G

day Guys, Welcome to Australian Mustang and Ford Magazine. I certainly hope you enjoy what weve put together for you. I am excited to be involved in the first periodical title in Australia to focus on Mustangs and I look forward to a continued involvement in the local Ford scene. When a distinct gap appeared in the market early this year, many customers and long term associates were left wanting alternative Ford material. These sentiments were shared by many readers and so the title was born. Instead of producing another Ford magazine with an occasional Mustang feature car, I have decided to embrace the ever-evolving Mustang culture. Lets face it; they remain the dream ride for most Ford enthusiasts. Weve engaged the top photographers in Oz to bring you stunning images of the great Mustangs and Fords built by you guys. The creative input is a mix of familiar and new names, all of who will bring something unique to the pages you read. AMFM will be proudly printed in Australia, enabling us to provide the most up-to-date news and events from the Blue Oval world. It is with great pleasure that I introduce Rudi Baker as a regular contributor. Rudi owns a cool 66 Fastback Mustang and is the son of music historian and aficionado Glenn A. Baker. Youll get to see and read about his stang in Issue 2. Combining his Mustang passion with his genetically inspired interest in history, Rudi is going to dig around the archives to give us a unique insight into cars, culture, music and media. We will continue to forge a close working relationship with FPV to bring you all the latest from the factory range of performance Fords and we kick it off this issue with a candid interview When a distinct gap in the with Rod Barrett. I am also thrilled to announce that through their market appeared early support we are able to offer the opportunity for one lucky reader to this year, many customers win a hot lap in one of the FPR V8 Supercars. All you need to do is take and long term associates up a subscription to go into the draw. Speaking of late model muscle, I would also like to welcome and were left wanting more... introduce Craig Dean from Mustang Motorsport. Craig has extensive Mustang history and knowledge and will bring you all latest news on the Marque front as well as in depth features on late model Mustangs, both factory and modified. Lastly, I suppose I should introduce myself so you know whos steering this ship. My name is Nathan Wellington and like many of you, I was born with blue blood in my veins. At an early, impressionable age I was heavily influenced by the sight and sound of Allan Moffats 69 Trans Am Mustang and later, his awesome Falcon coupes racing around my local track at Amaroo Park in Sydney. When you have the opportunity to witness and remember something so spectacular, the visions stay with you forever and theyve instilled a passion that still burns deep. These early influences and passion first came to life in the early/mid-nineties when I built two of my favourite Fords an XB Coupe followed by the 67 Fastback Mustang. A few of you may remember the QIK 067 plated, Guards Red Mustang which was featured in a few magazines at the time, it ran a Hilborn injected Windsor in what may have been termed an early restomod. The gunmetal grey coupe was a little more sedate but still packed a decent punch with its 400hp 351 Cleveland. These days I am champing at the bit to unleash the Project QIK 429 build. Readers of AM FM will be able to follow the detailed build of this vehicle which I hope provides you with plenty of information and maybe some inspiration for your own ride. My inspiration for this build can be contributed solely to the influence of Allan Moffat and his Boss 302 Trans Am all those years ago! I look forward to watching the title grow to become an integral part of the local Mustang and Ford scene and I hope you can join us for the ride. Drop me a line or send through an email we want your feedback on producing the best mag possible. Until next Issue.

The ultimate influ

ence

Cheers, Nathan

he Mustang is like no other automotive marque in the world. It is loved by everyone, whether they follow Ford, Holden, Chev, Ferrari or whatever! Since the Mustangs birth in 1964, it has had an unprecedented following, and today the passion lives on. I have been involved with Mustangs since the 80s and, although Mustangs form the basis of our business, we do it because we love it. Our business has grown out of our passion, which means we love what we do, and we believe it shows in our work. Every Mustang we have an involvement with be it importing, converting, upgrading, modifying or servicing we treat as our own. Every Mustang deserves perfection at every level. We have a great understanding and appreciation of the passion that people have for their Mustang. At every display, show, concourse or motorsport event we attend, we are inundated by fanatical people who live and breathe Mustangs and so do we! We love meeting Mustang lovers, and look forward to bringing you some of the most interesting and exciting late model Mustangs and information in each issue.

FPV announces supercharged v8 engine program T

o be launched in early October, the new FPV GS and GT model ranges will both be powered by all-new lightweight 5.0 litre supercharged Ford V8 engines producing 315kW and 335kW of power respectively. Both engine configurations are more powerful, more fuel efficient and cleaner than any engines previously offered by FPV. Developed locally by Prodrive in a $40 million program, the new FPV engines are based on the Coyote Ford V8 first introduced in the American Ford Mustang at the beginning of this year. The new supercharged V8 engine program represents FPVs biggest-ever investment in the Australian market, and has been the most extensive and exhaustive development program weve ever undertaken, Prodrive Asia-Pacific Managing Director Bryan Mears said today. The outcome is phenomenal these engines are brilliantly responsive, their performance is sensational, and they will take our next generation of FPV models to a level thats simply unmatched by anyone else. FPVs first-ever supercharged engine, the new V8 is a sophisticated all-aluminium design with double overhead cams and 32 valves configuration, and is fully EuroIV compliant. Its lightweight and compact size the Coyote engine is 47kg lighter than the outgoing 5.4 litre Boss 315kW engine also offers packaging benefits which enhance the handling performance of FPVs new GS and GT ranges. The base of the new FPV V8 engine is imported from America in component form and each one is hand-assembled locally by FPV, utilising extensive Australianmade componentry. Its important to emphasise just how Australian these engines are, Bryan Mears said. Although the basis of the engine is imported, all the components utilised in the supercharged configuration are locally sourced, and the engines are completely hand-made by the team at FPV in Melbourne. Heart of the Australian engine specification is a Harrop Engineering-developed supercharger utilising Eaton TVS technology.

