Ringbrothers<\/a> specialize in building custom hot rods at their company in Wisconsin. In 2015 they applied their talents building “SPLITR<\/a>“; a race-inspired 1965 Mustang with modern power and handling.<\/p>\n

Under the Ringbrothers’ carbon fiber hood<\/a> sits a 427 ci Windsor V8 from Ford Racing flanked by custom exhaust headers. Behind the V8 is a Bowler T56 six-speed manual transmission and Detroit Speed Engineering 9-inch rear end.<\/p>\n

\"1965<\/a><\/p>\n

Ringbrothers chose to upgrade the Mustang’s handling with a full suspension from Detroit Speed Engineering. The front used their Aluma-Frame front subframe<\/a> with tubular control arms and power steering rack. The rear used their QUADRAlink 4-link suspension. The brakes feature Baer 6S Extreme six-piston calipers with 14-inch rotors in the front and rear.<\/p>\n

On the outside Ringbrothers trimmed the bottom of the front fenders. They also extended the rocker panels forward and down. Under all that is a custom flat floor pan. Everything is covered in BASF Glasurit 90 Line paint in the color of “Ford Racing Red” (Ford PQ). The finishing touch is a set of HRE C1 Series C103 wheels (18×9, 19×11) with Nitto INVO ZR tires (265\/35, 325\/30).<\/p>\n

The race-inspired interior starts with black leather-covered Recaro seats. Under the windshield is a custom dash with many custom billet controls and Classic Instrument gauges. A leather-wrapped steering wheel is mounted on an Ididit tilt column.<\/p>\n
