Default Rally Off Road Mustang Project.

Since I was too lazy to upload pictures to photobucket, I put them into a slide show and then to youtube. Not finished yet. It has a Truck Rear axle and knuckle mount thingy.....just watch the video.

Thanks. Anyone know anything about the motor parts as I mentioned in the video? I would really appreciate some answers to that question.

I don't know the answer to the motor question, but i hope you don't plan on running that on dirt roads. I ran my car on dirt once and only once. great drifting, but cleaning up inside between each gear tooth was a pain. It was pretty disgusting

Nah, I think I'll leave the body how it is. Also I have a secret way of keeping it protected some from dirt and also how to clean it. Plus I have compressed air so it'll be easier. I really mainly want it to be able to perform well where I visit upstate. Also on my street without flipping over every rock and bump in the street. Waiting for the glue to dry some more. I might re-paint it. But remember if I do, it'll be damaged from driving. This is not going to be one of my Shelf Xmods...Infact, I do not have any shelf queens. All of my XMODS have been driven and my hummer has been abused hard.

EDIT:
No the chassis is not done yet. I still need to lift the front some, the front clip, and maybe some 4WD

I actually got the idea from the thread, "Bondo's Best of the Best." On NS350's Firebird, if you look in the back. That's where I got my idea from. I am using 'X-tra long XMOD screws and Truck rear dogbones, truck front knuckle and spring mount thing(can't think of the name) and Truck rear axles, and truck tires, the rest of it is all car(for now). This is my first BIG project.

I already have 3 trucks. I wanted to do a project that will take time and will be challenging. Trucks have too high of a COG and plus I want to have fun with it.

I think I'll stick with the truck rear and front tires that I have on it now. I think that I'll just get the suspension kit so I can lift the front a little. Right now it has the drop one that my cousin gave me when I first got it last March.