hand-made componentry to trial various configurations, until a final specification was locked in, utilising pre-production parts and then final production components. Engine power levels, torque curves and emission outputs were all refined throughout this process. One aspect of the program that was very important to us was the aural output of the engine it is at the heart of the FPV brand that the engine sounds right as well as means business, so we put enormous effort into that, Bryan Mears confirmed. Youre going to love the outcome! Finally, verification prototypes then embarked on an exhaustive 170,000 kilometre durability program around Australia, before the engineering program was signed off in July 2010.

SPECIFICATIONSFPV will offer customers two engine specifications when the new GS and GT ranges go on sale in October. The GS-spec engine produces 315kW of power at 5750 rpm and 545Nm of torque, from an incredible 2000 to 5500rpm! Official fuel consumption and emissions figures* for the 315kW engine are as follows: GS Manual Sedan 13.6 l/100km, 324 g/km CO2 GS Auto Sedan 13.7 l/100km, 325 g/km CO2 GS Manual - 14.0 l/100km, 333 g/km CO2 GS Auto Ute - 14.2l/100km, 335 g/km CO2 The GT-spec engine produces 335kW of power at 5750-6000 rpm and 570Nm of torque between 2200 & 5500rpm. Its official fuel consumption and emissions figures* are as follows: GT/GTP Manual Sedan -13.6 l/100km, 324 g/km CO2 GT/GTP/GTE Auto Sedan -13.7 l/100km, 325 g/km CO2 * Combined cycle; tested to ADR81/02

DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMFPV began its development of the new GS and GT engines in 2007, initially with a 5.4 litre XR8 mule engine fitted with a supercharger and custom manifolds. This was used for cooling system development and initial engine calibration strategy development before the first of three levels of prototypes were built around the 5.0 litre Coyote Mustang engine. Each of these prototypes advanced development of the engine, at first with10Australian Mustang and Ford Magazine

THE FPV FILESStory: AMFM, Pics: FPV

Ba.r.rGett Rod F P V MAM/FM: Why did you choose to include local suppliers for this development as opposed to importing fully developed and assembled versions? Rod B: The story is, this is not a crate engine, and we are at pains to point this out! We havent just imported an engine and fitted it into our chassis, it really is a componentry exercise using the basis of the Coyote engine. For all the hardware development that was required it was easier to work with local suppliers and we wanted it to be a locally made engine. The big part of the engine is with Harrop and who, together with Eaton, have packaged it up theyre about 15 minutes away from here. Weve used many local companies in the development and production stages, the obvious advantages include the efficiency of working in a common time zone, and supporting our local economy. Weve done it this way before with the 5.4 Litre engine program. I am proud to say this is an Australian assembled engine using 35 to 40% of locally produced parts. AM /FM : We heard at the engine release yesterday that there has been a huge investment by FPV of approx. $40 million in the Miami Project. This would appear to be a positive show of confidence in the support of future performance for FPV fans here. What do you see the return on investment timeline being? Rod B: We didnt do it because we know Falcon is going to stop and we didnt do it because we know Falcon is going to keep going. The cycle plan for the Falcon is out to 2014; after that we havent had discussions with Ford. We have faith in what we are about to build and release as being a highly successful car. We are geared up to produce as many as we can get orders for. It is an exciting time for FPV, its a huge investment for FPV. In the long term you dont build things to not get your money back and well do that in the time weve allocated for. AM/FM : The obvious historical similarities of the Original GT vs GSs pricing / equipment specs and recent collectability would seem to reflect a readymade reputation and acceptance of FPVs marketing of the new GS models. Can you tell us a little on how this new model came to be part of the FPV line-up? Rod B: We originally produced 250 sedans and 75 utes all of which were wholesaled to dealers within a couple of weeks. The idea was to have a look at a low cost entry level FPV and provide a car as an introduction to what we were going to do this year and see how it went. We took the retro Ford name from the late 60s /70s and used the same logo redesigned into 2009 graphically, name wise and what it represented was exactly the same as what it represented back in 1969. It was a GS, you could buy a base car and add bits to it as you liked. It was a great success and thats important to what we were about to do this year in giving people an entry level FPV priced in the mid $50s. AM/FM : Weve just been privy to the awesome supercharged Coyote engine packages to be unleashed, surely with the world wide acclaim of the current Shelby Super Snake Mustangs performance the time is right for the development of an FVP GTHO? Rod B: I would love to be part of the team that brings a new FPV GTHO into fruition, youre absolutely right, with this new engine package we have every chance now to do that its whether we will, and its whether the board wants to go ahead ROD BARRETT FPV G.M. INTERVIEW 30th AUG 2010. AM/FM: Will all V8 based FPV models run the supercharged versions of the Coyote or will there be normally aspirated versions? Rod B: All will be supercharged. What was the timeline in developing the new Coyote engineering packages? Rod B: In 2007 FPV considered many engines put forward under the Ford family, including U.S based and Jaguar at the time but chose to develop a package derived from the 5.0 litre Coyote. The problem with the normally aspirated Coyote package was that it only produced a little over 300 kW and that wasnt enough we were already at 315. The engine was a great base, all alloy V8, double overhead cam, variable cam timing, all good - but it didnt have enough herbs! So they set about looking at forced induction the supercharger route was chosen due to engineering advantages over turbos, and, as we all know the supercharger produces boost without lag.

