Forgot to add we also ordered the wilwood reverse mount pedal assembly with the forged arms along with the M/C's. They are on backorder till febuary. not a real big deal as we have enough stuff to keep us busy in the mean time.

Happy New Year Everyone! :thumbsup:

Thanks! We got one seat in and had to make some bushings and stuff since the guy we bought them from didnt tell us there were some parts missing from them.

Hoping to have the powersteering in this weekend along with the passenger seat :thumbsup:

Got the Power steering system together and on the motor

I would like to thank everyone at Turn Key Engine Factory for putting together such a nice product! We have never seen something bolt together as nicely as this pulley system has!

Thanks guys! I wish I could be riding that snowmobile more :D

Steering is all finished up! We replaced the column that we had in there for a IDIDIT which is much nicer than the one we originally had in there. Got all of the linkage all finished up and it turned out great!

http://i1017.photobucket.com/albums/...8/96c140f8.jpg

Finally got the prothane mount that was on back order for a month and a half. The mount came with a crossmember to bolt up to a 96-98 mustang gt but we threw that on the side and made our own. The Ford rubber mount just wasn't cutting it. Only way to get the pollyurathane mount was to buy the kit and we are sure glad we did!

http://i1017.photobucket.com/albums/...8/1682766e.jpg

Wilwood pedals came in on Friday also from back order for a month. They ended up sending 3 3/4" bore m/c's when we needed 2 and a 7/8". So we will have to send one back and exchange it. We started mocking up the pedal assemblys and right off the bat we have a pretty good idea on where to mount it and good pedal location. We will run remote fill with the 3 resivoirs under the dash speaker hole which will work out real cool!

This week we will finish mounting the pedal assembly and should have a finalized radiator so we can finish up the front core support. Once that is done we will order our mufflers from stainless works and start the exhaust system and also measure up a fuel tank and send the dimensions to ricks and have them make us one of their awesome tanks!

I love the setup! Looks killer and is one of the best pedal assemblies out there imo. :thumbsup:

billetman 02-08-2012 09:03 PM

It coming along very well. Good to see a Ford motor is going to get installed and by the way nice choice.

56pickup 02-15-2012 07:08 PM

Wilwood pedals are in Turned out great! We will be using the remote fill resivoirs and mounting them under the dash speaker hole with a false screen so it will look like a speaker but really only be an easy acess for under the dash

Does anyone know of a place to buy stainless tubing for exhaust from? either 2.5 or 3 inch

NAPA 68 02-27-2012 10:39 AM

Thanks Tim! We normally go there but just thought if I could get a good deal somewhere else I would too. It gets expensive when you add up all to the special bends and stuff.

Although behlings is right down the road from the house.

I am really happy with the way the pedals turned out. Even the gas pedal matches pretty good.
