100% completed. In the near future I'll be fabricating a secret compartment inside the car to store the matching rifle. |

From the other thread:
And here is the Ford Racing Edition SBR that I've been working on. We will never offer anything Ford related but I wanted to build something special for myself. It's not quite finished yet, I'm still waiting on a few small parts and I need to have a few parts coated. But here it is all mocked up. The upper and lower receivers, SAR 3 hand guard, and buffer tube will be Cerakoted Gloss white (paint matched to the car). Then all the milled engraving will be color filled in Gloss black. The outside of the barrel and the Barking Spider will be Cerakoted in High Temp black Velvet. It's a hair over 23" OAL. I haven't weighed it yet but it's pretty damn light and handy. I'll be building a trick compartment inside the car to store the rifle. The lower receiver has the Ford Racing logo milled into it and the upper receiver has the cars VIN # milled into it. The bolt carrier is also laser engraved with the Ford Racing logo. The rifle has a lot of Titanium components and all of them have been hard anodized Grey. I'll be putting an Aimpoint T1 on the rifle and most likely a small light too. Here's the pics.
