ITS Ford Mustang(s) Build - Stripper Stang Part II

[BullFish]

Ron,

Awesome to see the build, as I have been contemplating the same thing! I have successfully campaigned a '94 in AS since 2004. Feel free to email me at: asracer89 (at) sbcglobal.net I will do my best to point you in the right direction.

Yes build it . When done this season with my ITB mustang thats the one i was thinking of doing. It does give you so many options in what class too, also the after market and factory are filled with parts to use . Please keep us informed and also post some pics with it.

I've located a Mustang breaker about 40 miles from me in Henderson NC. All the guy does is buy Mustangs and part them, cheap. He's put aside an engine, transmission, rear end, suspension, brakes, and some other parts. Cost? Looking like $450. The tranny was just rebuilt and the engine still runs, no smoke. Turns out nobody much wants the 3.8L engines and 7.5" rear ends so you can get them on the cheap.

There's also a place in GA called Mustang Parts Salvage. I got some stuff from them dirt cheap. 770-867-2644.

If you need me to go by and check anything out Ron, just let me know. Live 5 miles away. You also have no excuse not to drop by the shop if you come to town. OOPs, just saw Henderson, Not hendersonville.

Lots of folks interested in seeing one built. Chris has his ITR version and it is pretty clear that it could be a contender. I think this ITS version has a shot too.

The amount of road racing knowledge out there regarding the chassis is pretty high. If you ask around at Maximum Motorsports and Kenny Brown you can talk directly to the guys who were doing the chassis setup back when the companies campaigned stangs in semi-pro efforts. Turechoice also has a fellow who's knowledgeable about making SN95s and Foxes work.

While a full tilt build won't be inexpensive, it will be less expensive than a BMW or Porsche ITS car.

I just laid a 100 yard one wheel burnout. You other ITS competitors scared yet?

When are you going to start stripping the stripper?