with it, whether management wants to go ahead with it. I would always niggle that we should do that car. In recent times though, you think do you let sleeping dogs lay, do you let that car (pointing to the framed GTHO XY PH3 Vermillion Fire hanging in his office) rest and leave it as it is and then come out with something that individually sets the standard in the fast Falcon range as a Ford Performance Vehicle, a new GTHO not by name but by nature or by myth. This is the greatest 4 door Australian saloon car ever produced, its only available in limited numbers and its only available in limited colour range, and this is what you should consider as a replacement for GTHO. Are we considering it right here right now? no we are not. AM/FM But there is drive in your section and branch and the passion is there? With some of the individuals that drove the development of the earlier cars culminating in the Phase 3 your Al Turners and your Bill Bourkes and the obvious passion and drive in them at the time of Total Performance, that enthusiasm obviously makes the difference? Rod B: Youre absolutely right and Al Turners in Australia at the moment, Ive met with him and spoken to him a few times over the past couple of weeks not about the new GTHO but about the old GTHO. It would be lovely in 40 years time for someone to look back and say that he was there at FPV and was part of the Team that re created an Icon. Id love that because Ive been passionate and hopefully knowledgeable about my fast Fords for many years and that would be great, but at the end of the day its not my decision, although every morning I open that door to my office I look up there again points to the framed Phase 3.

AM/FM: We have received feedback from many of the Ford faithful that they require a model which caters for extremely high performance track based activities for Club days etc. Does FPV have plans to cater for these requests? Rob B: Lets just revert back to the GTHO conversation for just a moment, we may choose in the future to bring a car which we believe is of GTHO mythology that may not be called GTHO but it may have all the attributes of your aforementioned statement.

AMFM: As the main influence and inspiration behind our QIK 429 Project, we graciously accept your offer to have FPVs Ambassador Mr Allan Moffat unveil the completed product. This activity will create a great moment in the projects coverage. Can you tell us how Allan came to be FPVs Ambassador, who drove the decision and what the association timeline will be? Rod B: It was my decision because I believe Allan Moffat is Ford and Ford Racing, I believe that people that buy our cars relate to Allan Moffat equally as they relate to Steve Richards or Mark Winterbottom. What got me about Allan was seeing him work at Australian Muscle Car Masters the last 2 years and seeing him pull a queue of 150 200 metres everywhere he goes. We are currently running a program called An Evening with Allan Moffat where he and I sit down, 2 chairs/2 mics and talk, which is quite entertaining. I just feel that he really is an asset to us, we do a lot of stuff around Bathurst and Allan has won Bathurst 4 Times all in Falcons, all in GTs, that said - if youre going to get an Ambassador why dont you get someone that relates to the brand, someone that relates to the joint venture partner in Ford and someone that relates to your audience, which I think weve captured Allan perfectly in this way. He is a great Ambassador, its just a year by year sort of thing, but at the moment in his first year hes done a wonderful job for us and hes become a really good friend theres no reason Allans association with FPV wont continue well into the future.AMFM

AM/FM : With this extensive investment in the Miami Powerplant, do you see the opportunity to export the package to offshore locations? Rod B: There are markets around the world where I think this engine would be a very successful one none more so than back where it came from. I think Bryan (Mears) and Prodrive and FPV would definitely be looking at opportunities outside of Australia and New Zealand.

FORDS ON TRACKStory & Pics: FPR

FPR 2010 THE S TORY SO FAR .Fresh from a win on the streets of Townsville, Ford Performance Racing has signalled that they are well and truly back in the 2010 V8 Supercar Championship title fight, with WesTrac-backed racer Mark Winterbottom securing his second victory of the season just before the mid-season break. His stellar performance was further enriched by his FPR teammate Steve Richards, who over the course of the weekend hooked two top-ten finishes illustrating his return to form after a roller-coaster season. It is a welcome return to form for FPR, who after starting the 2010 season with a flurry of podium finishes and dominant speed, then suffered a dramatic performance slump during the soft-sprint tyre rounds. The car was fantastic in the Middle East I couldnt have asked for a better package to start the year with, Frosty said. Out of the box it really suited the fast flowing smooth circuits over there but once we got back here and hit a few bumps (literally) the car really became a different beast and didnt seem to want to do what we wanted it to do and thats where over the course of the rounds in NZ, Queensland & Winton things really took a dive. To ensure they were once again competitive, FPR made the decision to use two of its valuable test days back-to-back in an effort to fast-track new components that would see the team back at the pointy end of the field. Our solid testing program after Winton though got us back to where we should be and as soon as we put rubber to tarmac in Darwin the rest of the year was suddenly looking brighter again. Darwin saw FPR take their first win in 2010, with Frosty excelling in the testing conditions, while teammate Steve Richards also had a stellar round, blasting his way 11 places through the field for a welcomed top-ten finish. Heading into the second half of the season, FPR is confident the pace can be maintained and more wins are definitely part of the 2010 storyline. Frostys recent win in Townsville elevates him back into third place on the V8 Supercar Championship points table with 1623 points, 324 points off leader James Courtney and 204 behind second placed Jamie Whincup. >>>

