Our go-to tech guy Joe Fournier built this FFR
Roadster. Painted in a '68 Mustang Acapulco blue, Joe put in a '66 410
Mercury FE (390 block with a 428 crank), and the Tremec 3550
transmission. He used 15" Trigo pin drive wheels with 2001 GT 11" brakes
in the front and 97 T-Bird brakes in the rear. He also powder coated the
brakes which were supplied by Disc Brakes 'R' Us. Joe has pin drive
suspension in both the front and rear along with 600 lb. springs. Joe
did a few personal touches to his Roadster by modifying the rear fender
flanges, installing dash support tubes, and is using a hydraulic clutch.
And here is a neat factoid about Joe's car - it is a Mark II frame with
a Mark III body.
Joe finished his car in time to bring it to this
year's World of Wheels in Boston, MA where he won 2nd place in the
hand-built sports car category. |
