Chassis:
The front chassis has been completely replaced with quality Ford GT parts, Edelbrock performer IAS gas shocks, new O.E. rear leaf springs
Wheels & Tires:
I had the original GT rally rimscustom widened to 8" in the rear and 6" in the front. Triple chrome plated. When on they sit perfectly inside the fender wells. The tires are B.F. Goodrich T/A radials. Fronts are P225 60R 14 and the rears are P245 60R 14
Body:
Custom work done by Doug @ Diversified Specialties in Torrance, CA. 310/782-6100. We replaced all the sheetmetal except for the roof, roof pillars, rear deck lid, and the left front fender. All sheet metal was stamped from original Ford tooling. There were too many rust pits that would have required future work so we went all out. All welds were spot welded numerous tmes to prevent warping then lead filled. Doug did a fantastic job!!
Interior:
The interior of this car has been completely replaced with the original Pony Interior Code 68 colors of Ivory Gold and White (Luxury). The dash was completely sanded down and re-painted. All chrome has been either re-chromed or replaced. The only things that are still original is the shifter and shift knob and the AM radio.

Wow check this out. This is the old motor I had when I used to race this car along the Strand (Hermosa Ave., CA.) in the 70's. Check out the old Excell coil! Just the original 289 4 barrel with the original Motorcraft carb or the 600CFI Holley (not sure). Hedman Headers, Crane camshaft and 411 rearend. Ya this thing smoked in the 1/4 mile as it sat back then.
