After impact, obviously!
Left side tire was plowing bad and right side was dragging on the inside of the tire due to the camber. All that = bang!
LOL!

The roll back is a Chevy. The driver is always breaking my stones over driving a Ford and he was heartbroken to see that he had to tow it. I broke his stones and told him he was LOOKING for a reason to tow it so I gave him one. hehe!

Any news on the car, plans, etc?

I'm going to look at a couple of 99-04s tomorrow. Depending upon how the bodies are will depend upon what I do.

Last night my wife told me she thinks it'll be less hassle to get a15/16. But that's not necessarily true. I'll still need to do the R&D for a hillclimb suspension. Then there's the issue of getting 315s under it. While I don't care about cutting fenders etc, the issue is how the bumper covers connect to the fenders and 1/4s. So that's just 1 facet.

Then, if I go with a new one, I will part this one out. So we'll see

What to do....

I dont think I could stomach it if I wadded up a 15/16!

Nekasrof · 10-16-2015, 02:57 PM

LOL!!! The rule is that if you're worried about crashing, don't do it.
While I don't look to wreck, things happen. Its all good

DSG2003Mach1 · 10-16-2015, 04:30 PM

glad youre keeping a positive outlook on it! Hope to see more hill climb footage in some kinda mustang soon (relatively anyway)

Nekasrof · 10-17-2015, 07:48 AM

Well. I race hard and race to beat cars I shouldn't be close to. So it stands to reason that at some point, you gonna get bitten!!! LOL!!! No reason to cry about it.

Have to imagine the benefits of the 15/16 suspension geometry would be pretty tough to turn down. Not only that; making power with the coyote is pretty easy as well. Pick up one with no options and start modding! As much as I love my Mach; if I had to start over because of a total loss I think I would have to go the 15/16 route. They are just that much better. Actually, getting a GT350 would be awesome as well; those are fantastic.

sorry to hear about you mach, but as you said, it will come a time when it happen, when your going the speeds you did.
glad everyone is ok and good luck on which ever way you go.
love seeing your hill climbs, just insane to watch and see

How about starting a tube chassis build? Then making it a mach 1 but correcting the geometry in the suspension. Correct the weight distrabution. Put a coyote in it or ls motor (sorry)

Just for the cost of the build seems like it would be be slightly cheaper than a 15/16 but you can make it the way you want to make it from the start and run what ever size tire you want under it
