The car was broad and needed major TLC after sitting in storage for several years, according to Bodie Stroud. The floorboard needed to be replaced.
​The car received a new Ride Tech air-ride suspension and shocks, as well as a Ford Crate motor, a 5-liter that was capable of pumping out 300 horsepower.
The C6 automatic transmission provided the torque to the wheels. The transmission had clutch plates instead of bands on the low and reverse gears.

56 Ford F100 (BSI X100)
630-hp Ford Racing Aluminator motor, with 4R70W four-speed automatic. The dash is reworked to fit gauges from a Ford F150 King Ranch Edition, and the bench is swapped out for buckets from a Mustang GT. The independent front and four-link rear suspension are adjustable utilizing BSI-designed control arms with patented EZ-Aline adjusters. helping to make room for staggered wheels - 19 inches in front, 20 inches in back, and larger can be accommodated. Six-piston Wilwood brakes handle the stopping.

George Russo's
65 Mustang Fastback
700hp Coyote crate motor combines with modern suspension to create supercar performance with a vintage vibe. George and Bodie made decisions on how far the updates could be pushed without crossing the line and losing that GT350 aesthetic. Bodie Stroud and his crew were extremely mindful of the goal and every modification made to the chassis, engine bay, and interior was carefully considered to make it feel very 1965. For example, the shock towers were shrunken rather than deleted, and the custom adjustable tubular front control arms were powdercoated in two-tone silver and black to mimic original parts. It's the attention to detail like that that really sets this car apart.
