The "eBay CJ!" (2010 Mustang CJ 352 Build)
This build thread is to document our transformation of a pedestrian 2012 Mustang V6 into a 2010 Mustang Cobra Jet with the 352 ci engine and, most importantly, a STICK!!
With this thread we hope to show that you do not need $100,000 to build a new style 'Factory' Stocker, but doing it this way requires a lot of time and effort and the patience to seek out favorable deals on components as they show up - much like building a traditional Stocker on a budget! Here's the car we're starting with...purchased for $5600 from a Southside Auto, a dealer located just 45 miles away in Faribault MN. |

The first order of business was to repair the left front damage, which turned out to be relatively minor. After a brand new fender and headlight assembly, and the help of Mike's Frame Services in South Minneapolis, the damage was repaired within 3 days.
The front bumper assembly has already been discarded to make way for a new one (the V6 front end is slightly different than what's on the CJ) and the hood of course will also be replaced with the standard fiberglass CJ piece. |

Nick,
You are beginning a very interesting project. What you are doing is the classic definition of hot rodding. I like the concept and will be following with interest. Thank you for posting the project. You are on the forefront of what could be a very popular, very valid movement. We often hear it said that drag racing needs new blood, new interest. Well, this is it. Good job! |

Ford Performance no longer shows the CJ hood being available so where does one source hoods for the CJ?
