Welding Tips and Tricks

This is my project. Hopefully it will be done this summer.

A fox-body drag car?

Cool!

Yep. Should be fun. I'm gonna run it in open comp and true street classes.

Hey,

I been checking out Hot Rod magazines youtube vids,An event called drag week they have some cool cars like this, And some welding too. lol

Yes. I love welding and fabricating. I'm tig welding the roll cage and MIG welding everything else. I also love engines and transmisions.

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.

It has a 347 stroker 14 to 1 compression about 650 hp or so.

Broncos are fun. There is a place called jeffs bronco grave yard by where I work. He has every bronco part there is I think.

Oh wow. 650 hp ought to lite that thing right up. Nice looking scheme under the hood to boot.

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.

How are the brakes?

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.

Thanks! I'm probably going to paint it hot rod flat black.

NICE LOOKING MUSTANG

looks good
