Hey guys, I'm new here and I thought I'd share my stangs with you all! I registered after viewing part of the T-56 use on a 429/460 article, as this is what O plan to do with my future 557 build (for my coupe). So before I post pictures of the cars I should introduce myself. I am Calon, I have two stangs, an 85 Notch, and, 86 Hatch. I am an autobody apprentice here in Canada, and have done all the work on these cars myself.
I plan to make the 85 into a (mostly) strip car, with a blown 557 Stroker as the powerplant, the onlything holding me back, is lack of cash. I have the 460 block on a stand here in my garage, but it is still bare awaiting parts, as it might for quite awhile. I'll bore you guys with the details some other time though.
For now, I am working on my 86. It's body will be based upon the 69/70 Boss/Mach 1. It will be Grabber Orange exterior with satin black mouldings, window trim, (Capri RS) hood scoop, and rear window louvers. I will also be using SVO sail panels. It will be utilizing a stock GT Turbo (single) exhaust, which may be a hint to the engine to come. It will hopefully be rolling on 17x8 Magnum 500's or the newer style '03 Mach 1 Magnum 500's. Depending on which 5 lug swap parts I go with.
The powerplant will be a stock (for now) '86 Thunderbird Turbocoupe 2.3L Turbo engine, backed by a T5.
I have pulled the N/A 2.3 so I can start the bodywork, and will post pics of the progress for those interested. Anyways, here are some pictures for now.
