Fire & Ice
It has been a while since the completion of the SN65 project, so
it is about time that we start on another project. But...
Why build one when building two only costs twice as much.
:-)
Our current
goal is to build a matched set of first generation “Grand
Touring” or “Pro Touring” style Mustangs (whichever term tickles
your fancy). We currently call this project “Fire and Ice”.
Stang #1 “Fire”
will be a 65 coupe built with a drag racing theme. The car will
be painted with a specially formulated PPG paint that will give
the car the illusion of being fabricated of “Polished Copper”.

Sell Price: $148,000 (see the BOM for a detailed listing of
all components) Here is the current spec sheet for "Fire"
