1966 Ford Mustang Convertible Rotisserie Restored Restomod
This car has the superior handling, power, comfort, and reliability of a new car in a meticulously restored
vintage 1966 Mustang Convertible body.
June 2017 completion of documented build including numerous subtle modifications and improvements while
outwardly staying true the original. Underside reinforced with subframe connectors, center floor brace/driveshaft
loop, and custom semi-hidden front cage structure making an incredibly stiff structure while providing for a smooth
ride. Rear wheel wells mini tubbed with 2" wider inner wheel houses. Rear rails narrowed and reinforced for extra
wide rear tire clearance and convertible inner structure has been modified keeping stock appearance. While on
rotisserie underside was refinished to original 1966 Mustang specs; red oxide floor, satin black engine
compartment.
Exterior received extensive fitting of new Dynacorn panels to achieve excellent gaps and fit. 1967 Shelby style
fiberglass hood, GT 350R valance, Shelby side scoops, and GT rear valance were added. Car was block sanded multiple
times before a modified original code "X" vintage burgundy paint was applied. Finished paint has been wet block
sanded flat prior to buffing and polishing to a mirror shine. BASF Glasurit products were used throughout including
high solids clear. All exterior trim, lights, handles, weatherstrips, and bumpers have been replaced with new
better quality or "concours" parts when available. Side mirrors have LED turn signal indicators. All glass has been
replaced; windshield is a Ford Carlite green tint/ blue shade, tinted vent assemblies, tinted door glass, and
tinted quarter glass assemblies. All new so no pits, scratches, or wear.

adjustable coilovers. Wilwood 12" brakes with drilled & slotted rotors were added along with sway bar and power
steering. Aluminum tandem master cylinder with adjustable proportioning valve and power brake booster have been
frenched into the smoothed firewall for engine clearance.

adjustable sway bar. A new Currie 9" with performance axle package, 3.50 gear ratio, and a True Trac (gear type)
