Thanks guys! She is coming along quite fast. The weather is beautiful right now and we can work with the doors open. It will slow down a bit but we want to make it right and get a few test miles on before columbus next year!

Ordered a 90 degree coupler for the air intake and a filter from Anderson Ford Motorsports today. We are going to have to make the tube from the 90 to the filter and weld in a bung for the MAF sensor.

Other than that we have been tinkering with a few things and still finishing up the hoses for the radiator. Also notched the transmission cross member for the exhaust. We picked up some exhaust tubing and ordered the magnaflow mufflers this week also.

I will get some updated pictures later this week.

sway bar on



Anderson Ford Motorsports 8" Filter. Very impressed with the construction of the filter



The 90 elbow came too. it is a 4" - 3.5" reduced elbow and it fits a little loose on the thottle body so we are either going to have to exchange it for a 3.5" - 3.5" or run a reducer to make it work. We have to pick up a aluminum 3.5" pipe and weld a bung into it for for the MAF sensor yet. Other than that we have been working on a few little things like aluminum body spacers and finished the radiator hoses and they turned out really nice.


I will post more pictures tomorrow

The car is going by a friends shop to have the bumpers tucked and modified.




D Hooks for when transporting so you dont have to wrap the strap around the rear end. All you have to do is reach under and put the hook in there. They are stainless so no rust.





Trans crossmember done for the last time and clearanced for exhaust






Aluminum body mount pads.

Thanks! Little something that picked up on thats done at Rad Rides by Troy. I talked to troy and asked if we could buy a set because we couldnt find anything similar and we bought a set. We have 2 to weld on the front yet also
