Yesterday on the run to Clare I got 11.5 Litres/100k's..........my crewman doesn't get that:thumb:

It went great, drove really well on the old skool tires, at one stage whilst overtaking a 69 Mach1 I got to 70 mph & it was smooth. The ride was good.......i just loved the day out in the new car. This weekend can't come soon enough. Tri Y headers are going on this Friday. I am going to try to upload some video to Youtube, if I am succesfull I will link it here.

Awesome car Dale, I am building a gt350r clone where did you get the glove box ? did you buy it signed or get a sticker also the tacho which one / where and of course how much ?

Thanks your help is much appreciated I love the look of your though it is awesome the rego plates are cool too!

Dale, thanks for sharing with us your very passionate tribute build of the most desirable mustang. I for one have loved following the thread. To log in & watch what has been happening makes the whole process look very 'easy,' you had a very well planned operation. Well done mate, I would love to see your rent a racer in the flesh some day & gives us a nice reason to cruise across on a summers weekend. Might tie it in with a session at the grand in glenelg...Haven't done that since the footy trip days! All the best and happy frothies

Luke.

The Tacho ............I opted for the cheaper of the two & made it fit the original bracket without much effort. I got it I think from Tony D Branda Performance, who were great guys to deal with.

Great looking car Dale, most would say its better than new.

The paint certainly looks like a million bucks.

I look forward to seeing it in October you can cruise with me any time brother.

If your are over for that weekend in Melbourne I will show you around if you like.

The Mach 1 would have been in second gear, right ?

Car looks great Dale. Congrats !

Buying locally, employing local tradespeople to rejuvenate a Classic 'Stang to a whole new level, contributing to a international cause and even thanking his missus publicly.

It's Aussies like you that define the Ford Mustang Code and the Australian Way.

Dale,

Had to go back to page 7 to catch up on the progress. All I can say mate is

F@cking AWESOME

Trans-Am · « **Reply #221 on:** August 19, 2011, 09:43:58 am »

Hi 66 EMBERGLO COUPE,

I've posted a couple of comments throughout the stages and I must say congratulations to all that were involved in the build-up of your 'dream'.

One area of the car that looks absolutely awsome (including everything else...), you can't beat the look of the Firestone Wide Oval tyres on a Hertz Magnum 500 rim...Timeless!...

Cheers,

Trans-Am:cool:

THANKS GUYS.

........I have enjoyed sharing my build with everyone & would like to encourage others to do likewise. Its good to be able to share it from inception to the final result & get all sorts of great comments & encouragement along the way. Today see's my TRI Y headers being fitted, then I need to fit the new Disc Brake front end & it is finished............If the weather is good over the weekend I will try to video it running etc & chuck it on Youtube & link it here.

Never done the Youtube thing but I am sure it can't be to hard to figure out.

mwizz · « **Reply #223 on:** August 19, 2011, 09:52:13 pm »

If you can put that 66 Hertz together Dale, Youtube will not be a problem for you

66 Hertz · « **Reply #224 on:** August 21, 2011, 03:15:02 pm »

I took the car out today for a drive & shot this for you all................
