...machman's old mach...

[Foxman]

bad ass lookin mach would have been complete if it had subrame connectors.....

what kind of rims are those? i know fr500's but what did you do to get the chrome lip colored in?

I didnt put those rims on... I liked the factory mach wheels myself


the mach 1 came with factory sub frames smart guy!

the next mustang is in the process now... working on getting a F250 Ford with 460ci for my power plant and junking the rest of the truck...

never claimed i was smart my car didnt come with all the fancy schmancy stuff i had to buy it myself i was thinking they were the black chrome ones as well but im saying where did they get the lip filled?

The wheels were black chrome FR500's. The whole wheel is black chromed so the lip is like that when you buy them. I sold those wheels since though. I have the stockers back on now and they are powdercoated black. Looking for some AFS deep dish mach wheels for the rear, but they are ****ing hard to find!

Mach's come stock with subframe connectors, but they are just ****ty bolt in ones. I have full length welded in MM sub frames.

Last weekend I swapped the P1 out for a D1 headunit w/ 3.7 pulley. Also, this saturday I will be dropping the car off at AED and they are going to ship the trans out to ProMotion in FL to build it up with carbon syncros, 26 spline input, steel shift forks, the whole 9... I'm also having them reduce 6th gear to a 57% overdrive instead of the current 62% so I can cruise on the highway at lower rpms.

The car is still a Mach 1, considering it is a 4v DOHC motor, solid rear axle, shaker hood, interior IUP, and of course like foxman said, the vin. I would have prefered to keep the lighter aluminum block when swapping the motor, but I got the motor off a friend, so it's not like I built it myself.

My track runs were horrible because the rear end was going out and I was having tune problems due to fuel issues. I had a shop out in Tracy do the gear install and they botched it so bad that my whole car began shaking over 60mph. I have since had it redone by another shop, and found the fuel problem to just be a bad fuel filter. Everything has since been fixed and once I get my car back from the trans build, I will be heading to the track again.

Plates will be changing soon too, lol. I had "MOK WON", but DMV f'd it up and now they are saying I have to keep it the way it is or get something different, but I can't just get the plates I have now fixed... it's freaking stupid, but that is what they are telling me. So I am thinking of getting, "PSI FTW"

Wow..alot of money tied up in that beast. My Mach! is the daily driver..but the Cobra on the other hand..:fight:

It's cost me some money, but it will be a fast, reliable, street car... and I don't have to worry about it breaking at the track when I rip it down the quarter as hard as I can :rock:
