[66 FSTBK RR]

Hey Everyone,

I thought I would include you on my progress of the 66' Mustang Fastback progress. As some of you know about the project and what it all entails, I hopefully at least keep you guys interested as I both develop a digital model for structural analysis as well as material savings costs as I strengthen and build the mustang. Exhaust Routing, Computer generated body-flex and thus a solution, as well as turbo-piping, header design, and any and all geometry questions will be solved before the issue ever becomes an expen$ive mistake. Take a peak guys! AS ALWAYS, comments and questions always welcome, you guys and your knowledge will be the reason this project is ever completed, published, and enjoyed on the open road.

Not to get you off topic, but I was noticing the jet turbine engineering title. I drive around a couple of PW305As strapped to a fuselage


I can't wait to see more progress on the car. Keep us updated.

That what they say about the Lear 60. It's 2 PW305As flying in formation pushing a fuselage.

It'a 9200 lbs of thrust in a 23,500 MTOW airplane. That's a good power to weight ratio in the civilian world. That's why we can see 13,000 fpm climbs off the rotation, and a 11 minute time to climb to FL410. That's on a good day.

With passengers on a normal flight, we usually see 6000 fpm at 250 KIAS.
