The Build Journey
Initial Assessment & Planning
The 1970 Mustang arrived as a solid roller with good bones but in need of complete restoration. We stripped it down to the bare shell, assessed the metalwork, and created a comprehensive build plan targeting a modern pro-touring setup while maintaining classic Mustang DNA.
Bodywork & Metal Fabrication
Complete media blasting revealed areas requiring metalwork. We fabricated new floor pans, repaired rust in the quarters, and reinforced the chassis mounting points. Every panel was hand-fitted to perfection before moving to paint prep.
Suspension & Drivetrain
The heart of any pro-touring build is the suspension. We installed a complete coilover front end with rack and pinion steering, plus a 4-link rear with Panhard rod. The 347 stroker was built for reliable street performance with modern EFI.
Paint & Finishing
The signature Grabber Green metallic was applied in multiple stages: epoxy primer, base color, pearl effect, and finally three coats of clear. Each stage was wet sanded and polished to achieve the deep, mirror-like finish you see today.
Final Assembly & Testing
With the paint cured, we carefully assembled all components, installed the custom interior, and performed extensive testing. Road testing ensured everything performed flawlessly before delivery to the owner.
