Gas cap installed, functional side vents and a whole lot more!
Well it’s been a little while since I gave you all an update on how my old girl is going but that’s been because not much has been happening. But now I have some post worthy news.
Slowly but surely it’s coming together. The side brake cooling vents have been made to be functional as you can see below.
The gas cap has also been installed and looks great! You often see some cars that have the gas cap sitting out a bit off the panel, but this one is sunk in and flush, just the way i like it!
The gas cap has also been made functional with a custom made side filler tube that connects through the trunk to the fuel tank. This was custom made for my car by the guy handling the body work! It looks top notch.
The rear panel is also now mocked up, the fit isn’t the best but will be worked on in the coming weeks. We’re just trying to decide on the best way to affix the kit, what glues etc. But things are coming together fast.
The hood hinges have also now been installed and the bonnet is now on the car! She looks mean.
Stay tuned more info coming soon. I’m looking into a Tremec TKO500 transmission this week, so I could have some good news very soon.

Cam, have you completed the right hand drive ?
All looking great dig the gas cap, I agree that looks heaps slicker then sticking out.
Post as many photo’s as you can.
moving along nicely,

is the fuel filler pipe the final product? as i have seen a few that are more shaped into the fender and a lower profile turning down into the tank which allows for more truck space
Hey Justin,
Sorry for the late reply.
The RHD conversion hasn’t been done yet as my friends car is still taking a bit of time to be converted (his had a botch conversion a few years back that needs re-doing properly) So i think my conversion may be a few months. Especially since she’ll be at the body shop for a little while longer getting the kit fitted and various other things done.
Thanks for the comments 🙂 I’ll try take some more photos but it’s difficult getting them seeing as I’m 9hrs away from the car at the moment. But as things come together there will be loads of more photos coming, videos as well.. and finally when she comes home then there will be lots of things posted 🙂
Thanks for following the project.
Cheers
Cam
Hey Gerard,
Thanks for the comment mate.
OK, as for the filler pipe. This will be pretty much how the final product will look.
There are several problems with this pipe:
One: it is very difficult to bend the pipe at shape angles.
Two: we have designed the pipe to allow for the best flow of fuel into the tank.
The other pipes that we looked at had big problems with fuel not flowing correctly, even with a breather pipe installed. And with some of the low profile filler pipes, there would still be fuel left in the pipe after filling was complete.
The Engineer was not happy about that. The way we have done this pipe has been given the thumbs up by the engineer 🙂
Unfortunately not much trunk space will be saved by mucking around with the pipe. But at least the setup is simple and works.
Anyway, once we get a battery, spare wheel and the 10,000 Watt sound system in there, there will not be much room for anything hehe else 🙂
Cheers mate

great shot of the functional vents. i have heard that the induction noise of the forced air coming in would be fairly load when driving over 45mph will a product like dynamat help or will the scoop opening be reduced by the use of mesh
Cameron, I talk with your friend via email got in contact with him through ewr. Who did you get your car imported by, who arranged it all over there. CustomFastback gave one on ebay which look good considering the price 67’s are going for down here.
Any help would be great. feel free to email me
Justin
hi cameron
are you building this yourself or have it in a shop
Hey Waldo,
I have a friend in Victoria who restores mustangs in his spare time (what left of it he has hehe) So the car is currently with him. He has a range of people from body guys, conversion guys, paint guys and a whole heap of people who do bits and pieces for him.
I let him do his thing, i also order all the parts, hunt down the hard to find things and just make sure they have everything so they don’t have to stop nor wait for parts. Money permitting of course 🙂
Thanks for visiting mate.
Cheers
Cam

Hey Waldo,
I’m using the RRS ‘Light weight” system, they don’t sell this anymore but i think it’s equivalent to the Phase 1. I’m not going over kill nor can i afford it.
