progress on the '62 - Lateral-g Forums

well I pretty much have the turbo mounted (need bolts and gaskets for it) which feels like I got alot done as all I need now is to plumb the turbo to bonnet. to do that I need to mod my bonnet and get a flange made for my BOV to mount to. after that then I am on to plumbing the oil and fuel system. most of which is laid out and I just need ot bend tube for.

I turned down my wheel spacers today (took out .25") to try and get the wheels farther under the fenders as I am having some conflict issues (looking for solutions) by the end of the weekend I shoudl have the caliper mounts figured out and will order the stock to make those. once the mounts are made I just need to toss lines on them and they are done.

Very cool. Any pix of the whole car? Maybe I missed them.

hehe I am trying to hide it right now (needs quarters BAD). plus I got it parked behind my building right now so not enough room to get a good full car shot.....that and I have been in class and work until it is dark out all week.

A nasty "before" shot makes the "after" shot look that much better. Don't be shy, cough it up. (Besides we can always make it look like a million bucks with the help of photoshop)

Yeah we love the before pics when the car is rough. The more rough the more respect we gain for you in the end.

well you wanted rough.....the car set me back $400...$500 later it was a driver...this is a 4 y/o pic from about the first month of daily driver status. looks about the same only it sits WAY lower and is a different color....and is shaved

you know I have been thinking. Everyone has a project name for their car or a nick name. I simply call my car "The 62" or "The Fairlane" and I started thinking that since one of the most interesting factors is that I have a six in it and I am in engineering major....I have came to a conclusion....6 Sigma shall be it's name. Those familar with 6 sigma will understand when I say it is prob at level 2 right now.

tri-4 link rear
1996 mustang spindles on front (with upper ball joint brackets added)
fox stang rack
air bags on all corners
front halving the car for new double a-arm setup
currently has a 5 speed in it
17" mustang bullits
and up in the air about wether to go to 13" cobra brakes or keep the ~11" GT brakes (already got them....came with spindles)

bumpers are smoothed, doors and trim shaved off car...trunk shaved also
mini tubs going in the rear and might be making new openings for the front fenders for tires to clear

stock dash that will be getting Autometer phantom gauges in place of factory
gonna measure but thinking of 2003-2004 cobra seats (front and rear) There isn't alot of high tech stuff or real high dollar stuff but this is being built as a driver.

most of the nice stuff is coming after I graduate this winter (the suspension is my class project) but I am looking at an alloy head for the six and EFI

Thats what you were afraid of showing? That car doesnt look bad at all.

Cant wait to see the pics of it lower and shaved. Gonna be a sweet project when its finished.
