I just added a Front Chin Spoiler, and I really like the look it gives me. Its the same one that comes on the new Mach One. More mods will be coming soon, but just give me time. Just click on the small pics to see the big ones.

  Well, the old 'Stang is gone, but not forgotten. It was sold to a Pete Guidry of Gonzales, who had the time and money to do the work I didn't feel like doing anymore. I just decided it was time to move on to something newer and more efficeint, especially if I had to use it as an everyday driver. I'm still proud of the work I did, and I miss the horsepower the old 'Stang produced, but I'm happy with my progress on my '88. I just thought It would be good to keep all the stuff I did on my '69.

I started it all off with a basic 1972 model 351 Cleveland High Output with the open chamber 4 barrel heads, and original Motorcraft 4 barrel carb and cast iron intake.  The motor was hooked to a C-6 automatic transmission, which I scrapped in favor of a top-loader 4 speed manual.  The engine was pretty strong to start off with (making over 240 horses-stock), but I wanted one that could easily compete with the 5.0 and the newer 4.6, so these are the changes I made:

           Induction System
           Intake-Edelbrock Performer
           Carburetor-Edelbrock Performer 600 cfm

       Cam and Timing System
    Camshaft- Ford Motorsport Hydraulic 292-302 duration
                                                                      .510-.536 lift
         Double roller timing chain (advanced 4 degrees)
         Heavy duty pushrods
       Crane Hydraulic lifters
        Crane Valvespirngs

         Ignition System
           Stock Ford electronic ignition distributor
         MSD Blaster 2 Coil

        Headman Headers
        2.5 inch true duals into Flowmaster dual chambers

Drive Train
          1968 Ford Toploader 4 speed
         Blowproof Bellhousing
        Ram Racing Clutch
         Stock Ford 8 inch rear end with 3.00 to 1 ratio

These are pictures of my Mustang. After about 2 months of steady bodywork, I finally got it painted in October of 1998. The paint was laid down by Timmy Bailey at Belle Rose Paint and Body. It came out better than I expected, and you can see the results in the following pictures. I included some "before" pictures to show just how far it went. Just click on the little pictures to see the full-size ones.

My 'Stang- looking kinda crappy and covered with sanded primer, bondo, and fiberglass, along with some bare metal.

A picture of my unpainted 'Stang from the front.

This is my unfinished 'Stang from the drivers side. I haven't even sanded this side yet.

Here is a side view of my newly painted car.

This is a front view of the finished product. Big difference!

This is my engine. It looks good now, and is running even better. I plan to run it at the track around the beginning of the summer.

Here is another side view...I'm very happy with it....hard work pays off, considering I did everything myself except spraying the paint!

New Project!!!

I've been working on my new 'Stang!. It is an '88 GT. It has the 5.0, still stock, 5 speed Tranny. Whew! It needed work, but wass a solid piece to start with. I changed the front cap and rear bumper, which were smashed,Rims and tires, and the front light lenses. The new pics show what I have now, but the first ones show how it looked when I started.(Click on the little ones to see the big ones)
Before I started!