FPR PREPARED FOR BATHURST BATTLEThe trucks are loaded the pilgrimage to the mountain is on and this year FPR is back with a vengeance after a kick in the guts last year. Coming off wins in Darwin and Townsville (where all three FPR-prepared cars finished in the top-five), FPR has turned their mid-season performance slump around and put it well and truly behind them, leaving them in great shape for a shot at this years Bathurst 1000 title. Joining Mark Winterbottom aboard the Orrcon Steel Falcon will be experienced racer Luke Youlden, while Bathurst-rookie James Moffat will be making his V8 Supercar main series debut alongside Steven Richards in the Dunlop Super Dealer Falcon. Youlden will be racing at Bathurst for the third straight year with FPR, having previously recording five top-ten results on the Mountain since debuting in 2001, with a best result of third in 2003. On both previous occasions behind the wheel of the FPR Falcon Youlden has teamed with Dean Canto, with the pair registering a seventh place finish in 2008, before retiring late in last years event while running in fifth position. Moffat meanwhile has been campaigning the Ford Rising Stars Racing Falcon in the Fujitsu V8 Supercar Series this season, currently sitting fifth in the points standings. Moffat had a stunning debut season in 2009, where the second generation racer won his first ever V8 Supercar race before finishing second in the championship, picking up the Mike Kable Young Gun Award along the way. FPR team principal Tim Edwards believes that his driving combinations have the perfect mix of speed and experience. We are very happy having Luke and James team up with Mark and Steven, and were extremely confident of a strong showing in the endurance races, Tim Edwards said. Over the years, Luke has demonstrated that he is one of the most talented drivers in Australia without a full time drive, and we are glad that he has joined the team for a third straight year. We have obviously been following James very closely through our association with Ford Rising Stars Racing, and he is a very mature driver for only his second full season in V8 Supercars.

Car # 5 Orrcon Steel FPR FalconCurrently third in the V8 Supercars Championship Series, Winterbottom is in the hunt for the title, but after a couple of horror results at Queensland Raceway and Winton, he has some ground to make up on title leaders James Courtney and Jamie Whincup, and hell be looking to do that on the mountain. While the pressure is on Frosty to secure maximum points if his championship title hopes are to remain alive, he can suit up for the battle knowing he has one of the best wingmen in the business by his side ready to put in what it takes for the win. Partnering Winterbottom in the Orrcon Steel FPR Falcon is Luke Youlden one of the safest pair of hands in the co-driving business. Hes been in championship situations before, and delivered, but how will he go this year? My job is to make sure that when Frosty hands over the car, I give it back to him in the same condition and position, Youlden said. Youlden will be racing at Bathurst for the third straight year with FPR, having previously recorded five top-ten results on the Mountain since debuting in 2001, with a best result of third in 2003.

CAR #6 THE DUNLOP SUPER DEALER FPR FALCONTwo-time Bathurst winner Richards is one of the stalwarts of the V8 Supercars category, but a number of issues this season has affected his championship. Only a handful of top 10 results have been forthcoming, although a strong run in Darwin and the last round at Townsville have given him the confidence he needs for a strong showing this endurance season. One unknown for Richo is the endurance form of his team-mate James Moffat. The rookie will compete in his first V8 Supercars Championship Series races, and while he has also had a difficult season in the Fujitsu V8 Series, this pair cant be written off. To say Im looking forward to this race would be an understatement, Moffat said. Its something that as a kid you dream about and obviously having watched dad race here since I was born Ive probably had more exposure to this place than most people so its a pretty special weekend for me. And for those with a nostalgic bone, this year is the 40th year since James dad Allan Moffats first Bathurst 1000 win AMFM

r MasteT sRound 2 - Winton

he 2010 Touring Car Masters presented by Autobarn season kicked off its biggest season so far amid the fanfare of the Clipsal 500, with 36 entries and all eyes on the newly-acquired 69 Mustang of former V8 Supercar legend, John Bowe. A wobble in the very first practice session saw Bowe put his brand new Pony into the wall in the first couple of laps, prematurely ending his session. Rebounding like the champion he is, Bowe put the famed, and slightly battle scarred, number 18 on pole. After a truly dominant 2009 championship, the Boss Mustang of reigning champ Gavin Bullas delivered the first blow of the 2010 season, taking out race one at Clipsal, outpacing pole sitter Bowe. The Bullas-Bowe Mustangs traded paint in a physical exchange throughout the remaining two races, leaving the Ford-powered Shannons Falcon Sprint of megastar Jim Richards to battle Andrew Miedeckes Camaro for the race lead. In the end, Miedecke took the race two win ahead of the Fords of Bowe and Richards. With Miedecke and Richards balanced on equal points going into the final race, it set up a nail biting decider as the pair lined up on the front row of the

