Hey, I thought I would finally introduce myself, I lurk here and post over at boss302 being I have a serious love affair with vintage trans-am mustangs. I also own my own business building engines as well as buying/selling vintage mustang parts. Well I am on the ugly side of a restoration, well more like taking my fixation with vintage trans am and turning my lowly m-code 69 sportsroof into a trans-am inspired pro-touring style car. But were at the point where the spot weld cutting never ends and today we got the quarters off finally, and now were starting with the floor pan removal.Currently we are designing a whole new suspension for the car and hope to have some pieces that we can produce by 2009. Here is the jist of the build:
