Time for an update...
66 Mustang GT Fastback - All back together with lots of new miles - mildly built 289, subframe connectors, 4-wheel disc brakes, EPAS power steering, Classic Auto Air HVAC system, Global West front suspension, rack & pinion steering, Shelby/Traction Master under-rider traction bars, etc.
1970 Mach 1 Mustang - Current state. Rebuilt engine is currently in the Pantera while the Pantera engine was being rebuilt. Gotta swap them soon so I get the original numbers-matching engine back into the Pantera. I have a ton of NOS parts to rebuild the Mach 1
Modena CalSpyder - Factory built California Spyder replica (same cars used in Ferris Bueller's Day Off) built in 1991. It's a very high quality replica built on a custom tube chassis. These things have become collectible in their own right. They are very well engineered cars with a rigid multi tube spaceframe chassis designed by Indy car designer Bob Webb. And the GRP bodywork is strengthened by a steel cowl brace and steel door inners. They are not copies of a Ferrari California Spyder - not a single mold was taken off of a Ferrari. The Modena CalSpyder is an original design with styling influences and inspiration from period Ferrari, Maserati, and Alfa spyders.
Mine is currently a disassembled shell. I think the nose is too long - they match the Ferrari LWB wheelbase spec, but have the styling elements of the SWB California Spyders. I'm planning to shorten the wheelbase to match the SWB wheelbase dimensions, and modify the body to make the car a more correct looking replica. Power will come from a 5 liter (4,996 cc's to be precise) Toyota 1GZ-FE v12.
2002 Toyota Tacoma - Nothing special, but a great little workhorse. Just wish it had more power!
2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee - Daily driver. Very impressed with the power and performance.
2019 Mazda CX5 - Surprisingly capable in the snow! One of the best AWD systems on the market - beat Subaru in a side by side test on snow and ice in different situations.
