Full Build: Taking A 1970 Mustang From Pony To Stallion

This 1970 Mustang will take a 50 year leap into the future! EBC Brakes is teaming up with Detroit Muscle to turn this pony car into a stallion. The team dives into the EBC Mustang but things may have to get worse before they can get better. The first step is to build a solid foundation for this Resto Mod. The Mustang has to hook and stick to the ground, so it’s time for some new suspension magic! Then, the crew creates a custom exhaust with some TIG Tech, and they lay out a new living room. They go all in to reveal their supercharged ground-pounding pony at SEMA 2021 in Vegas. Check it out from start to finish.

I get so jealous of the people that get to own a car like this. It has all the power steering, brakes and suspension advantages of a modern car wrapped up in an great old school muscle car. Not to mention a Whipple charged Coyote motor. I noticed they didn't mention the HP and TRQ numbers of that motor which are 1003hp and 799 torque. Probably because it out classes that transmission, which was rated for 600 hp. A great build and a fun bunch of episodes chained together to watch.

[@shanerichardson9568]

I just watched for two hours and never heard it run or saw it drive.

[@briansearles4473]

This is exactly the type of build I like to see. A Plane-Jane Mustang transformed into something extra special. Makes a nice change to see something different under the hood instead of a stroked Windsor or a crate 350 Chevy.

EBC also makes some great brake pads and rotors for road and off road bicycles. They don't make actual calipers or levers but if you use some great base bones like Shimano XT, XTR, Ultegra or Dura Ace calipers you can even upgrade them with EBC Ceramic pistons and replace the steel hardware with alloy that combined with the heat dissipating pistons will stop you faster and help drop the bikes over all weight.
