Awesome stuff Brett.

How did you do the X pattern in the base plate so uniform? Im assuming its 16g and I've met you and can confirm you are not a robot.

Custom muffler by Rob @ No Limit Engineering. Don't think it will be Laguna quiet (what the he!! is?) but thinking it should be fine everywhere else.

This looks absolutely killer. It's a shame it won't be visible very often.

It's not that little. It's just that the nearby oil lines, exhaust and fuel filters are just that big. :hello:

I don't know that I have ever said this before, but your oil lines are hitting your rear window crank. LOL

I'm really glad to see how much weight is being added to this "street" car.... I was a little worried the SB2 might give him a P:W ratio that might make it faster than the Mustang..... Obviously my worries were overblown.

Very Impressive. Definitely thinking outside the box!
You really took this build to a whole different level!
Way to go for it Dave!:thumbsup:

Ignition is planned to go in there. It's small but still 21 lbs. Low and center of car is never a bad place to put things. :)

You have a sharp eye there Ron. Gotta leave those cranks so little Johnny can sit on the little battery when he is old enough and roll down the windows for some airflow. It's gotta get somewhat hot in that back seat.

Is there any issue with exhaust flow in using a pipe like this or a full rectangle vs oval or round? I like the idea, especially after trying to run my exhaust this week. It's almost impossible to get that stuff tucked up.

What a build.

diggin' the progress! Like others have noted and you have dealt with, I am doing a lot of :headscratch: trying to figure out how I am going to tuck exhaust into my car.

We spent some time together mocking up the seat, APRacing pedal assembly and the Woodward steering column to his liking. Looks like everything is going to fit with a little modification pushing the pedal assembly forward about 1/2 inch into the firewall and pushing the seat back a few inches.

After our work was done, we gave BadMotorFinger a treat and let her purr outside in the sun for a bit. A good time for some "On the ground" photos. No humans were hurt or bitten during our photo session.

You need to send that baby to the east coast, I have some "Big American Bulges" in mind for that car that would be wicked. Looks awesome Dave.

west coast bulges maybe fake but they sure hold up better after time than those east coast naturals. Breast analogy. LOL

Me too I wanna see some skin on the beast!

Dave,

I can't tell from the pictures, but are you running a power steering rack or a manual rack? I don't see a pump, so I was curious if you plan to steer those big-assed front tires without a little assistance. :)

57hemicuda 05-01-2014 02:06 PM
Most of the time on RACECARS, they drive power steering off of the dry sump pump.

As far as shape with the transition from collectors (round) into a sort of "D" section, all I can find on the subject, technically, says to have the "D" section at least larger than the round section, in an ideal world of course.

My math shows this:

3.5" round = an area of 9.62 sq inches

2.25" x 5" "D" = approx 9.06 sq inches (it's not a perfect semi-circle D shape as you can see in the pics)

So, essentially, it's close enough by my estimation. :)

If anyone sees my math wrong, please share your thoughts.

Ha. Would be cool if I had 2 68's to see how a set of yours would compare to a set of mine. Wait, that doesn't sound right... :sieg:

Hey, I've got an :idea: ... you do Payton's flares and there's your battle of the bulge(s). :stirthepot:

It's the same Ford rack that you should have, unless you changed something. Jones PS pump assembly will be going on in a bit.

Whew. It's good thing mine is running a standard crank/water pump driven one then. I'd hate to be thrown into that RACECAR category. :sieg:

Flash68 05-01-2014 08:07 PM
Got to sit in my new Butler seat. She's nice and snug and fits me well. Because I have been on the Payton bench press and lat pulldown program since I left North Carolina, we need to stretch out the rib tabs a bit. Otherwise it's all right where it needs to be.

We threw the head and shoulder pieces on as well while we were fitting the pedals and column, and they were much less intrusive with respect to the cage bars than we were anticipating. So that was good.

Got it. I did replace mine with an AGR rack, but it is the Ford compatible one...

Ohhh you did eh? I recall you had a steering issue but did not see you replaced it. Did it fail completely or you simply decide to upgrade/change?

57hemicuda 05-02-2014 03:05 AM
I like the over stuffed green one in the picture way better. Looks like you could drive all day in that one.

It will be perfect for reaching back to put the pacifier back in the babies mouth.
