AJ's American Iron 99 Mustang road race build. Surge tank install

So a little background of what American Iron is. There is a 9.5:1 weight to power ratio so the engine doesn't have to be anything exotic which keeps costs down. everyone runs on a spec tire also. a 3000 pound car only needs to make 325 to the wheels which can be done for not that much. (im shooting for a race weight of 2800) Heres the site if you want to know more. http://www.americanironracing.com//

so being a mustang guy, I obviously am building a mustang. the cobra R stuff came with the car in the deal i made, which is good cause it is actually functional so i don't have to spend money on that. I have a saleen rear bumper and side skirts if anyone is interested PM me.

Not much going on now. Did the body kit cause i had them, and in the process of gutting the interior and scraping all that tar paper/sound deadener stuff off.




front bumper took a good amount of trimming to get to fit nice.




Im looking for 4 17x9 cobra rims, an FIA certified race seat, and a nice racing steering wheel. PM me if anyone has anything.

Lookin good AJ, all that Cobra R stuff will look great when it's painted, are you sticking with black? Why not get the R58 17x9 wheels that I have brand new, you can easily find them for $150 per and you'll know they haven't been abused. After seeing that cracked MM Konig wheel on Coral, I'm not screwing around with used wheels any more

some more custom fiberglass work on the hood. should help with heat, but more for underhood air pressure.





made the templates out of some thin sheet metal from a scrap hood. then covered with 2 layers of fiberglass mat. finally had to put money out on this project. up to 50 bucks for a can of self etching primer and all the fiberglass materials.

next up is a front splitter. already in the works but i'll just take pictures of it finished.

Subscribed...Its nice to see a mustang meant to go around corners. You can have so much fun with a mustang for relatively cheap compared to some cars.
