Where did you get that steering wheel?

[kenfirch]

It's an old Les Leston. Same size and dish as 65 wheel. Original wheel hanging on my shop wall.

This was alot of fun. Are those rims off a Pantera? They make the car look extra-stealthy :)

[kenfirch]

Yep. Now running Torque Thrust II's, 7 x16 front, 8 x 16 rear. Pantera wheels in the attic for now.

shouldnt there be a tach built into the center of the dash pad if its a true shelby?

[kenfirch]

That was true for 1965, which had a tach and oil pressure gauge mounted in a dash pod in the center of the dash pad on the street cars. The 66 Mustangs already came with an oil pressure gauge, and Ford's bean counters came in and looked for ways to save time and money. So for 66 it was mounted as shown. Some 66 owners did retrofit their 66 with the 65 style since it did look cool and they probably wanted a mechanical oil gauge.

I really hate what you did to the video at 1:21

[kenfirch]

I think the sound went out on the video when you passed Warp 8! Love the ride!

Man, that small block is throwing that thing around like a rag doll. Nice work. (from New Zealand)

[Zallus04]

that right there...just put a smile on my face =)

@MrCleanPolo Exactly! I can`t understand, why some people buy themselfes racecars, even when it`s old, and drive it like a VW Polo. Drive it warm and kick it until die valves come out of your exhaust! Life is to short to take it easy!!

[MrCleanPolo]

Now that's how you drive a Mustang! I hate when guys baby their rides. Push that thing to it's limits!
