Rich's Mrk III kit was bought in Oct 2006, and as he says, "I'm a slow builder". The car was built from a donor 1992 mustang. Those not familiar with the donor build that FFR uses, you buy a used Mustang and remove the engine, tranny, rear end, brakes, suspension, wiring harness and computer. Clean it all up and install it on the FFR frame. Easy, huh? Maybe not. The engine is a stock 5.0 with the exception of Trick Flow intake and BBK exhaust. Guess we'll find out how much power it has on dyno day eh Rich? The t-5 tranny is also stock feeding a 3 link rear with 3:55 gears using FFr's suspension arms. Manual steering and brakes, with rear disc's are used. Rich did the wire diet, and says "Which I'm proud to say didnt self ignite when I applied power!". He is using the donor switches for lights, turn and ignition. Rich had the car licensed in 2009 and drove it that summer in gel-coat. The car was painted in the fall and winter of 2009 using Wimbledon White, and Basque Red Pearl stripes.

Nice Ride Rich, now on to the rest of the pics.

Tim, thanks for the write-up. I knew you'd do a good job, and thanks Mark for putting my simple car in the calendar.

Hey Rich,
Is that a dark water custom rear view mirror mount?
There are no simple builds! :)
Looks great
Will you be running side mirrors?

The mount is just a piece of angle and a couple screws ground to fit in the top channel of the windshield, made it myself, easy to do. I dont have side mirror now, but if I can find some I like and can afford I would like to mount to the side frame of the windshield,
 
I really like how clean your dash is with all the hidden switches.
