Sweet! I love DIB.

You might consider getting the FPRP bumper beam while you're at it: http://rehagenracingproducts.com/2005-2014-MUSTANG-LIGHTWEIGHT-TUBULAR-FRONT-BUMPER-M-17757-MB.htm

And if you are doing a 2013 rear, you can get the rear beam too: http://shop.watsonracing.com/Road-Race-Tubular-Rear-Bumper-for-Mustang-p/wr-rrrearbumper.htm

Well the rear is going to be 05-09 and Ill probably be making my own front sooner or latter

Was able to get the dash part of the harness finished and mounted it-



Threw a battery to it and powered up the dash-



Also was able to get the motor in, Now to start all the pluming for fuel,harness and rad lines-




Edit: for some reason Facebook wont let me Upload the pics, Will upload tomorrow

Quick question for you. If you are going to put on the 2013 body work how do the body lines match up from the front fenders to doors to quarters? I've never really looked at it but I didn't think the newer doors worked on the older body.

VERY cool build up! Thanks for bringing us along!

This is turning out to be an epic Mustang build.

Looking forward to seeing the suspension build.

Looks like you had a change of plans and opted for the CJ intake instead of the Boss. Nice 8)

They dont match perfect but close enough. One day I will make a set of fenders that will match perfect.

[ArizonaBOSS]

Excellent, congratulations! Sounds like it fired without any issue!

Same questions regarding intakes...

Eliminate variables for any start up issues, Also the Can tune in the PCM was for the stock Manifold so going to make sure everything is good with the car then throwing the CJ back on.

Haha I was the one that was recording the inside video and am the one who is building the car.
But what I was looking at why the dash wasnt registering RPM, but figured out it needed a firm ware update

Well Started the front end, Still working on gaps.

First try with the light on-


And Working on Gaps-

 

[ArizonaBOSS]

Hood to fender lines look perfect; is the front fascia caught on something? I know the 2013-4s have some additional underhood plastic up-top (compared to the 2005-2012) that might hold that upper grille closer to the hood.

Or I'm sure you guys could fab something up to duplicate the function.

Well after a couple weeks of school and life kicking my ass I was finally able to get some real time to work on it.
And it Drives!!!

Took it up and down the street with no lights, so longer drives will have to wait until morning.

The Frankenstein mustang!

Question about the torque arm.
Does the circled area below have a bolt through it? If so, did you have to drill the fins?

The Frankenstein mustang!

Or maybe just Frankenstang? ;D

OP- Great work! You're gonna confuse some people once the exterior is one color!!
