2010 TS mustang in the works

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.

That is a work of art! More engine details possibly?

Sure, it's Tony Bischoff's motor he ran in his cougar in ADRL (someone else bought the cougar and they needed a bigger power plant to compete) with 2 less stages of nitrous and a slightly smaller cam. It's a 645 inch, C&C motorsports block, thor gen 1 heads, 2 pro systems dominators, Comp Cam, star vaccum pump, barnes oil pump, etc. 3 stages of speed tech nitrous.
Bischoff builds a heck of a motor and he is also a super nice guy.

The engine dynoed 1295 HP @ 7400 and 960 lb-ft or torque @ 5600

I thought it looked familiar, same engine he had in the NMRA when we ran Pro 5.0. That is a stout piece. Thanks for sharing.

That car is AWSOME ! Look out Div 2. Lots of Luck

PS are you going to change your name now that you changed up the car ? LOL !

Thanks guys,

The last of the stuff that needs mounted to the chassis is here. There is one more relay for the nitrous system, the fuel log, and the rear exit cable shifter(the one in the pics is front exit and won't work). The convertor showed up from neil chance too. we are really coming to the home stretch here. We are taking this stuff up to the chassis shop thursday and they will hopefully be ready to send it to powder coat by early next week.

I don't know if i've mentioned that it's being built at advanced chassis, but if i haven't i should have. they have been great. top notch work and very friendly and easy to deal with. www.advancedchassisusa.net they are located in north west ohio.

Well, it's getting closer, i think we are still about a week away from powder coat at least. they have to re-work the motor plate a little bit, a couple little brackets to do, the fire and nitrous bottle mounts, and they have alot of welding to do once the body comes back off. the interior looks to be about 70 % done or so.

And here is what everyone is actually waiting for

Very nice!

Sharp piece indeed. Did you decide on a color or paint scheme yet ?

The current plan is to paint it factory 2010 GT500 colors. it'll be dark blue with dark silver stripes. I don't know the names of the colors or anything though. there may be some ghost flames or something thrown in, but we want to keep it fairly simple.

cool.

Very nice looking ride Tony Bischoff ran in the 6.40's or 6.50's with that engine didn't he?The dark blue color on the 2010 Mustangs and Shelbys is Kona Blue the stripes could be either Sterling Grey or Brilliant Silver.

Later Mark.

i know that he ran some 6.50's with it and i think he got into the 6.40s, but i'm not sure. we are going to be running alot less nitrous through it though. i'll be very excited if it goes 7.20s on motor and if we can get it down the track without hurting anything on the nitrous i'll be very excited.

Cool keep us posted how it runs at the track when you get it finished.

Later Mark.

You guys are flying with the build. Feel free to stop by my garage and knock out some work on mine if you like!

Can't wait to see it all finished. Should look sharp in the blue with stripes. Think it'll be ready in time for the Bash? If so, you going to bring it out there?
