-------->2006 Mustang GT Transformed into 70' Mach 1 "Must see"<----------
Hello to all, I have posted this thread in the 05-08 mustang section here https://mustangforums.com/m_4516905/tm.htm but I thought some of you guys would love to see this project. I hope everyone enjoys and follows this project as we work through it.
"The Transformer Mustang"
~ A true Mach up ~
70' Mach 1 up to a 06 Mustang GT
I have restored many mustangs in my 37 years in the business mostly stock or mild customs. My customer whom I have restored many vehicles for wanted to restore this 1970 Mach 1 that he had purchased but did not want it to drive like a 1970 but to drive and handle like his current 2006. Including all the 06' amenities. There was really only was one answer to this, which would be grafting this Mach 1 to a 06' Gt platform.
Upon inspecting his newly purchased 70' project car, it was noted that it had been in at least 4 serious accidents, parted out, then left to rust and rust and rust..... It had been poorly sectioned in the front and poorly repaired in every accident; in general it was a total mess. The decision was then made to use just the body of the 70' (minus rear 1/4's , trunk, taillight panel, doors, left front fender, floor pan etc.), then to get as new and low miles of a mustang GT V8 as we could, to be the recipient for the Mach 1 body. Months of searching came up with a 2006 Mustang GT V8 5 speed with just 6000 miles. This vehicle was in a serious rolled-over accident damaging all body panels. A perfect donor for the
price.
Much had to be considered, first we wanted to use 100% of the 06' running gear, suspension, wiring, AC, Airbags, ABS, interior, etc. Second and most important we want to keep the look of the 70' body with a few minor changes.
Perfect. The transformation began. This is not for the faint of heart. Check out the pictures. We have video of this project and many more pictures available on our website.

Hello again, We have posted a few more pictures on the website and also added 2 more new video clips. Sorry these video clips are not edited but I hope they are informative and tell the story. http://nwautocreations.com/photos.html
We have finished the rear tail light panel and trimming of the rear end. Our next obstacle is fitting the fenders and 1/4 panels to the wheelbase of the car. This entails re-installing the motor, trans, and front suspension. We then will lower the car down to our desired ride height to get the final measurements at that point. Right now we don't know whether the width of wheel track will fit or the 1/4 panels maybe widened. This is where we are at today.
Any questions please ask?
I will try to update the pics and videos every other day as we progress.
