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 .

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 .

Have had a busy weekend .Spent Saturday with my son making a custom alloy fuel tank .Being a Sheetmetal fabricator he made it look easy using a Cad cutter , all the pieces were cut to size and then folded . Another 4hrs welding and fitting it up. Here are some photos of its last fit up before having the lid welded in place . It has a surge tank for the pump to sit in and baffles to stop fuel from leving the pickup . He has also built in a baffle to stop fuel sloshing back up the filler under acceleration . Sunday was spent fitting the driver side extractors what a job .They are all seperate pipes but not a lot of room with a FE in a mustang engine bay i mean tight .