grid for the final nine-lap dash. Miedecke got the jump off the start line and while Richards pushed him all the way to the start line, the Camaro held firm at the front of the field to take both the race win and a dream debut round victory for ex-V8 Supercar driver Miedecke. That was to be the Generals only victory for the first half of the 2010 title chase. Following the round one victory, in a display of outstanding sportsmanship, Miedeckes team voluntarily nominated Clipsal as their dropped points round after finding the car was not compliant for the meeting. While Miedecke remained the round one winner, dropping his points for the round elevated runner up Jim Richards to the Group 1 championship points lead. In the Group 2 battle, Clipsal was a Porsche playground with South Australian Bernie Stack invincible on his home turf. It was the 64 Mustang Coupe of Ian McAlister who was the big surprise, scoring a podium finish in a welcome return to form after a shocker 2009 season. It was the newly-established under two-litre/ Group 3 title battle that gave Ford its first Touring Car Masters round win for 2010 as the popular purple Escort of Phillip Showers to its first TCM victory. Round two at Victorias Winton Raceway and it was once again Bowes Mustang on pole, but this time he was able to translate his qualifying speed into race results, scoring not only his first >>>

race win of the season but his first three wins in a spectacular clean sweep for the overall round victory and the series lead. As Bowe checked out, the rest of the field were left to squabble over the remaining podium places. It was Richards who looked to have the goods for the runner up position after finishing second in the first two races, but he fell down the order when a fire caused him to pull off the circuit with smoke pouring from the Falcons cockpit in a dramatic exit on the penultimate lap of race three. With Bullas Mustang also out of contention after being pinged with a drive through for blocking, it was Miedecke who romped home in second place ahead of Leanne Tander who did a spectacular job to get on the podium in only the second round for the much publicised Phase IV Falcon XA GT, which made its world race debut in the previous round at Clipsal. In Group 2, it was again Stacks 911 Porsche on top of the dais, but this time it wasnt all his own way. With one win in his pocket, Stack was runner up to the XU-1 Torana of 2009 Champ Trevor Talbot in race two, and then played second fiddle to the 68

Mustang of returning TCM racer Chris Stillwell. Stack took top honours in the Group 2 round results edging ahead of the Mustangs of Stillwell in second and McAlister in third. On his home turf, the Showers Ford Escort took its second victory to further extend his points lead in Group 3. Trekking to the Top End for round three, Bowe was again the pole master with his third consecutive pole position. Unlike Winton, Bowe and the #18 Mustang struggled with heat related issues and couldnt match the race pace of Richards Shannons Falcon with Richards leading Bowe across the line for race one. Bullas Mustang and Brad Tilleys XY GT Falcon crossed the line next to see Fords fill the top four places. In race two, Richards was again in a league of his own and left behind the Mustang v Mustang battle of Bullas and Bowe with Bowe this time settling for third behind the reigning champion. In almost a reverse carbon copy of Winton, Richards took the final race win for a clean sweep of the round and assumed the series lead, while Bowe

exited the final race in a cloud of smoke from a broken oil line on the penultimate lap and finished well down the order. With Bullas secure in second place, Bowes departure opened the door for Tilleys first podium of the season, giving Ford its first podium lockout of the season. In Group 2, Stack finally stumbled and the Valiant Pacer of Cameron Tilley took a clean sweep for the round win. The Mustangs of McAlister and Stillwell jostled for the remaining podium positions with the revitalised McAlister, the only driver to have appeared on the podium at each round so far, narrowly ahead of Stillwell in third. Showers dominance came to an end in the Group 3 battle as the exotic Alfa Romeo GTAM of Tony Karanfilovski scored a clean sweep and his first round win in the series, with Showers home in second. After a long mid-season break, the Touring Car Masters action resumed at Eastern Creek Raceway for the Muscle Car Masters event....Stay tuned for coverage next issue. AMFM

L

ike so many, Aaron developed a fatal attraction for Eleanor after watching Gone in 60 Seconds. This interest awoke Rons inner revhead with the thought of creating an oz-built Baddeley version. You see, Ron is no stranger to high performance four wheeled machinery. Over a twenty year period in America, he worked on a variety of race cars that culminated in being Chief Mechanic for Mario Andrettis Indy Car. Armed with his vision of classic 60s style with a hint of new technology, the search was on for a suitable build car, not an easy task these days due to the Eleanor influence. Finally it was a local importer in Melbourne that came up with the goods. The 289 powered, three speed version was seemingly a good starting point. So many times we hear at this point that the car is an absolute lemon but after Ron had it carefully bead blasted back to bare metal he knew he was lucky enough to have found a gem.

Ron was soon in contact with Pete Smith at East Coast Mustang Parts to commence acquiring all the necessary parts and it was he who suggested the Kinsmore Brothers, Luke and Troy to take care of the paint and panel work. The Mustang soon took up residence at their Slammed Creations workshop where Luke began prepping the body for paint. Having dealt with the minor rust and body work he then began fitting up the body kit. This proved much more involved than you might think. There was a significant amount of refining and re-fibreglassing to get a perfect fit, not to mention the fact the kit didnt include mounting brackets for lights and grilles, all of which were also designed and made by Luke. Between Ron and Luke they added functionality to the scoops by fitting ducting to cool the brakes while others ventilate the cabin. Luke also did a number on the engine bay, seam welding all the joins and generally smoothing the

inner panels for a much cleaner appearance. The roll cage is also Lukes handywork.

At Slammed Creations Luke and Troy regularly exercise their artistic flair through not only amazing artwork but also in the construction of cars where ideas can run wild.While on the interior Luke developed the concept for the console and with Rons approval fabricated what is now a striking feature of the trim, thanks also to Troys paintwork. Together they successfully integrated the racing stripe theme from the outside to the interior. When Luke had finished his fabrication and panel work, Troy stepped in to lay on the colour and instead of going with the usual Eleanor flow of grey and black, Ron decided again on some further individuality by opting for Torch Red with white stripes. In a car park full of Eleanor clones, this Baddeley version would certainly stand out from the crowd. Again, it >>

the engine Ron reckons ronger than is st never a anticipated bad thing.

