1966 Mustang wired with the Infinitybox System

Our customers are technology guys. They like to tinker, create and modify things. They aren’t content with things that are basic. We have been helping our customers build beyond basic cars for 10 years now. This one is no exception. Geoff Beale built a beautiful 1966 Mustang hardtop that was featured in the most recent issue of Mustang Monthly. Geoff did something very unique with the electrical system in this car. He wired it with our Infinitybox system, then paired our system with a Crestron control system. The end product is an awesome Mustang with complete control through switches and an iPhone. Read below for more details.

Geoff runs Throwback Customs. In addition to that, he is highly involved with Crestron, which builds electronic control systems for conference rooms, board rooms and schools. Geoff paired his Crestron expertise with our Infinitybox system to get a powerful electrical system for his Mustang.

The car was in pretty rough shape when Geoff purchased it. Over several years, he has shaped, sculpted and created his ideal version of the 1966 Mustang. He installed a supercharged 5 liter Coyote Mustang engine on an Art Morrison MAXG chassis. From there, he has added subtle touches to the car that you won’t see anywhere else.

When it came to wiring the car, he came to Infinitybox to get our 20-Circuit Kit to be used as the main body controller. This kit is powering his lighting, ignition, starter, cooling fans, fuel pump, horn and other accessories. He added an extra POWERCELL to get 10 more outputs for the added features that he has in the car. He then added our inMOTION Motor Controller to control his power windows and locks. Lastly, he added our inVIRONMENT module to control his Gen-IV unit from Vintage Air.

Because of his experience with Crestron, he wanted to use their system as the touch screen and iPhone controller for the car. Our MASTERCELL inputs are all ground switched so Geoff was able to easily connect his inputs to the outputs of his Crestron controller. All the electrical features in the car can be controlled through the Crestron touch screen or the Crestron iPhone app. Geoff has a YouTube channel full of videos showing off the integration of the two systems. Here’s an example video of him showing off the electrical features in the car.

Jesse Kiser of Mustang Monthly shot a bunch a great pictures of the car. He also wrote a great article covering the history of the car, Geoff’s build and the unique features of this Mustang. You can read the entire article by clicking this link.

Congratulations to Geoff for finishing a spectacular build. We’re proud to be a part of this car.

Infinitybox is proud to announce that Scott Roth and his team at The Auto Shoppe VT made it to the Great 8 with their Split Ray 1966 Corvette at the 2017 Detroit Autorama.  Our system has wired some amazing cars but the craftsmanship, quality and attention to detail in this car make it one of a kind.

The Don Ridler Memorial Award is given to the builder who shows creativity, engineering and quality workmanship.  Any car that makes it to the Great 8 of the Ridler is the best of the best.  Scott and his team have accomplished something remarkable in their first attempt at the Ridler.  You can see a great video interview with Scott going through the details of the car below.

The car has many unique features.  Most significantly, the car was widened by 6 3/8 inches.  This was done to make it more comfortable and accessible.  The Auto Shoppe was able to accomplish this and keep all of the proportions of the car just right.  The finished product has a tougher and meaner stance.

Cutting and widening the car lead to the name of Split Ray.  They created a custom logo for this and it shows everywhere in the car.  Even the Corvette badges were modified to show the name and the logo.

The paint is flawless.  The interior rivals that of any Italian super car.  You feel it when the engine roars to life.  No words can adequately describe what they did with this car.

Scott and his team wired the car with our Infinitybox system.  He knew that he wanted to make the car stand out in every way.  Our system helped him do this electrically.  The foundation is a 20-Circuit Kit.  He added two inMOTION cells to control the windows and both power seats.  He has inLINK for control from a key fob and inRESERVE to monitor and protect his batteries.  He added inVIRONMENT to control his Vintage Air Gen-IV heating and air-conditioning system.  He runs everything through our inTOUCH NET.  Everything in the car can be controlled through his iPhone or the Kenwood DNN992 in the dash.

Congratulations to Scott Roth and his team.  We are proud to be a part of this build!
