Cut and Shoot
Kenny Brown passed away Tuesday. He was one of the first to work on the the mustang platform and redid the suspensions on the steeds mustang and immediately won several championships.
He was the first to work with the mustang cobra IRS and did complete suspension in my 00R.
RIP

I used to have my own Ford Performance shop. I was a Kenny Brown Performance distributor. They were always great to work with. I sold a huge amount of their sub-frame connectors, Matrix braces, Strut Tower braces and just about anything else they sold.
Sad to hear of him passing.

He did my 95 R for the previous owner. It was the only 95R they did. It is supposedly the winningest privateer 95R with race history. Was planning on taking it down to see him this summer.
RIP

Damn that sucks. I had the pleasure of talking to his son ages ago and he was very informative and helpful. I can imagine Kenny would be the same way.

I wonder if his his business will live on. Hopefully he passed the torch to someone.

Yes it was Saleen (not Steeda), Kenny ran the race winning program. Was very dominant.

I remember circa 1990, I saw in a magazine, an emerald green car he did. I was in awe. I had my 88 GT at the time (that I still have). I wanted one of his cars. I called, left a message. Kenny returned the call and left me a message, I still remember vividly that it was HIM that called. Then I realized, whoa.... pump the brakes, I can't swing this....

Fast forward to a couple years ago, I was able to secure an Outlaw. The original owner spent $42k (not including the car) modifying it. Lots of cool details, shock towers cut to get more caster, steering rack lowered, 3" metal wide body, list keeps going (after the built super charged 302). Dream fulfilled. Ive been driving it this week, in a tribute.

RIP Kenny (Race In Peace).