Badds the GolferIt all started when a young 8 year old Aaron went for a round of golf with his grand-mothers. By age 12 he was playing competitive golf and won his club Open Championship at age 14. From then on, he was always going to be a professional golfer. He soon became the youngest winner of the Victorian Amateur Trophy in 60 years and the youngest winner of the Riversdale Cup, a tournament that is over 100 years old! The golfing world stood up and took notice when Aaron won the Australian Open as an 18 year old Amateur and then defended his title the following year. He was soon regarded as the hottest young talent in Australian golf since Greg Norman and he was keen to take his talent abroad. In particular, he wanted to take on the toughest tour of them all - the US PGA Tour. Always confident on home soil, America proved to be difficult and confidence subsequently began to wane. However, Aaron continued to work hard, he changed coaches and eventually worked his way onto the full US Tour in 2003 courtesy of his Top 15 finish on the Nationwide Tour money list in 2002. His first start as a full member of the PGA Tour was almost a fairytale with Badds leading World No. 2 Ermie Els by two shots after three rounds and duelling with the great South African down the stretch only to lose on the second hole of a playoff. He is now a two-time winner on the PGA Tour with the promise of more to come. If youd like to see more of Aaron in action, check him out at www.badds.com.26Australian Mustang and Ford Magazine

Qik 429 Build, Edition 1.Project mastermind and manager is life-long Mustang convert Nathan Wellington. Hes no stranger to potent ponies, having built and pedalled a Hilbourn injected, methanol sucking, v8 powered 67 fastback in the mid-nineties. this time its a 69 fastback, inspired by allan Moffats all-conquering 302 Boss race car of the 70s. Concept cues are drawn from v8 supercars, pro-touring, street elite and naturally, some individuality. it will be a new millennium Mustang with a distinctive race car character to its otherwise street appearance. Bring to the fold a myriad of high quality parts, suppliers and craftsmen and theres no doubt that QiK429 will be one ground breaking, ground pounding stang.

Ftle old scurity from a lit Plucked from ob , this was the y in America man in A lanewa . the QIK429 build basis for

irst things first. If you havent seen or heard anything of the next great Mustang to bite the bitumen Down Under, well bring you up to speed with the story so far. Previous publications had shown how the shell got to a bare metal, naked state but before we jump head long into the world of bodywork, lets hit rewind. To start with, a starting point is required. While Mustangs in Oz are reasonably plentiful, choice is still limited and when youre contemplating a build of this proportion, ideally an old rolling shell, unfinished project or just a run-down example is what youd want. However, were talking Mustang, not Falcon, and a fastback at that so choice was somewhat

limited. The chosen candidate was a running 390, four speed, left hand drive 69 fastback that upon a quick inspection appeared to be in relatively good condition. While you want a starting point to be as good as possible, ultimate perfection was not sought in the same way you might do when buying a nice driver. Of course the first step was to strip the car down by removing everything that is, well, removable. The most important part of this process is to bag, tag and box everything as you never know what little clip or bracket youre going to need, or more to the point not be able to buy, when it comes >>> to assembly.

During this phase one of the essential parts of a build was provided by the guys at B & D Industries in the form of their locally designed and built Twister Rotisserie. If your plan includes any work on the floor, wheel arches or engine bay of a car, these are a safe and functional essential. That is unless you like lying on cold concrete floors and are double jointed! With suspension removed it was finally down to a bare body shell. The next stop was Sydney Soda Blasting where the SSB guys removed the outer layers of skin to leave nothing but the bare metal skeleton. This is a monumental step for any builder as it can take a car that, with a bit of panel work, could be ready for a new shiny coat of paint, to a car that requires that much bodywork you may consider ditching it. This is not for the faint hearted folks. The positive is that if you make the decision to go ahead you know everything that goes into the car. Also, if youre contemplating such an extensive build as that of QIK429, then you know most of it will be replaced or re-fabricated anyway. Soda blasting is one of the safest ways to perform the stripping process as it will remove paint, primer and filler without affecting the underlying metal panels in any way. The fact that these guys are the preferred option to work on soft aluminium panels of Aston Martins and Ferraris means that our mainly steel panels and bodies are in safe hands. Finishing the body and revealing the rust affected areas, the SSB guys then loaded up garnet to treat these areas - blasting the rust away to leave nothing but clean metal to work with. If you dont think you have the stomach to go through such a nerve-racking experience for your already highly priced muscle car, a process that could lead to either throwing it away to start again, or tipping a truck load more cash into repairs, then there is an alternative. Theres Dynacorn. This American based company are producing complete body shells of cars like the Mustang. For about $20k you could end up with a brand spanking, straight and unmolested shell landed to your garage. More from Dynacorn a bit later on. Back to the now bare stang at SSB and it wasnt pretty. At some stage in its forty year history it had copped a rear-ender that had bent the rear frame rails, there was some damage to the right rear quarter and roof and as youd expect, some areas where the tin worm had been at work. Some were not concerning as theyd be replaced, others would require attention. The original hanging panels on QIK429, damaged and deteriorated over time were diced as they were to be replaced with new repro units. In an ideal world, uncovering workable quarters and roof would be the aim but the panel replacement order for QIK429 grew in size to now include these three panels.

