1966 Ford Mustang Convertible Rotisserie Restored Restomod This car has the superior handling, power, comfort, and reliability of a new car in a meticulously restored vintage 1966 Mustang Convertible body.

Underside reinforced with subframe connectors, center floor brace/driveshaft loop, and custom semi-hidden front cage structure making an incredibly stiff structure while providing for a smooth ride. Rear wheel wells mini tubbed with 2" wider inner wheel houses. Rear rails narrowed and reinforced for extra wide rear tire clearance and convertible inner structure has been modified keeping stock appearance. While on rotisserie underside was refinished to original 1966 Mustang specs; red oxide floor, satin black engine compartment. Exterior received extensive fitting of new Dynacorn panels to achieve excellent gaps and fit. 1967 Shelby style fiberglass hood, GT 350R valance, Shelby side scoops, and GT rear valance were added.

Finished paint has been wet block sanded flat prior to buffing and polishing to a mirror shine. BASF Glasurit products were used throughout including high solids clear.
