Talking my 1965 Mustang

Hello,

Let me present myself, I'm Kermit the Frog and I drive this old banger... which is my daily driver (that's when I'm not on my bicycle or in that stinky bus)

It's a 1965 Ford Mustang hardtop.
(you can see hundreds of pictures on my website, http://www.thefroginator.co.uk)
I also run a dedicated forum for classic Mustangs at http://www.classic-mustang.co.uk (I'm Kermit there) you are more than welcome to come and say hello.


Some say, your car is insane ... Which I tend to agree with them as it's powered by this 342 (that's 5.6L) V8 Ford:

(full build pictures at http://www.thefroginator.co.uk/index...uild/pictures/)

I have built this engine about 2 years ago, it's pushing 536Bhp/464 lb ft at the flywheel. But numbers are not important, it's all about the car itself .

The car has gone through a full restoration by myself (apart from the respray). But as you well know, those cars are always an "ongoing project"...
Up-coming engine upgrades are: Paxton supercharger (which is already there, in my bedroom...) and fuel injection (which I shall install in November).
Plus other things ....


Here's the latest video of it, I took a guy from work for a ride (I'm not sure if he has recovered yet...)





I currently work with someone who is a member of this forum, his name is Paul D.. (sorry mate, I don't know your nickname here).
I'll be going to the ACE with Paul next time with my car.
