It looks like its going good.

Thanks wayne! Its going great just like i hoped it would!

We are thinking about swaping out the getrag for a tremec TR6060 out of an 05-10 mustang so then we can run a 1 piece drive shaft and also move the shifter location to better suit us.

Also happened to pass my road test today! 0 mistakes :thumbsup:
cant wait to get out on the auto x track now!

beautiful ride! My dad has a custom built 55 Fairlane. I forwarded him this link and he was drooling over your car.

thanks! i like your dads 55! Very nice ride! You have some very nice cars youself that i admire! you were the one who was selling a red and black mercury monterey wagon right? I think that would make a sweet pt wagon when i do one!

Yes, I sold the wagon to fund my other projects. tired of not having a running vehicle!

Been extremly busy with school and work the past few weeks. Anyways here is an update! We have the floor almost complete! just have to close off the tubs and we are done with the floor!

We are looking to switch out the MT-82 getrag trans for a tremec t-56 magnum now. Once we find a trans we will begin mocking the motor up!

Good to see the progress Tyler.

Finnished up the trunk area. no pics yet. seam sealed and will be appoxy painting wednesday. Then putting the car on the ground again and rolling it up to the front of the garage where its heated and putting one of the other cars in the back. Still looking for a trans and that is what is holding us back right now.

More updates and pics soon! :thumbsup:

Moving along!
 

Well i had off of school today so we had lots of things to do! Put the trunk lid on, put the rear end back in, and put the wheels on and roll outside! oh yeah and put the lawn furnature away for the winter :thumbsup:

Finished trunk floor:

Looks sweet man, love that body style... Looks awesome sitting down over the tires like that!

Thanks! too bad if you get a flat there is no way to change it without dropping the rear end! oh well thats what AAA is for! :D

Very nice. Looks great out in the sun.

TKO-600 Came while i was at SEMA! Also the centerforce clutch came and we are waiting on a mecleod throw out bearing to come now.

once these show up we will begin mock up of the engine. the firewall is going to have to be moved back a little but we are going to put it in just to get and idea on what needs to be done!

Great looking build Tyler. I have to say, I have not really paid attention to this thread until today. Then I see, you live real close to me. Furthermore, I recognize the pictures from Schroeder Implement. Keep up the great work.

Tim

Thanks Tim! Yeah we live real close Im in sussex. Dave Schroeder allowed us to have the chassis and the engine shipped to him and it made things so much easier as they had a fork lift and it worked out great! :thumbsup:

Friday night update!

Mcleod Throwout bearing came the other day.

Tomorrow we will be cutting the firewall so the engine will be able to mobe back about 2" and then it will be level! right now the oil pan is just resting on the crossmember. Hopefully tomorrow we will be able to weld the mounts :thumbsup:

She's coming along Tyler. Very nice.

Thanks! We got the motor mounts all welded up and we are just finishing up the transmission mount. We cut the fire wall out and the engine fit right in :thumbsup:


Ill update with more pics once we get the hoist out of the way and stuff;)

Nice progress Tyler. :thumbsup:

Those aren't heavy cars, are they?

Thats the price for looking cool !!:lol: :lol:

Looks great, love this project. And there's a Ford in that Ford! Yeah Baby!:thumbsup:

There decently heavy. Not sure on actual weights. we will get this car on the scales when finished!

Thats for sure! All about the looks!

Thanks! :thumbsup:



Started getting the front cores support on and the stone shield. We are leaving the original inner fender panels in for added support and fabbing some new panels to go over them. The make nice places to mount the computer too and run hoses and wire through!

Wow coming along pretty nice , there buddy

Thanks Josh!

My Grandpas brother is building a factory 5 33 ford with a coyote crate engine and was unable to use the headers that came with it in the car so he gave them to us! We had them ceramic coated

http://i1017.photobucket.com/albums/...wmo8/011-8.jpg

they are the same ones used on the mustang so we are using the mustang ones as mock ups :thumbsup:

what happened to all the picks in this thread?

Sorry Man! I Exeeded the bandwith for photobucket and working on getting it fixed!

Pics are back up everyone! Photobucket sure knows how to get ya!

Looks great! Nice to see the progress.

Ford Racing Control Pack came today from a member on SVTPerformance! Everything is brand new in the box. Really only need the wiring part because the air box that comes with it is useless. Got a great deal on it so couldnt be happier! The stock wiring was just going to be to much work to modify because of all the extra sensors and so on.
