Project RedNeck: First Load
Project RedNeck Using the proceeds of the sale of Project MX, FordMuscle brings on a new vehicle for 2007. We're proud to introduce our 1978 F250 Custom 4x4. Project Redneck will pay tribute to those who choose not to assimilate into dominant car culture by modifying this brawler with hands-on pride, a short pocketbook, and no concern for what the public thinks.

Introduction
Project 67 (Active)
Don't let the sleeper looks of the original FM project cardeceive you. This pony has been in the FM stable since 1999, where it started out as Project 11.99, termed after the car's ET objective having then received our 400 Horsepower 302 engine project. After meeting that goal, it hasn't wavered in it's position as FM's primary dragstrip guniea pig.

Can you really buy a new car online?
Project MX (In-Active)
It's happened to you, we're sure of it. You saw it on eBay, Collector Car Trader, CraigsList, or even in the Penny Saver and just had to obey your passion as a classic Ford enthusiast. You bought that bargain project car, despite acknowledged space and time restraints and the work-in-progress in your garage. That's what we did when we purchased this 1972 Montego with no planning. So now what?

Project Cobra (Active)
If you like tragic tales, the saga of our teal 1993 SVT Cobra will have you in tears. The project began with a 13 hour road-trip to acquire the car, and ended with identifying the remains in a police theft recovery yard. Fortunately in between are some great tech pieces, including a 300 rearwheel horsepower dyno romp.

Project 01GT (In-Active)
Ford's departure from pushrod V8's in 1996 signaled to us that a mod-motor project car would eventually reside in the FM shop. Our '01 Mustang GT houses a relatively plain-jane 4.6L 2V mill. We've performed the initial steps in souping up this modern muscle car, including a nitrous installation and chip tune.

Project Torino (Active)
Rescued from an abandoned chicken coupe in Sacramento, CA. FordMuscle brings back to life a 1973 Gran Torino factory 429 car. Among everything it's taking to get it back on the road we've added rear disc brakes and a budget minded 460 powerplant. As with most projects, we tread through the failures only to savor the glory of saving a nearly forgotten musclecar.

Project Big & Ugly Work Truck (In-Active)
Enough of project cars, here is a project truck for FordMuscle. If you can look past the 'Department of Public Works' white paint and all-business body, you'll find the same guts as a Mustang - a 5.0L SEFI motor and an AOD transmission. We're going to pull some plays from our 5.0 playbook and beef up the...

Project 88LX (In-Active)
This is the epitome of the 5.0L Mustang project car. Ours' began life with an automatic transmission. It took no time to get the AOD car into the 13's. Eventually it received the obligatory T5 conversion. This car has been subjected to just about the entire realm of Fox-body modifications, so enjoy the details.