As well as producing complete body shells, Dynacorn also produce accompanying panels for purchase individually and as you can see from the pics theyve come to the party with a whole new skin and many other underlying parts as well. Locally, their panels and parts can be supplied by Southern Mustang and Ford Spares in New Zealand and Capital Classics in Canberra. Once again, the price of new repro panels can be a cost effective solution. By the time you have sourced reasonable units, had them blasted and then put them in the hands of a panel beater for some time, it starts to add up. Panel beating is a very laborious and time consuming process that isnt cheap and it doesnt take many hours to equal the price of a new panel. >>>

Skin GraftThen there are those panels that require the professionalism of a panel beater to fit like those new quarters and roof panel. Looking at a quarter-less car is a scary sight so lets check out how the pros do it. When it came time for bodywork, Nathan has chosen Steve and Simon at St Marys Prestige Crash Repairs to straighten up the old girl. St Marys Prestige Crash has been around since the mid eighties and Simon and Steve have been at the helm for the past ten years. Throughout the shops history the core business has been accident repairs and insurance work. Having rebuilt their own cars over the years, restoration is now a facet they are making a focus for their business. Due to the bent and bruised nature of QIK429 this was the ideal platform to showcase their abilities. When the bent and blasted QIK429 shell arrived at the St Marys workshop the first step, as in any serious restoration was to get the car straight and square again. Bolting it on to the chassis aligner the guys started pulling and stretching it back into shape. This was concentrated on the rear end where the frame rails had been bent. There are a series of holes located on the body that provide reference points for accurate measuring. With the correct numbers achieved it was then time to bolt up the panels to make sure all the gaps are true which provided another check to ensure the body is true and square. >>>

With all that preliminary work done, they could now begin the roof and quarter panel replacement. To begin with the guys remove all the lead filling in the panel joints before setting about the onerous task of drilling out all the spot welds. From the door jamb, along the sill, wheel arch, rear beaver panel, boot and window turret - theres hundreds of them to drill out. Finally, the cuts are made to adjoining panels before carefully separating it from the body. As mentioned, its a confronting image for the un-initiated. Taking such a large chunk of steel from anywhere in a car results in some weakness but the remaining body is kept rigid as its still bolted to the chassis aligner. Now its time for more meticulous work as the next step involves rebuilding the body panels where the spot weld holes are. As tedious as it was drilling them out, the same applies for welding them all up. They are then smoothed with the grinder, panel beaten back into shape and lastly rust proofed. Finally the new panel can be slotted into place, carefully clamped to ensure perfect alignment. A purpose built spot welder is then used to secure the panel in position with the end result being one that closely resembles a factory finish. It is a similar process for the roof with the spot welds located along the window turrets and the gutters. The St Marys guys also created the custom rear beaver panel where their years of experience came to the fore to execute the six to eight light conversion. >>>

What this does ensure is that the space between the lights is even throughout, not to mention the fact there is less welding required; only the top and bottom as opposed to all the way around a cut out slots section and a much easier top to bottom weld to shorten the centre section. These guys are not only clever but damn good at what they do. Well catch up with Simon and Steve again when it comes time for final body prep and laying on some colour. Inserted into their new look rear light panel will be a series of custom LED lights that will include orange indicators and white reversing lights. This is not only rego friendly but also removes the standard lower reverse lights that have a tacked on afterthought feel about them which has enabled the complete style make-over of that lower beaver panel.

A diff doesnt look any better than when wrapped up in a sexy housing like that available from Moser.

e diff The feature of th new Wavetrac is Mosers diff centre.

The Diff in DifferentialsWhile the St Marys guys have been busy doing their thing, there have also been developments in other areas of the car. One element in particular that is coming together nicely is the diff. We caught up with James from Sydney Competition Warehouse to enlighten us on what will be utilised to get the grunt from the 429 to the ground. If youre not familiar with Sydney Competition Warehouse, these guys are the one stop shop for anything diff related, particularly when it comes to Fords all mighty nine inch. As well as importing and distributing all the big names of diff components, they build and prepare complete units for any application. They also provide a cut and re-spline service for axles as well as manufacture many ancillary parts in-house. For the QIK429 project they have teamed up with Moser Engineering to provide the latest cutting edge diff technology to the build. Setting the scene is the flawlessly fabricated and oh-so-sexy housing. Manufactured from high grade steel they are not only superior in strength but also add a visually stimulating presence to any undercarriage that is going be under the spotlight. However, its inside the equally impressive billet centre housing where we discover Mosers latest development in differential technology. Their new Wavetrac diff centres provide the ultimate stop gap between the maximum capabilities of a limited slip unit and the inflexible harshness of spools. This revolutionary design addresses those periods of time when there is zero, or near zero axle load. This occurs during hard cornering when one wheel is nearly or completely lifted and it also occurs during the transition from power on to power off and back again, even with both wheels firmly on the ground. All LSDs divide the torque between the two axles until the available grip of each tyre is exceeded. When that grip level is uneven then torque bias takes control. If an LSD has a bias ratio of 2.5:1, then it applies torque to the wheel with the most traction at 2.5 times the traction limit of the other wheel. However, if during hard cornering the traction of the unloaded wheel is zero, then the gripping wheel will receive 2.5 times zero, which folks, is zero and all the power is driven through the wheel with least resistance which clearly results in reduced drive. In the normal drive scenario, the amount of time is minimal but there is a lag. A normal LSD will not be able to apply drive torque until the zero axle load condition is over. This creates a reaction time in the driveline. Some diffs rely on preload springs to contend with the loss of drive, however, you cant add enough preload to be effective without increasing handling and wear problems. The Moser Wavetrac device consists of wave profiled carbon-fibre plates on one side gear and its mating preload hub. As the two side gears rotate relative to each other, each wave surface climbs over the other, causing them to move apart. Almost instantly this creates enough internal load within the Wavetrac to stop the zero load condition and drive torque is applied to the wheel on the ground, thus providing the drive when it is most needed. If you really want the most drive out of the diff using the Wavetrac they can be fine-tuned to suit your application utilising different plates with varying friction coefficients that result in different bias ratios. Moser are probably best known for their axles and a pair of their finest 35 spline units will reside within that gorgeous housing and work in harmony with the Wavetrac centre. Rounding out the rear end package is the TSM (The Streetrod Manufacturing Co Inc.) diff centre mounted hand brake unit. Theyve become popular, certainly in the show car scene but this one goes a step further by incorporating a Watts link system to further enhance the rear end stability. While QIK429 will proudly show off all its glorious workmanship and components under the bright lights in show halls around the country, there will come a time when it will hit the track and this technology will come to the fore. You see, it is Nathans aim to pit the stang against some of Europes finest prestige performance cars. I dont know about you but Ive always been interested to see how a well built street machine would fare against upper class, high priced cars. aMFM

