2010 TS mustang in the works

Well, as off november we sold the 86 t-bird and started on a 2010 Top Sportsman mustang. the Chassis is being done by Advanced Chassis in Antwerp, Oh we are now about 2 months into the build and i've got some free time to share pics. i'll try to group them from when they were taken.

These are from november just after they got the body in from rousch

I can't remember the date for the rest of the pics, but they are all from between november and now, HAHA.

I think these are from the End of december.

Then these were from second week in january, it was starting to look like something.

THese were from the middle of january too.

Then here are from yesterday.

Lookin' good, what's the engine gonna be, my buddy is getting ready to sell his Fulton 698 from his car.

Sweet!

Can I borrow it for a weekend when you are finished?

The motor is taken care of. it's a BES motor that they are freshining as we speak. hopefully it'll be ready to dynp by next week. it's a 645 with C&C alum block, Gen 1 thors, and stages in a sheet metal intake.

It probably won't be available to borrow until at least 2015, haha sorry

Here are a couple more pictures from yesterday that i found.

Very nice. One of these days that is the direction that I will take my program.

Keep us updated.

It's something i've wanted to do for a long time and my dad and i are able to do it together so we are going for it. they are planning to finish the doors today and they'll start the interior and tin work monday.

SWEET!!! I'm first on the list to 'borrow' your car

Seriously. Your new T/S car looks BAD ASS!! Congrats!

Beautiful work!

well, they are really going to town on the interior now.

Looks like it's going to be a beautiful piece! Can't wait to see it done.

Thanks we are really looking forward to seeing all you top sportsman guys once we get things sorted out. They had finished 3 other cars that were in the shop before ours and are out to their owners now, so they are going to have a couple guys working on the interior the next few weeks. we're hoping that means it'll be going to powder coat in two weeks or so.

I love the rear cage support bar layout from the top of the main hoop to the top of the tubs. Instead of the more common way of bending the bar in a loop over the top of the tubs, he cut/welded bars to make the same shape, but with steeper outward angles much like the way Tim McAmis does his chassis.

Very nice.

I've got Mustang envy . That's going to be a nice piece. The guy who built my car just finished up an 09' for a customer. I love the new body style.

who made the body?

He mentioned the body coming from Rousch.

That thing looks killer. I'm envious... There is a local guy who has a new 2010 built by Eastexas Racecars. It's a sweet piece!

The body is from ford racing and roush racing. it actually has a ford part number cast into the fiberglass. i'm pretty sure they are the only company licensed to build the 2010 mustang bodies. it's basically a pro stock body, but fiberglass rather than carbon fiber

thanks , just looked in the ford racing catalogand its there I have to fix a 97 I destroyed so probably upgrade to new style. Yours looks good!

Thats gonna be a killer Mustang. Looks like that shop has done a few. Nice lookin work

Thanks, we are really looking forward to getting it on the track. The engineis getting dynoed saturday so it's gettin closer.

Well, here are some updated pictures. the tin work is starting to go in. they said they are about 2 weeks from powder coat. so we should be racing by the end of may.

And these are from today.
