I died.

The build is sweet minus the Mustang look....

/remove all body panels so it doesn't look like a mustang and less weight. WIN WIN!

[sweetbmxrider]

Don't you mean put it in yo kiddie hauler????

Would be pretty sweeeeeet!

[xDetroitMetalx]

Be cool to put that engine in an Ariel Atom.... Although it would totally screw up the balance.........................dot........dotdot. ...

[Lawhead]

One of my rods ended up being junk so guy who does my machine work said he'd find one for me and get that done this week then the short block should be going together from there

[Lawhead]

Well some more progress........Got the crank in and new bearings throughout got the cam sitting in there waiting for a new timing set didn't like the set I had was to loose for my taste got a 5.7 rod to switch with mine next week so next week I'll be checking PTV and if needs fly cut back to the machine shop if not heads are going on and not looking back!!l Dont mind the cylinder walls either its just discoloring from carb cleaner and smearing around the carbon

35 spline Moser Axles
TA Cover
C Clip eliminator
Welded tubes
Spool




Upper and lower control arms




She's getting there

[sweetbmxrider]

Why the hell did they have a blue dash? Looks much better.

Who boxed the control arms?

[Lawhead]

The coupe had the blue interior and I Had no idea either but the Vinyl paint and the plastic's silver it turned out pretty good

The guy before me with the hatch boxed them I guess back in the day that was tits for these things but now that I robbed all the suspension out of the white car I ended up getting rid of it as a shell for 600 bucks........with no a single thing in it these Foxbodies are gold somehow.....

[Lawhead]

4800 Stall is ordered an on its way for a TH350/LSX
Keeping the 3.73's in the rear as well so that should give insight on what the plans are for the car......

[ShowNoMercy]

5k stall? Holy race car batman!

[Lawhead]

I got the Bird for a DD lol

5500 on the shot btw...........

[Lawhead]

Well some progress on the car today......Got the dash in, Throttle cable in, Took the stuff off my other car (Kmemeber A arms coil overs) installed manual brake kit, pedals

Here is the progression on the life of the dash board in 6ohStangs 6oh Stang....

First was a hacked job Sn95 dash that looked good in there but what he did to the car is just terrible

and it weighed 135 pounds!!!




Ripped that out and you guys who know whats behind a fox dash board should quickly see whats missing......



You guys seen the interior painted blue....Painted it black and silver plastics and think it turned out pretty tits!! Going to put my gauges in the stock place and add a shift light in a sneaky location!!




And can't forget the other goodies
