What welding projects are you working on? Are you proud of something you built?
How about posting some pics so other welders can get some ideas?

Nice. What does it have in it? No mustang here, but I have a 70 Bronco Sport with a 4 spd that's quicker than it probably ought to be. It's what actually got me to go to welding school.

Thanks. Its my first big car project so its moving a little slow. Right now the engine is in it for mock up. I need to build some headers and set up the fuel system. The headers Im making will come out forward of the engine and exit on both sides of the front bumper by the ground effect.

LOL, Werkspace,

The first lesson I learned was not to build more "go" than "stop"!

It was a gt so it has the bigger brakes in front and the drum brake technology in the rear accually works better than the aftermarket drag brakes. I may also have a chute if the car goes 140 mph range. The track Ill be test ing at has a long shut down area for issues lol.

The fox body is my favorite of the new era mustangs. Always have liked those. You are doing a nice job on that one for sure.
