Inside our J-Code Mustang restomod

A few interior shots from our J-Code Mustang restomod.

This cabin has a really nice balance between classic Mustang vibes and a more finished restomod feel. Simple, clean, and exactly the kind of place you want to sit behind the wheel.

Let us know what you think.

Another important piece in our 64.5-68 Mustang suspension setup

Wanted to share another part from one of our current Mustang setups.

This is a lower control arm for 1964.5-1968 Mustangs. It’s built as a bolt-on part for the factory mounting points, but adds a lot more precision and adjustability than a more traditional setup.

The arm uses S355 structural steel, a uniball, and turnbuckle-style adjustment, so it’s much easier to dial in geometry while keeping the car compatible with the original body mounting points.

Not the flashiest part in the system, but definitely one of the pieces that makes a big difference once everything starts working together.

How do you guys like this kind of setup?

Underbody details on our J-Code Mustang restomod

A few underbody shots from our J-Code Mustang restomod.
This part of the build often stays hidden, but we think it deserves some attention too. Clean lines, solid details, and a lot of work underneath the car.
Take a look and let us know what you think.

Our favorite finished J-Code Mustang restomod

Some aesthetic shots of one of our favorite finished restomod projects — a J-Code Mustang.
This build turned out really special for us, so we wanted to share a few details from the suspension setup.

A little update from the engine bay side of this Mustang build.

This is an engine bay brace for 1965-1970 Mustangs. What I like about this kind of setup is that it still looks pretty natural under the hood, but it does a lot to stiffen up the front structure and cut down on flex.

It uses steel, CNC-machined 7075 aluminum parts, and adjustable arms, so there’s a lot more room to dial things in than with a more basic setup.

Not the kind of part that screams for attention, but definitely one of those things that makes more sense the more you look at how these cars are built.

How do you guys feel about this kind of bracing?

A few shots of this clean classic Mustang engine bay.

There’s something about a well-kept engine bay that just feels right - the colors, the metal details, the symmetry, and that old-school mechanical look.

Simple, clean, and full of character.

Thought you guys might appreciate it.

Deep blue, clean lines, and that J-code presence

Clean classic lines, sharp wheels, chrome touches, and that old-school attitude that never really gets old.

Wanted to share another detail from one of our current Mustang setups.

These are our left and right diagonal control arms for 1964.5-1968 Mustangs. They’re built as a bolt-on solution for the factory mounting points, while adding more stiffness, durability, and adjustability to the setup without cutting into the car.

The arms are based on 3D scans of original Mustangs, built from high-strength steel, and designed to handle both geometry adjustment and real-world use.

Not the flashiest parts in the system, but definitely some of the pieces that help bring the whole suspension together.

What do you guys think?

Got quite a few questions about this piece in earlier posts, so I figured it deserved a closer look.

This is an upper control arm mount for 1964.5-1968 Mustangs, built around the Shelby drop layout. It’s CNC-machined from PA9 aluminum, black anodized, and designed to fit the factory mounting points without cutting into the car.

It’s one of those smaller parts that doesn’t grab all the attention, but it plays an important role in the overall suspension setup.

What do you guys think?

Wanted to share another detail from one of our current Mustang projects.

This setup adds extra underbody bracing to a 1964.5-1968 Mustang Fastback/Coupe. The goal was to add some stiffness underneath, reduce flex in the floor structure, and help the car feel a bit more stable and precise.

It’s built from S355 structural steel and mounts to the factory points, so the car keeps its original structure without modifying the original bodywork.

Would you guys keep the underside mostly stock, or add bracing where it actually makes a difference?

Wanted to share one of the bigger pieces from a Mustang project we’re working on right now.

This is a billet multi-link suspension setup for 1964.5-1968 cars. The idea behind it was to move past some of the compromises of the original setup and build something more adjustable, more controlled, and a bit more serious overall.

We’ve already had this setup tested on the road, and the results have been phenomenal - the car feels far more precise, planted, and predictable compared to the factory-style arrangement.

It also opens up some extra room for custom headers, which is always a nice bonus.

Would you guys stay closer to a factory-style setup, or go for something more modern?
