Atlanta Mach 1 Revived: 351 Cleveland, 5-Speed, Shaker Hood

A 1970 Mach 1 that’s been a “good-looking paperweight” for 10 years roars back to life. Mike brings his Atlanta Mustang to Phantom Works for the dream build: a 351 Cleveland refresh, automatic-to-5-speed conversion, and a true shaker hood. But budget tension over paint vs performance forces a bold call, and a quick test buff changes everything. Meanwhile, Richard’s Sunbeam Tiger gets a painstaking burl walnut dash with original Smith’s gauges that nearly goes sideways with one risky drill pass. And Peggy’s Fiat 124 Spyder? A cracked crossmember and metal in the oil pan turn a “seat fix” into a safety-and-engine mystery you won’t see coming. From four-link coilovers and posi traction to custom pedal spacing and a perfectly finished cubby, this episode is packed with problem-solving, craftsmanship, and surprises. Watch to see the Mach 1’s shaker rise, the Tiger’s dash glow, and the Fiat finally fit its driver. Hit play to see what we fix, what we save, and what we refuse to compromise. #FantomWorks #Mach1 #MustangRestoration #SunbeamTiger #Fiat124Spider #ShakerHood #351Cleveland
