oldcarfan Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 Ken Block's 65 Mustang drift car might be a good inspiration. There are lots of detail pictures on the net. http://www.hotrod.com/articles/ken-blocks-gymkhana-seven-mustang/

426 pack Posted June 26, 2017 Author Posted June 26, 2017 Update the engine is a 572 HEMI with a parts box intake. I will try to build some turbos soon let me know what you think. Do you guys think I should cut the fenders or leave them? Any suggestions would be great as I am on the fence with the fenders comments welcome
Jantrix Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 If you are going to add fender flares, go ahead and open the wheel wells. If not, leave as is. Striping that old paint would be a great idea before you start.

Striping that old paint would be a great idea before you start. I would like to add fender flares but I don't know how to build them and what would I use for striping the paint as I would like to try it. All I have ever done is sand it down and primer it on previous models.Any help would be great thanks
MarvinGardens Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 Do Y'all have Easy-Off Oven Cleaner (Yellow Can) up your way? It's a pretty good paint stripper (depending on which type of paint's on there). Personally, Mopar B-Bodies don't look good with cut-up fender lips (Now, a widebody following the original body lines is a different story) and tacked-on flares. This is, however, just my opinion.
AUGIEDOGGIE Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 (edited) i find that purple dip (purple power degreaser) works great I haven't had any problems with it all Edited June 27, 2017 by AUGIEDOGGIE
