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.

So glad car content like this is still being made. Easy, enjoyable viewing.

When money is no object, you can build anything.

I went after this car so hard. Was heartbroken when someone in NY won it. I could never afford that beauty. 😒

[mikegallagher]

This guy that you have helping is a master welder, his work is absolutey perfect, looks better than factory!

[rodnicker]

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.

Please keep doing full length builds for Youtube!

[briansearles]

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.

[jiggsborah]

Wow guys. I'm in south Africa 🇿🇦 and enjoy the channel
I'm a 59 year old diesel mechanic and my mates and I were looking at that Mustang from the movie Bullitt. Man that is cool stuff.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that you are hotting up a mustang from the Same era...Thanks guys

[cornflake]

That front end is just awesome. solid like a truck!! Rearend is just as solid. Actually, the whole build is magnificent.

My older cousins worked at Ford in Detroit and were Mustang guys. So naturally I really wanted a ‘70 Mustang as a teenager! But couldn’t find one that wasn’t rusted out in Michigan. Maybe one day I’ll find one. Love the Boss 302 paint! Such a classic looking resto mod Mustang.

[christ]

This classic mustang is a dream, would love to be the new owner.
Thanks POWERNATION you guys rock !

[internetperson]

It's like movie night for me every time you guys drop one of these comps.

Harbor freight offers a pneumatic ram upgrade for an engine hoist. Great value, easy install and makes lifting an engine a breeze!

[MasterGGG]

I love these full build videos, I had covid a few weeks ago and the 10 days I was down, your full build videos helped a lot, keep up the amazing work, and thank you!

[bobbyt]

Watched the whole video hoping to hear it and see it run. Beautiful build though

[FrisellFan]

This car is a beautiful choice for a project as this

[shanerichardson]

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

[jerrybeilgard]

We ALL had one we wished we could have kept. Mine was a 70 Challenger drop top. It was the car, or the kid. I could only have one.

[Pendaws]

Fantastic build you fella did :) The front end looks like it should have come from the factory like it, body and suspension. :)

[stevepurcell]

Why didn't you guys do before dyno like usual. We love seeing how much power it gains.
