Ford Mustang fighter turned, salute during the war assistance through our air Broncos

Pony Car in the country, will be relatively rare, after all, is the representative of the United States Department of cars, or to be on their soil best suited to shine. Today, look at a Ford Mustang, Pony Car’s pedigree, the American car culture in one of the most legendary cars.

but most impressed me, it was this one modification. According to reports, the owner of Thomas, changed like this, in fact, is a tribute to the origin of the name Mustang –P-51 Mustang fighter. The fighter is one of the US Army Air Corps during World War II’s most famous fighter, but more importantly, when this fighter who helped us defeat the invading Japanese army, and also participated in the founding ceremony.

chief designer of the year John Najjar because fighters like this, so put the cars named Mustang. Today, our good friend Thomas driving a Mustang, it will be converted into a full tribute to the year fighter look, even the license plate is P51, is also a manifestation of the roots.

from the intake port, the aero mirrors and tail red stroke, every detail of the complex prototyping engraved fighter. Even the body color matte, caught the edge of the sheet metal rivets, downed logo, just right to restore all the elements of classic fighter, this Mustang with rich historical and cultural sense, and restore a sense of hierarchy. But speaking, Thomas with this Mustang is still a very interesting story.

“Why do you like Mustang? That had to start from my childhood, was put on TV in the BBC” top gear “, they introduce GT500 , saying all kinds of good, since it left a mark in my heart. white body, blue garland, with Cobra Cobra, still alive at the time of the last generation, Mr. Shelby GT500, then I’ve always liked the Mustang. “[123 ]

“At that time it was in December 2015, GT350 increase too much, increase the money can buy a regular GT up. but I do not want to go with me to buy a car to buy such a large displacement, I have to look eb V6, so I looked tuner Roush-built V6 version. but go to the store that a sales took me to see a very new second-hand GT, asked me not to open it. I was very scared because just finished driver’s license, get a driver’s license that was my second day. “

“sales took my foot on the gas to go to 100mph, then thought on this car, but when the opening is to learn to drive Prius This Mustang GT so fast, I could not even 4S shop did not open the door to go out, very scared, and finally my friend’s dad helped me drive it home. “

“to buy a home began retrofitted, first posted a garland, you want that old muscle car feel. then, to the kind of old muscle cars sound, changed again to the middle of the exhaust pipe H, and then also ordered a full aero package, but life went until the first exhibition. only to find his car too common. “


“it was a wide-body Mustang saw particularly good-looking, I thought there must be wide-body. then a friend With the help I getThe first set of wide-body life, after installation but found wide-body color and not on the body. I would simply find P-51 Mustang fighter, and devised this color in the game, and then I redesigned aero package. “

“but no hub, on a makeshift bought a BBS, plus a large flange. The results open too fast shaking, is not the answer. Later in the help of friends to get sponsorship hub, on the set of a junior piece of DPE. “

” later found hub too wide, and run no faster before, so I would like to add a supercharger. Because it is really P-51 Mustang fighter is more than 1,000 horsepower, so I want to have 1000. Then the installation process, I was sponsored by modification shop. During this time I shop dragged too long, but also gave me a roll cage. “

so the result is that when this powertrain add 93 # gasoline, may have 815hp horsepower , and after the addition e85 it, we can achieve a terror 1004hp horsepower.

in order to withstand so much horsepower, Thomas choose to put Axle Ford Performance for his car, this axle can withstand 1600hp horsepower, quite alarming data.

“the power to change almost the same, I found a sign on the side of the brakeSponsorship, six-piston brakes installed after the first eight of a R1 Concepts. “

” and then the car is also improved much almost, finally took the prize. The most memorable is a night Bahrain cutter teeth shock Godspeed sponsorship, winning the prize the next day; and once overnight Bahrain R1 Concepts sponsored brakes, also took the prize the next day. “

[ 123] in fact, the entire conversion process look down, you will find Thomas still got to find many sponsorship. in this regard he also said that the entire process basically did not spend much money, because many are sponsored, but basically it-yourself installation. “If all the original price calculation, then, to more than fifty thousand dollars, not including the United States frighteningly expensive labor costs. “

” is the hub wasted little money, so before making widebody we must be ready to change the hub of money and ideas. The other, I was not gone through what detours, but also very supportive parents, the most important is modified pieces or do not buy, or just bought a little. Go online to see a lot of evaluation before every time you buy, you will not regret it. “

” the overall effect can be, that is, the rear hybrid Hybrid Logo, the wherever they are very confused. I explain to others that this supercharged sound like a motor, very interesting, so I posted this Logo. I have to say, keep them coming back is still very high. “

Thomas on his car very satisfied, I must go where there are problems, it turned out to be money boughtTires. “Before the tire is the hub of sponsors to help with the now much horsepower, but to open up a lot of fun, are trying to open each time how to overcome their own.”

[ 123]

“in the past this car is a scooter, now only time exhibitors to open out, usually do not how to open because the side of the road too broken, the car is too low, can only be re buy a scooter, so until now opened sixteen thousand miles (about twenty-five thousand kilometers) every time the road is always someone to take pictures, keep returning too high. “

[ 123]

go to school everyday

we may wonder, Thomas usual scooter is what it? The answer is as follows, before a 2JZ ge Lexus factory did not bring the turbine IS 300. Originally intended to be a turbine car is too old, to strengthen a lot of things, so give sold. Later for a more comfortable, widening the body member more convenient modification of eight van, Mercedes metris.

In fact, Thomas has made its own garage, where often help a friend install wide-body. “Before the garage there is a lift, then they were reported torn down, now waiting for the arrival of the new lift.”

friends of car

“play car so I learned a lot, met a lot of cars out friends, there are a few good sponsors now want to gather together six generations of Mustang different, there are already 96 Cobra 4.6,79 Foxbody 5.0 there are 16 Mustang GT. “

[123 ]

believe that you have read here and small series, like me, lost in thought. Thomas full mouth did not spend much money, turned out to be like this … and this time, he was still busy converted a small car. What is the specific small cars do you guess?

differ from country to play cars, Thomas is more of their own design, installation yourself, participate the conversion process in the past, in order to gain more happiness. “We still take some modification, installation of video, called Ghetto Garage (poor garage), interested friends can look at science and the Internet.”
