You know -- I was going to make some "anti" Ford statement... always trying to be funny and light hearted.... and then I realized that my track car is a Ford - I have a '32 Ford Roadster and I'm having a '33 Ford built. I think I just now figured that out! :wow: :wow:


Here's a shot of how my track car was set up -- noticed you're using similar struts in your build.

Yes they are simular something my son and i built on a Saturday morning. we have a local shop who specialise in building speedway cars and are Afco parts dealers they are a good source of rod ends and threaded alloy tube .Once the engine and radiator are fitted i will mke up the front bar .I am waiting on a AFCO dual pass radiator and will run some twin electric fans from a local falcon.Still plenty of work ahead , all the wiring , and running fuel lines once the exhaust is finished.Rob it looks great i am wrapped with it's visual appeal the FE motors dress up well . Can't wait for the day when we fire it up .

Made some more progress with the build engine and gearbox are now in .Fitting extractors and have to clearance valve cover with the master cylinder. Have a few shots more to come .

Right on Mark. You are on the home stretch. Did you use the back up in the air trick?

:cheers:

I fitted the engine first and then the gearbox ,did'nt want to risk banging it up. I have to do some work on the drivers side as the master cylinder intrudes into the valve cover ,should'nt be too much of a issue .Had a bit of a delay fitting engine as i had to have all the brake lines fabricated .Braided lines from master cylinder down to the brake bias valve ,from there braided to front calpers and new stainless line to the rear ,brake guy did a top job . Tomorrows day will be fitting starter motor and extractors not a lot of room fitting a FE in a 67 mustang . My son is folding up the new fuel tank for it on Saturday about 85 litres should give some good cruising range with the distances we can travel .It will be baffled and i am fitting a intank pump with a surge pot built around the pump,once this is fitted off to have exhaust system finished .Will post more photos as i complete the work and as you say on the home straight .
