    Another really delayed post. I promise things are moving forward! I keep the VMF build page up to date on everything, and mainly try to focus this one more on the track oriented items.One thing I didn't consider posting here until I was talking to another member was the "cage" I made for the...

    It's been a minute, but I've been doing a bit of work out on the car! I now have my front brake situation decided. I'll be using Wilwood's Aero6 calipers and 14" 2 piece rotors to pair with the rear set up from Shaun. I went down a very complicated rabbit hole (self inflicted) as a side project...

    I definitely don't think I have the driving skills to rep those colors, maybe with many more years of practice!

    Cortex Front Suspension install:In a similar fashion to the rear suspension, I had started doing a lot of reading on front suspensions for my car. With the want to create a little more space in the engine bay by removing the stock sheet metal shock towers, I knew I would need to look into some...

    I am a little jealous! Although I did grow up around quite the array of cars, which I feel fortunate for. My dad instilled an appreciation for the older muscle cars from a young age, and that was definitely a driver for me to jump on this 69 for my own project.

    Street or Track Rear suspension install:As I had mentioned before, I had been almost entirely set on working with Shaun using Street or Track's Full Floating 9" rear set up with the 3 Link Watts Link set up. I spent a lot of time speaking with Shaun and planning my car before purchasing, but...

    Oh wow, that's awesome! I'm digging that color combo on there as well. Is that grill the same out of a 2010-11 mustang? Almost looks similar to my brothers from that time frame.

    I have been given a short, spirited ride along some rural roads in a car that had Shaun's front suspension set-up, and that was an impressive showing so I'm sure on track it's only amplified! Very cool you run your classic in ChampCar! I have a few friends that run that series as well.

    I started planning this car in 2016, right out of college. I had helped a very close friend of mine build his pretty potent track car (non mustang, but a really cool home built car giving some track super cars a run for their money in SCCA and Gridlife the past 6 years!), and decided it was time...