Dynacorn DynastyHere is a company that walked away from the mainstream automotive market to focus purely on the minority of muscle cars and classics of yesteryear. Having gone gang-busters since the move, they have shown the world the power and passion of enthusiasts like you and I. Dynacorn International Incorporated began as a collision parts supplier to body shops but an experiment with mouldings for late 60s Muscle and Pony Cars showed the company that there was more than a casual interest in the cars of that vintage. The decision to expand the early model product line was an easy one to make. As the volume of product for the early cars began to increase, the profit on the late model collision parts was on the decline. Competition and market saturation made it hard to hold a reasonable margin selling to body shops. But the restoration market was always ready to pay a higher price to get a higher quality part. Dynacorn backed their instinct and began to focus more and more on the early model parts market. By the time the company was ten years old the restoration market was half of Dynacorns volume but well over half of the companys profits. With the added resources and specialised personnel, the Restoration Parts Division not only expanded, it exploded. Increasingly, customers wanted them to make parts for their particular needs. As the product line expanded, the need for a larger facility was plain to see. Before turning 20, the restoration parts had outgrown its own warehouse and the collision parts side of the company had been sold off. Then they took it to a whole new level. By using many of the quality restoration parts sold by Dynacorn International along with certain exclusively designed parts, Dynacorn Classic Bodies Inc. was formed to manufacture and market complete replacement body shells. Following the success of the first generation Camaros, the 1967-68 Mustang Fastback shells were next. Once presented to Ford, it was licensed quickly and began production within a month. The Ford product line has expanded to include 1969 and 1970 Mustang Fastback shells since. In terms of quality, these guys get into metallurgy, carbon chains and crystallization which, unless its your thing, they may as well be speaking Swahili! What I can tell you is that in instances the thickness of metal in some of their products is thicker than original. Im sure you can appreciate the benefits of using laser cutters to cut out required holes as opposed to having them punched through during stamping which can stretch the metal which can also result from dull or blunt cutters of old.

Have you ever sat in a movie cinema, seen a Mustang pop up on the big screen unexpectedly and felt a sudden pang of excitement in the stomach as you sit more upright in your seat?f youre reading this magazine, Im sure you know the feeling.Even just the glimpse of some racing stripes on the side of a muscle car in the background of a shot on TV and youre willing the actors to get out of the way so you can see the car better. Or the lead actors car in a film could be an old Mustang and you just wait and hope that theres more scenes of him driving.heck he doesnt even have to be driving fast or chasing any baddies, youd be more than happy just to watch him drive the long way to the local shops for bread and milk.just more scenes of that car please!! Or have you flipped through a magazine, old or new and come across an interesting article or story with an image of a Mustang or old Ford and its made your day? As an avid Mustang enthusiast, its hard to comprehend that everybody living in this world does not share the same enthusiasm for old Pony cars but its true, not everybody gets excited about the word Shelby or Boss. Id genuinely be worried about any non mustang fan getting excited by the word Boss, which is why I think we feel so happy, proud.or even validated when we see that very object that occupies so much of our thoughts and daydreams - a Mustang, on the big screen or in the print media. Suddenly everybody in that movie theatre or everybody reading that same magazine has been let in on something weve already known for a long, long timeMustangs are freakin cool cars. To share these little moments of excitement with other enthusiasts this column will celebrate the use of Mustangs in film, TV and print media by highlighting standout appearances by Pony cars and old Fords in the media from the sixties until today. So without any further ado, here are our heroes for the very first issue of this top new publication. Motown trio, Martha and the Vandellas never had the success of The Supremes (not many did with 12 number one hits). However, Marthas throatier, more street savvy, rockier voice won her a legion of fans including Dusty Springfield, who refused to sing alongside Ross as part of the Motown special on UK show Ready Steady Go! in April 1965, instead choosing to sing with Vandella. Martha and the Vandellas experienced success thanks to their hit singles (Love is like a) Heatwave (1963, #1 US R&B Charts for 5 weeks) and
