How to Build Ford Restomod Street Machines

How to Build Ford Restomod Street Machines
by Tony Huntimer

The styling of Ford’s muscle and pony cars of the 1960s and 1970s is amazing, but their performance in some areas just isn’t up to date. So what do you do if you want the classic look of a vintage Mustang, Cougar, or Gran Torino, but the power, handling, and drivability of a modern performance car? Build a high-performance Ford Restomod!

How to Build Ford Restomod Street Machines shows you how to modify your vintage Ford to accelerate, stop, corner, and ride as good as - if not better than - Detroit’s best new high-performance cars. Don’t subject your classic Ford to a life of garage time, trailer rides, outdated factory-original performance, and the occasional Sunday cruise - build it to run hard.
