1969 Mustang HellRaiser

I thought I would go all "not the nine o'clock news for this post" - so if you are pondering what makes you go boing boing boing until you get a pain in the groin..... behold the rear end update, with lots of clever spring things going on.

So pleased with how this has come together - the whole unit tying into the roll cage and sub frame both structurally and visually. Mark has excelled himself with the design. Look at those rockers! Still to weld the extra bits of cage and spec the final shocks…

for the technically minded - push rods are all rose jointed and  tie into the mustang s550 IRS and directly to the new lighter much sexier tubular rear arms we fabricated and then rise up to the lever arms which will be held in place by a closed faced bearing to minimise friction and then on to a set of nitron shocks. The observant amongst you will note that these are indeed our Nitron front shocks, but Badhand will be on to the nice chaps at Nitron to spec up the rear ones soon.

The whole kit and caboodle is tied into the IRS and the rear role cage, so we get firm control and so you don't get a pain in your groin or any part of your anatomy when driving. It will be more I like trucking and I like to truck.

This also marks a milestone, as once this is done and the cage is in,  then Hellraiser will be cut off the build cradle and she will be standing on her own four wheels ... which for the moment will be boring s550 mustang onwa, ones until we find a wheel company that have some suitably retro but modern wheels we like, preferably centre lock as who doesn't like smashing your nuts with a big leather hammer.
